AR-15 BS Thread

Anybody interested in buying a 18'' HBAR? caliber is supposed to be 223 wylde (According to the people I bought the upper from) but is marked 556 nato.
It is not chrome lined, and has 1-8 twist, and a mid length gas system.
I will not include a gas block as I believe that this is the source of my rifle not cycling correctly when hot (Alum. GB expands at a different rate than the steel barrel, cause leakage) but i do have a new GB on it's way so i can see if it is indeed the issue.

Make me an offer, or I am willing to trade for a 16'' m4 profile barrel.

here's a pic of the complete upper.

 

Received my PSA upper today. Looks really nice in person. Need rear sight, BCG, and CH and then I can slap it on my lower and rock and roll. The barrel is MPI before the coating is applied.

 

Looks good Timmy

 

nice! get the aimsurplus NiB BCG for $99 shipped

 

Thanks! I'm getting the Magpul MOE hand guard for it in OD Green and the matching MOE stock.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up!

 

need something creative to engrave on a dust cover....any ideas? take into account that the gun is a .458 socom

^^

Support TW folks

.458 Socom

 

ive been wanting to do this for a long time.

wanted RIP JLM (Dads initials) on the outside

and something else on the inside. like you.. wanting something cool/clever.

 

Cool, make sure you post pics.

I like it.

Hell, if you don't want to do it to support a TW member do it because he's a veteran.

 

I was thinking about a sledge hammer on it, I like slow moving sledge hammers.

or possibly the hammer of thor from mythology (not the one from the movie/comic)

 

Yep it fits right on top of your AR 15 lower, uses the same magazines, springs, buffers, stock.

what do you guys think about the Windham weaponry carbon fiber ar-15 thinking of picking one up this week end

 

Looks like the same upper I've got. I've even got the magpul hand guards in OD.

Lmk what you think of it I've only lyrics got maybe 90 rnds thru mine.

 

That sounds expensive, make sure you post pics.

Got my order from ironworks in today, I need to set up a vise so I can take the muzzle device off of my current upper to try the new gas block on, if the new gas block doesn't fix my issues I'm not sure what else to try.

 

Got the muzzle device off without a vise, weighed both gas blocks and the new one is a little smaller but a good bit heavier.
New

Old

 

Is there any good reason not to put a rifle length hand guard on a mid-lenght gas system?
Looking at this rail for my 6.8 and my choices from brownells are carbine or rifle length, rifle length from brownells is close to the cost of a middy from YHM.

I bought a mid-length hand guard on my carbine gas system. Just make sure the guard clears your gas block other than that it's personal preference. I actually almost went with rifle length for mine but thought it might be a little too long and look out of place.
