AR-15 BS Thread

I bought a pile of blem 80% lowers for $8 each a few years ago. I doubt I'll ever use them all in my lifetime. I even used some as beer tap handles....

That is nuts!

 

Yes we are. And not the good kind.

 

Waiting on my PSA lower with magpul grip and shockwave blade to be delivered to my FFL this week. $150

 

What EOTech optic do you recommend for the AR? The ability to co-witness with BUIS is a plus. I've been recommended this one:

My 2 favorites.

 

Aimpoint or Trijicon - EOtech lost all credibility a few year back.

 

The M-16. The worst POS ever forced on an American GI.

Thank heaven for JMB.

 

As others have said, EOTech has question marks after it. Do your own research and make your own judgement.

I had an XPS-2 on a H&K MR556, which is a lower 1/3 cowitness on that rifle because of the piston system raising the rail up. When I sold that rifle, I had an extra AR sight and also happened to have an H&K 516 in the safe not wearing anything. The two made friends. It is as close to a true cowitness as you can get with an EOTech (see pics).

Again, do your research. Lots of people like them. I generally prefer to favor Aimpoint.

Here is the XPS-2 with Troy BUIS. I couldn't get the reticle to focus, but it gives you an idea of the cowitness.

Thank you for this objective post. I currently run a Holosun 510c-Gr with one of their x3 magnifiers from time to time on my MP15. I’m wrapping up a 2A build and was offered my pick of the litter from EOTech’s current lineup, and thought I might throw it on the 2A rifle.

 

All right keyboard warriors. I am building my first AR pistol. I have found and ordered everything except the pistol brace. What are you guy's running? Please post pictures and or links if possible to help my old butt out. Thanks for any and all help.

 

SB tactical is pretty much the “go to”, the SBA3 and SBA4 seem to be the most common, I’ll let other chime in on which they prefer (I always SBR) but if you order from SB tactical themselves you can use code “GunFunny15” for a 15% discount.

 

I've been looking at a Juggernaut build, I like the look of the combo kits they have. Anyone have experience with these guys?

 

Wish I had known this before I ordered my last 2 braces haha

 

Preban lowers otherwise you have to do fixed mag and a bunch of other nonsense

 

My 10.5 inch upper shipped this morning

 

I haven't finished my built but went with the SBA3. Feels pretty much just like a stock. Used some Velcro from my wife's sewing supplies and made a free split fix. Definitely recommend

 

I have decided to use the same brace. Thanks for the picture
