AR-15 BS Thread

What's form 2, chopped liver?

 

To us mere mortals, yes. I left it out because it’s for FFL’s only.

 

Im still trying to understand how that nfa trust works

 

Have you read this? If you have any questions post in that thread or DM me and I’ll do my best to clear it up.

Ok yeah I kinda thought I had form 1 and 4 right in my head lol supposedly the store closest to me is gonna be getting a kiosk. I’d rather go through that than have to get my prints done and send them off and what not. Need to continue my research on suppressors now...

 

No kiosk close to me so I had to do the finger prints and mail them in. Only added two days so it’s not bad.

 

Shit thanks man, i’ll give it a read!

 

My first can I didn't have to do prints and it was awesome, my second can I used a kiosk and it was stupid simple.

 

Put about 200rds of garbage steel cased Tullamo through the new AR pistol. I sighted in my Red dot and iron sights. Things I learned
1. That steel cased ammo ran like garbage In my PSA 10.5 and in my buddies Aero Precision 10.5” Pistol. Both of our guns had SEVERAL failures to eject, light strikes & failure to feed, and also failure to lock open on empty mag. Both rifles were VERY DRY. I sprayed some ballistol in the BCG and upper receiver & racked the charging handle a dozen times and then had absolutely no other failures.

2. I will keep my AR “wet”

3. I’ll probably stick to brass manufactured ammo just to reduce the frustration that ultra cheap steel cased can cause but it was probably all due to the fact that I never even cleaned/lubed the AR before taking it out.

 

Looking to use a BCM KMR with a Surefire Warden. Wanted to know if the outside diameter of the Warden exceeds the inside diameter of the KMR? Essentially, can I have a little overlap between the two? From the pics I've seen this won't work but I wanted to confirm. Let me know!

 

I too keep my rifles relatively wet and almost never experience failures due to steel cased ammo. That being said, they arent dripping in oil lol. My 5.56 gun loves that cheap shitty ammo! However my old 10.5” upper didn’t like it. Weird how that worked out.
Have a 9mm pistol now and need to sight it in.

 

This is my very first AR & I’m not an “excessively oiled” kind of guy. I keep my guns on the dry’er side generally. I also only use Ballistol exclusively, which helps keep everything easy to maintain/lube without “gumming up” anything with other types of lube

 

I realized almost immediately the the QD system of the Warden will create and issue of its own.

thanks for the input though!

 

I did see that. Might be something to look into but still won’t allow clearance with that particular hand guard.

 

No prints on the first, why not? Also, any 556-30 cal suppressors you recommend I look into? Preferably with a QD option

 

I basically drench my shit in CLP.

Once a year i tear everything down, remove every spec of carbon with good cleaner and a brush/patch/ect and then bathe liberally in CLP. Then throughout the year its usually just a boresnake and quick field strip/clean/lube of the BCG and wipedown of everything else (with more CLP of course). Always have gone a little dryer if i need to on my "in between session" maintenance depending on conditions (dusty fields, rainy forest, bench at the range, ect). Been doin that for about 5 years now. Although my tempo has slowed down the last year or two b/c of other priorities (like flee'ing CA)


For the life of me i cant remember the last failure of any kind i had with any of my AR's (even my nostalgia cheap-o PSA A4 clone, which admittedly only has about 1k through it). Over 10k rounds of (almost exclusively) PMC x-tac and federal 62g... And i cant remember a failure.

Then again, only shooting 1-2k at the most between field strip style cleanings, i guess id be pretty bummed if i was having problems lol

 

I've got my eye on the Griffin Armament Optimus.

 

It was back before the amendment that required fingerprints for trusts.
For the budget range YHM has good options, the Turbo, Turbo K, Resonator, and Resonator K are great options in the sub $600 range, they’re the cheapest that I would consider going without going direct thread.
For the $600-750 dollar range you have the Griffin Recce 5 and Recce 7, they’re solid cans but are an older design (they have had revisions over the years) so they’re heavier than some of the newer options but they have great durability.
Above $750 Griffin also has some good options such as the Explorr series (the .224 Explorr is actually under $750) and @45acp can tell you his experience with the Explorr series. Or you can get into the user serviceable rifle suppressors when you get closer to 1K.
Rugged and dead air also have some good options in the $650-1,000 range.

I got one as my first centerfire can and I really like it, I run the mid length version to keep my SBR shorter and it sounds good.
I will warn you, don’t expect to go to the range and expect to switch configurations “on the fly” the can will have to be ambient temp to get anything unthreaded and I’ve had the pistol assembly “cage” get stuck inside the can requiring a vice to hold the can while I popped it loose.
It is a very good suppressor and because of the versatility I know that I don’t shoot my pistols suppressed very often, I would rather wear ear pro than shoot more than a mag or two with the suppressor attached because it changes the feel of the pistol so much.
