AR-15 BS Thread

I have 3 Vortex PST scopes - they’re great. I have a Sparc II and it’s a fine sight - has never let me down, though it does eat batteries faster than the manual says it should.

It’s not up to the quality of my Aimpoint T2, but at 1/3 the price I’m ok with that. Great optic for my range ARs.

 

Got the ports in the gas block and barrel fully aligned? If they are off maybe you’re getting enough gas to cycle some loads but not others?

 

On the rounds that you have to charge after... Is the casing ejected?

 

That’s some big bucks! I was more talking about scope setups like ATN’s x-sights/ Thor set ups that would utilize a battery pack.

 

Thanks...I am working on a build with a spare 16" barrel...i can't decide if I want to use a SLR 15" with a slight gap or 15.5" with no gap with my Silencerco specwar.

 

What the hell is this contraption!?

Looks like something an alien would probe you with.

 

You're not the 1st to say that!

 

Its probably permanently attached to add length to ensure it is not a SBR. Looks like a screw on sleeve would make it a suppressor.

 

Try this remove the BCG and heavily lube it, dripping wet. Don't dry it or remove any excess oil and reassemble rifle. Shoot it wet.

 

What buffer combos should I try for a 6.5 creedmoor build?
Rifle buffer
Rifle gas system

 

I have one of the original Sparcs on my first AR build. It's got too many rounds through it to count and has held up well. As others have said, they do tend to eat batteries compared to the other stuff on the market but the quality and durability are really good. They also come with a lifetime warranty. On two of my other builds I put Holosun red dots on them. For an inexpensive red dot they work really well too. Battery life is MUCH better and they have some great features (motion activated and you can set the "time to sleep.") More and more people are starting to use them as a cheaper alternative to the Aimpoints. If I was an operator operating operationally I would spend the money on an Aimpoint, but alas I am just a dude who shoots a lot.

 

Its a 11.5" barrel with a pinned suppressor core so it becomes a "one tax-stamp" rifle (instead of needing a SBR and Suppressor stamp)

 

More wood.

 

They came assembled from the factory so unless they f'ed it up i dont think that thats the problem. I did pull the bottom set screw and checked for an alignment dimple and one was present so i dont think that they are off.

Yup all the cases ejected every single one. Just did not pickup the next one, im wondering if im blowing past them before they pickup or if im short stroking them (dont even say it)

hahah ill try that next round out, had to do that for one of the older 300blks i have, makes me feel like im shooting a semi auto black powder

 

If any body is interested, I have a still new Alpha Shooting Chrony Chronograph for sale $100 TYD.

 

Would wood
