AR-15 BS Thread

My friend wants to trade me a LMT upper with Daniel deference carrier group for my Springfield XD subcompact . He said his upper is new. Is it a decent upper ? I don't know much about AR-15's. I have a complete spikes tactical lower and all I need is an upper .

 

Daniel Defense is a good brand, and I believe LMT is good also.
It's up to you, is the upper set up like you would like?

 

Thats not a bad deal at all IMO. This was my last LMT upper...

 

What length barrel is that?
And what scope mount?
And what hand rail?

 

Quality wise you would be doing very well on that upper. Those are both very gtg brands. So now go do your homework - what is a Springfield XD sub $ worth and what is the upper $ worth? What condition is the XD in since the upper is new? Go from there. GL.

 

That was an 18" barrel. The mount is Larue Tactical with and an integrated RMR angle mount. The handrail was Fortis.

I bought a help.

 

Nice! Does it do 40 rounders too?

 

Anybody have any thoughts or experiences on the Vortex Optics Spitfire Prism Sight? My build is almost done and now it's time to start thinking about optics. I'm thinking something that's magnified would be my best option.

I am also considering the Holosun HS510C for the large field of view that it offeres.

 

The spitfire is pretty cool, and other than the ACOG it would be hard to find a more compact magnified optic. The reticle works ok with 55 grain rounds, zero at 100M and the 500M holdover is close enough with a 16" bbl. I don't know about the holosun, but personally I've found 1x red dots to be minute of dude accurate at 50 meters and pretty well worthless past that. Neat for pistols and shotguns, not much use on a rifle at any rifle distances. I sold my last Eotech for $100. My favorite AR scope is the Leupold Mark AR 3x9, but I also don't do the three gun thing and mostly shoot from 100-300M with occasional 500M shots. The big question to ask yourself is how you are really going to use the rifle and at what range, and get an optic that does best for those ranges in your price range.

 

New build started.

Doing m16 a2 replica. Nothing authentic. Just look wise.

Been digging the reviews of this so I got one..

 

Will sell soul for ACOG 3.5x35 ACOG. Pretty sure its worth it...Any advice

 

anyone have a holosun micro rds? looking into one of those

comparing the primary arms rds, bushnell trs25 , sparc II and the holosun 403. any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

I have/had the PA micro dot, it's a good little sight for the money. Held zero for the whole time it was on my AR. The dot is ok but is alittle distorted around the edges which is expected on cheaper dots. Don't have any experience with any other dots you mentioned though.

 

I have the $80 PA on my 9mm SBR. Works perfect and had held zero. No complaints, especially for that price.
