AR-15 BS Thread

I have one that fits fine and one that's really tight. Could be the lower, too.

 

Finally threw on better glass cause what better time than now


Think...I'm finally done with this thing

 

Looking good!
What’s the old glass and the new?
(I may ask if you want to sell me the old glass & mount.)

 

Must resist ordering aero shit...damn this corona virus bullshit

 

Got a suppressor ordered at the beginning of this month and said that was going to be it. Ordered a new flash hider, sending my upper in to get chopped down and got my last bulk shipment in before all the panic buying started... then my carbine class got canceled and money refunded so I bought a modlite plh v2... now thinking about selling my mro and getting an exps3 and their new 5x magnifier. Damn this virus I’d rather be shooting

 

I want a suppressor too but I can’t help but think the rona gonna holds that shit up too

 

From the time I got my paperwork and everything turned in until they cashed my 200 stamp was less than 2 weeks so that’sa good sign. It’s never fast no matter what, might as well start the process and get the ball rolling. I started this one March 1st withThe expectations of having it by Christmas if it’s before then I’ll be happy

 

Gives you a idea of nfa times on paperwork return.

Just do ittttt, the sooner you get the form 4 submitted the sooner it comes back. They can’t approve it if it’s not in the pile of paperwork they have.

 

PSA is fine, i dont know what people are saying. I got a new upper and it doesnt have any issues.

 

I haven't run mine real hard or in adverse conditions but no issues yet. I just wanted to get more rifles in the safe at the time. My nice rifle is a LaRue. I might end up replacing them one at a time as I can afford to. I kinda want to just abuse the fuck out of one and see what happens.

 

While most of my rifles are Spikes, Aeros and Noveske. I used a PSA upper for a A4 clone (to relive my glory days before we got M4s) and it shoots great, never had a failure of any kind. Although ive only put a few thousand through it and she gets pampered same as the nicer rifles.

I have heard its about QC when it comes to PSA (as with any large/cheap manufacture). Maybe i got a middle of the week build and not a Friday 5pm build lol

 

Could happen any name brand. Ive heard more issues with more well known names than PSA...

 

I have a few PSA rifles and my 12.5” Suppressed SBR is a PSA rifle (it’s my most run rifle) and in a few thousand rounds the only problem I’ve had is with the BCG, and that may have been just from lack of cleaning, I dropped in a new BCG and it was GTG.

The problem with the BCG was it would go into battery smoothly but when I racked the CH it took some force to the the bolt to cam over.

 

If you read a few of the last dozen pages you’ll see the elitist mindset claiming that PSA is hot garbage and basically the hi point of the AR world. I was giving those guys a hard time specifically. It’s the same guys saying you have to run KING or stage 27 ICON suspension in order to blast a fire road at 40mph.


The best AR is the one you have. It’s as simple as that. I didn’t have a rifle, now I do and thanks to PSA, their lifetime warranty and crazy great prices - it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg to have a sweet little 10.5” pistol rig.

 

Yeah I mean I built a PSA just to get my foot in the door without spending a shit load to learn on it. It didn’t blow up on me so far so that’s good.

 

New is a vortex razor HD Gen II-E 1-6 on badger ordinance COMM 1.93 rings since I apparently want my rifle to have 0 color matched parts lol


Old was a vortex strike eagle 1-8 SFP on stock rings.

Honestly the strike eagle was fine and is great for what it is, just figured it was time to upgrade to a higher end option that's a little more SHTF proven.

Of course, I also say this thing is done "for now"
Anyone playing in the nods/IR game?

 

Some good reading here.

Got a new SS match barrel, AAC 51T fh for the 762SD, Fortis full angle grip, chopped my rail by 3/4", removed the magnifier and did some general maintenance. Can't get over how balanced it is now. (Yes I'm missing a bolt for the rail lol)

 

You can get hollow point and soft point... but they sometimes dont want to feed as well as a standard full metal jacket.
Nosler once made a 223/556 Balistic tip that shoots like a FMJ but hits like a HP.
Dont know if they still do these.


Side note... I like my cheapo PSA pistol kit/80% 5Dtac billet lower, it still just a baby though, will see how she ages.



This was a load your own deal BTW.
Could walk in and get blems back in the day. At Nosler.
I have no idea whats up now.
