AR-15 BS Thread

Faster than the SD3G? Yes please.

 

great pic, ..it's bigger than the kid!

...something cool about that older-style handguard, ...and of course, grenade launcher for the win!!!

 

Shot a F/A FNC and MG42 today, and my AKs. It was a good day.

 

Hell. it's a good day when I get out to shoot with just my Mosin, yours sounds like a great day!

 

I told you that you should've came to the pumpkin blast. Dude just handed me a belt of 8mm mauser to shoot out of the MG42.

 

Damn

I got my living room almost put back together. Walls will be painted today, then on to flooring. Just in time for turkey day.

 

That sounds SO much less fun.

 

I'd like to paint my AR for this deer season (Should have my 6.8 running soon, found a scope I can borrow from my 30-30, all I need is a hand guard, magazine, and gas block roll pin).
Any ideas on pattern/color to use?
The area I'm hunting is mostly pines and underbrush.
I was going to make some templates and just use spray paint.

 

If you use normal spray paint you will wish you had not. You will wear regular spray paint home from the range. Gun oils and solvents eat that stuff like candy. Use some AHII or Brownell's version of GunKote.

 

The gun oil shouldn't be on the paint, I only wipe down my blued guns with gun oil, the anodizing doesn't need it.
But thanks for the heads up.

 

gray white and black urban camo for the win. Deer wont know what it is.

 

i finally bought my first AR

it is kinda heavy CTD says 8.35lbs http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/8-WW-R20FSSFTWS2 but honestly i dont care i hate quad rails and im not allowed an adjustable butt stock in MA so i really like this option, also i dont want to play range commando just wanted something nice to shoot. the wood is so nice looking in person and i really love the looks

 

I've had no such problems using regular camo paint and then using 2 -3 coats of satin clear. Just a little care when using your cleaning products and you wont have any problems. This rifle was done three years ago and still looks like the day I did it.



I know it's not an AR but I don't paint my AR's...

 

does anyone want to offer advice on whats a good affordable optic if you dont plan on shooting over 100 yards, preferably available at bass pro shops

 

I love my

$420 Eotech 512.a65 EOTECH 512 Holographic Weapon Sight

Eotech 512.a65. got mine brand new for $400 after a $60 mail in rebate.

I like it because it uses AA's which are more readily available.

 

that's a little rich for this week, maybe some open sights for now. thanks for the input

 

Do you want a red dot or a low power magnification scope?

Could get a 1-4...nikon has their M223 1-4 and a Leupold 1.5-4, each for $300

There's also a couple Burris red dots that have a $100 rebate, putting them at $250 and $300.


I'd wait 2 weeks and see what Black Friday brings.

 

Get any of the Primary Arms brand red dots

 

Vortech red dots can be bought for around $150.
