AR-15 BS Thread

Finally a crappy pic of my 6.8 SPC. I'll probably put a smaller scope, or maybe fixed sites with a red dot. It's next year's hog hunt build, so plenty of time to decide . Really, I didn't plan to get it this far so soon. I'll also build a new lower too, the one on it, is from another AR that should be put back together.

The way it sits today, kind of frankengun

• PSA CHF 14.7" welded muzzle brake
• Vortex Diamondback 5-25x50, kind of a cheaper scope, it's just okay
• ADM 20 MOA mount
• Geissele SSAE trigger
• Cheap, but functional, Anderson lower

 

A little long, but good info:

He sure has a lot of gauges though.... that's hot.

 

That's a cool looking air register in the background. How old is your house?

 

Sorry to waste your time. I was posting for those guys that don't know it all.

 

I think it was built in 1938. They're ok, but they need attention, or they'll squeak and rattle. I've got two that don't fit so well, whoever redid the floors in those two rooms, laid new floor over old
Rather than tear the floors out, I'll probably build another AR or keep building comp bolt gun

 

What's the best way to price a gun you built yourself? Cant compare it to buying the same gun. Just go based off of what you have in it?

For reference:
Aero Lower
Ergo Grip
CMC Trigger
Magpul MOE Rifle Stock
Wilson 6.8SPC 14.7" Stainless Barrel
Troy Medeival Brake - Pinned/Welded
RGuns BCG
Vortex DiamondBack 3.5-10x50
Vortex Cantilever Mount

Maybe a couple other small things I forgot.

 

Add up retail value of all parts, dive by .5, check to see if it’s cheaoer than an MP15.

 

Better to multiply by .5
Nobody is going to give you twice what you paid for it but they might give you half

 

That’s what I was trying to say :/

 

What’s everybody running for lights? Looking at stream light currently and trying to find some Mlok mounts

Olight is running some sales right now.

 

the sky is the limit depending on how much money you want to spend. I have this streamlight m-lok mounted and using the tape switch that comes with it.

Pretty sure that’s the exact one I was looking at

 

Lil lead down range. 12.5 BCM SBR/G19x

 

I am a fan of the Borderlands videogames series that I decided to make one of my builds to look like a possible loot drop from the game

 

how do you like the sightmark ultra plus ? thinking about snagging one from bass pro black friday 80 bucks I do think. Also, thoughts on their 3x magnifier? I am not a long range shooter, never will be. thinking close quarters, maybe out to 50/100 when needed
