AR-15 BS Thread

Sling and trigger. Carbine furniture works for what it needs to do, and that dot will be just fine in the role, but a trigger (MBT 2S for a budget trigger, or any of the TTAG drop in triggers if you want to spend more) and sling (Blue Force Gear or Viking Tactics are both solid) are both good for "buying points" in that they make getting first round hits much more feasible. Flashlight if you value seeing targets 24/7.

After those, ammo and training. Looking cool is the goal but you won't look cool if you can't run the gun.

 

Thanks guys for the tips. I'll look into trigger for sure. My groupings at 75 yards or so are pretty tight right now. Hopefully can find a few things to help me range out a bit more

 

I don’t come in here very often anymore but this babe just got put together today.





She’s getting ceracoated. And a shopping spree. Accessorized is in her future.

Top one is for comparison. That’s her new sister.

 

This is what I have planned.

EVERYONE is out of shit. Sitting as you see that new one I am in:
Can - 1200
Up - 1000
Low - 700

when it’s done?
New stock - 90
New trigger - 300
Optic - 900-1000 If I go with another magnifier it doubles
Flip up sights for redundancy - 300
New pistol grip - 50
New charging handle - 80
Front 45 degree - 45-60
If I decide to go this route and put an IR Illuminator - 800

pretty much all I’m doing to it though.

Wrote that for a buddy.

 

Shit. The one on top is 10k. Easy.

after all the shit in it. Totally rebuilt.

 

does the rifle on top have the Aimpoint magnifier? I have one from around 2007 and it's still running great on a LarRue flip to side mount.

 

Same set up that I have here with the LaRue. Thats the 3x on the LMT (top). Since they have a new 6x, I am thinking of getting that and swapping the 3x to the SBR and putting the 6x on the LMT.

 

What's the barrel length on your BCM, 11.5?

 

Only one they had that I could order, just got lucky when I logged on to check. They have been out of everything for months. I really want a 9", but this will do for now until I can order the 9".

 

That's the one that I have been looking at getting. I think it's a good choice for 5.56. It still gives it a decent amount of velocity.

 

Unless you have a can, shooting 556 out of less than 11.5" is just not enjoyable. Even with ear plugs and muffs on, my head feels like it is being hit with a hammer each time I pull the trigger.

 

Hell, shooting unsuppressed with a 12.5” and a muzzle brake isn’t fun either, I used to run mine suppressed for home defense but after hours of dry fire I finally decided that running it unsuppressed for defense and suppressed at the range was the way to go.

 

I don’t even see a reason to build a 556 under 12.5 unless it’s to suppress Lol

 

I wouldn't have built it if I didn't have a can. You did see the picture above right?

 

Should probably get both

 

Definitely both.
