AR-15 BS Thread

Unless if you plan on overstate traveling like in an airplane for half the price I would go with Plano brand cases!

 

I have one of these. Double case, lockable, TSA approved, and holds a ton of stuff. I opted to NOT cut the foam so I can put other guns in it when I need to and it works just fine that way.

 

Exactly!, if you want to cut your foam, I have found out that 1750 pelican case replacement foam. (Foam number is 1751)on eBay almost perfect in there. You just half to cut your radiuses in and about a 1 inch strip down the length

I have a few of the Plano cases as well, they work fine for range trips, etc.
However a lot of my shooting takes place via boat. Having a case that is 100% element (including salt water) proof that also floats is a huge factor.

 

Unrelated but if anyone needs to fly with a yeti or similar cooler they make great pistol cases. Used mine to store gear for a camping trip and didn’t want tsa posing anything so I put one of my glocks in it.

 

I picked up a Plano 36" case today from Academy Sports with locking latches for $ 69.99. It will fit my needs real well. Thanks for all who posted help.

 

BCG arrived. Gonna be a month before I can shoot again :/

 

Posted these in the what did you buy thread.
7.5 inch 5.56 with YHM Phantom supressor with quick disconnect brake. Without the supressor, the end of the brake sits flush with the Midwest Industries handguard. Magpul K2 grip.
Holosun circle dot red dot.
Still waiting on buis and a DevilDog Concepts side charging kit.

 

Update on this.
Sent my BCG back to Aero. They sent me a shipping label and said they’d send me a new one once they receive the return. Kinda cool of them. I did mention that if they test or evaluate the BCG and their findings are the same as mine (extractor problem) they could just send me back my old BCG with a new extractor and I’d be fine with it. Now just waiting.

 

Finished my pistol build. Still waiting on the second kinekt qd rail for the non-vertical foregrip to show up but it’s functional.

Needless to say my plan for a $400 pistol went WAY over budget. But I like the balance and think this will replace my current bump-in-the-night gun.

 

Very nice.

 

And nickel boron is SOOOO much easier to clean!

 

PSA-You may already know this, but if your OAL is under 26" on a pistol you can't have a vertical grip or the ATF will come and shoot your dog.

 

Put an extra Oring under the extractor if there isn't one. Many 308 Are are severely overgassed. Only way I could fix one of mine was an adjustable gas block. With a suppressor on it the thing has to be nearly closed.

 

Tried that. It came with 2 o-rings. Aero's tech support suggested I remove one or both. Tried it in all three configurations and the problem got worse without them. Now that I think about it,I should have tried removing the redundant extractor spring to ease some of the tension off. Oh well, it's already on it's way to them to either repair or replace.

 

Correct. I am at 26.1” without the brace or muzzle device.

I also wonder since the grip is 85* if it counts as “vertical” lol

Plus no dog, but I do like the kids so decided to follow the laws even if they’re stupid and unconstitutional.

 

Reddit’s go to comment lol. But seriously gotta be careful.

 

Haha yup!

 

What's the verdict on adjustable gas blocks?

Anyone have good experiences with a low-profile adjustable that will still fit under most rails?

 

I really like my superlative arms adjustable block. It’s spendy but it works and is low profile.
