AR-15 BS Thread

They have some nice packs... see above comment

 

You guys know anything about a century arms FAL? Quality wise, reliability, ect?
My buddy is looking at one but I got no clue on them... Any info is appreciated.

 

I think they have problems with head spacing and the rolling blocks. I would suggest looking around and getting an imbel or I hear DSA makes a good version of the FAL. I think that Century has the CETME I dont think they actually make the FAL.

 

Got this puppy last week. Rifle is made from a DPMS parts kit. 1:9 Twist Upper. Starky Grips, MagPul 6 position stock, MagPul flip up front and rear sights, Sight Master Red Dot, N Star Quad Rail, Tac Light with pressure switch on foregrip, 1 Point Sling, Four GI Mags, 220 rounds of 5.56. 700 bones total.

 

thats a steal! nicely done man

 

Pieced mine together as well.

DPMS lower
Rock River upper with green moly resin coating
Free float quad rail
Magpul UBR stock (Awesome!)
Magpul MOE grip
Magpul RVG/AFG and MBUIS

 

Interesting color variation of you got going on there

 

lol, ya kinda has a mind of its own.

 

Looks like a mix of my MP15 and 15-22 goodies


How do you like the UBR? Almost went that route, I like the adjustability, but nobody had it for me to try and handle/feel


And for people running scabbards, my Marinecoat JIC Mossy 500 pistolgrip fits perfect in my OD Scabbard



I run OD/black on everything except my TRP full rail operator 1911

 

yea... no garage here =\...

 

Oh! Well, surely you can find an armorer or someone to do it for you where you are...

 

yup yup!! i just ordered my BCG and charging handle and front sites ... next up is a barrel and its components

 

Ordered an upper finally. Should be here next week.

I think it was ok for 500 bones.

 

Any body here have experience with polymer lowers? Thinking about building a $500 AR for shooting shitty ammo and abusing

They are doing some amazing things with polymers these days but still I probably wouldn't buy one. I can't remember what forum I was reading the other day about them and the people weren't to impressed by them. Ill try to go find it and reread it

Edit: It was the bushmaster carbon lower I was reading about, not the polymer. Interested to see what people say about it

 

I bought a polymer lower as my first build. The gunsmith at shop it was transferred to was impressed with. The only thing he didn't like was that the take down pins were "plastic".

I read up on them and found that a lot of folks liked them. Of course you have the people who are against them but eh.

Check out New Frontier Armory.

 

ya new frontier was what i was looking at. link the is just a guide to building the cheap gun and thats the lower they said to use

 

Aim Surplus had one at one time that was a polymer lower with all metal internals, I think it was an Omni lower. I think they were selling this complete for around 100.00. I thought about buying one for a .22 build. I am at work so Aim is blocked, otherwise I would throw up a link.

 

You can buy a blem aluminum lower for $60. Why bother with the plastic ones?

 

Complete lower? The new frontier one is fully built
