AR-15 BS Thread

Nice! A friend told me he had just acquired 3k rounds of tracer 5.56. I'm stoked for him haha.

Any sling recommendations? I've never had an AR sling before but am leaning towards the BFG VCAS sling.

 

It was recommended in this sub.

 

I finally broke down and decided to build a "pistol" (I used to keep a buffer tube around to build all of my lowers as pistols but ended up giving it to a family member), so I have a few parts on their way now, I'll be using a spare lower I had and an old upper.
I think I may have forgotten the trigger guard though...

I just finished redoing my 11.5 today.
Has the mbt-2s and a holosun also.

 

Nice! What brace? If I go away from the bare buffer tube I may go with the SB PDW brace.

 

It's the sba3, same one most everyone else runs. I like the pdw one, but it was just so much more cash. I'd definitely run it if it was a shorter gun like a sub gun size.

 

That’s what I thought.
Yeah, I went and looked at the price tag on the PDW after I looked at the brace and decided that I just need a bare buffer
It would be cool to have the PDW brace with my 4.75” 9mm upper and a suppressor, but I don’t know if they offer a 9mm BCG for the special system.

I ended up buying a sling, Light, BUIS, and some other accessories (QD sling mounts, KAG handstop, etc.) tonight just to finish up the pistol build. I think it’s about 2K that primary arms has gotten from me over the past 3 days....

 

Dropped in a CMC Flat trigger (3.5lbs) and a Magpul MOE-K2. Feels real nice!

 

On a 11.5" PSA 5.56 upper, 80% lower or a new 100%, CMMG lower parts kit, leftover milspec trigger (for now), Anderson Milspec buffer.

Put this together over a period of about 3-4 years. Got the stripped lower off a local FFL new for $75, caught a couple sales at PSA and used a bunch of Cabelas points to make this total out under $900.

 

Anyone need any lc brass? Once fired? Can sell it dirty or prepped by the 1k. Shoot me a pm.

 

Just ordered the Streamlight HL-X.

 

Arfcom down?


ETA, nope.

 

Nope it’s up

 

How did I do with cable management? The cable has some room to move, it’s not cinched down around it. Go gentle on me, it’s my first time

 

Wire is bent a little tight. Flip the pad around and try again

 

Looks like a pretty short handguard so I assume your thumb is going to be positioned more forward so flipping the pad to have the button up front closer to your thumb might be better.

Also, get the arisaka mount and ditch the pic rail section and stock mount. Makes it much more low profile and not much added cost.

 

I have a sickness...but I'm ready! You folks from those government controlled states can only drool.

 

Only piece of advice I can give is if anyone wants a combo magnifier to get a red dot with nothing larger than a 1 MOA or else you can't hit anything past 100 yards consistently

 

Then you’re doing it wrong
