AR-15 BS Thread

Just got my first AR 2 weeks ago.

 

Welcome to the party.

What’d you get?

 

I really like my SLR rail although I have a different model than the one on your rifle. I have the one that only has a short section of picatinny at the top and bottom at the end of the rail. How do you like that one?

 

Any more so than the standard black adonize finish?

 

No not really. But with lighter colors the scratches showed more

 

Thanks buddy, I went with the Springfield Saint.

 

Well that was a pretty good pick for your first AR. Where are the photos?

 

Do any of you use NIGHT VISION?

 

I wish, I’m to poor for that except the ATI X-sight but I’m still on the fence about those.

 

I have owned two now and was very pleased with the price and what I got. And now I’m in line for the 3rd Gen

 

In fact, I just sold my X-Sight 5x18 for $350. I was asking because I have a battery pack mounting solution for anyone that was interested.

 

I haven’t gotten my hands on one so I’m still not sure if I want to buy one, but i think it’d be cool for my 12.5” 6.8spc upper build, run it suppressed and wreck varmints with it.

 

I'll let you know after it arrives in a few days. That was just a teaser pic I got from Tom at SOLGW. It's a 15.5" rail on a 16" barrel, so it's designed perfectly for almost no gap between whateverer dead air suppressor I eventually get (prob a sandman-k) and the rail system.

 

Not yet, but I'm planning on getting some eventually, preferably a bnvd setup with a mawl on the rifle.

 

Anyone running vortex sights? If so, impressions? Looking to pick one up before i shoot this again.

 

none personaly, what kind of optic are you thinking about? red dot, or lpvo?

 

Red dot

 

Only pic I have right now, was right after I opened the box.
Already have a low profile gas block
15" free float rail
Spark AR red dot
13 mags

I just ordered a vortex spark can keep you updated.

 

I've got a Vortex Strike Fire II on my Saint Edge. Only had the chance to put about 100 rounds through it but am happy with the red dot so far.

 

I need some brain picking help with my creedmoor, aero upper and lower and barrel, lancer BCG, random spring and buffer for 308. The gun shoots and cycles 129 hornady ammo perfectly, shoots 143? Grain eld's with a few jams on feeding. Will not cycle the 140 grain bthp, i have to charge the rifle after each shot... i will be changing the spring and buffer to a jp silent capture buffer but do i get the spring kit or am i missing something some where else??? Its all factory ammo for now until barrel break in and same magpul mag. Cant figure this out.
