AR-15 BS Thread

So I want to get the 17 Designs folder finished so I more than likely can get rid of it.




I have a spare toolcraft BCG sitting around to use on it, so I ordered an Aero Pro



A basic Aero CH



And a 10.5" Diamondback barrel

 

I guess going all "Karen" on FedEx the other day worked . I got a text saying my EPC-9 stuff was in Ellenwood, GA.........it was just delivered.......so I'm gonna leave work and go grab it(only 5 miles from home)

 

My "lost" order magically appeared

 

Are you all dedicating a charging handle/BCG to each upper, or is it ok to use 1 charging handle/BCG for multiple uppers? I've always dedicated one for each upper, but always wondered if it would be ok.

 

I have always had one for each, but I'd imagine as long as you have the right bcg it would be fine.

 

Got it put together last night.



The comp sticks right outside of the rail



This was the first one I did. One of my docs at work wanted it, so I sold it to him
I went with a 9.3" rail over the 7.3", an Elftmann trigger over the CMC, and a Radian CH over a Strike Industries, and used Elftmann anti-walk pins b/c I didn't have any screw in on hand......all other parts are the same

 

After all the trouble, is it everything you hoped and dreamed for?

 

I don’t think using one with hurt anything as long as the head space in correct.

That said, I will always use a designated bolt for each upper. Like anything else in metal machinery, the bolt and the barrel extension will start to break into together. This usually helps with reliability. Also I have some calibers that I use a HP bolt and smaller firing pin holes too.

 

Yeah. It's the 2nd one I've built

Soooooo..... the word on the ground is that it seems a tone of company's & venders are pulling out of SHOT SHOW at the last second????????? I anyone else hearing the same thing

 

I wonder what the reason would be? Shotshow is a time to show your latest and greatest releases!

 

Not an AR but taco, dog, kids, rifles= USA!

 

The American Dream!!

 

They’re all saying because of the latest Covid breakout. The three sitting in my bar last night had gone so far as to all of their booths were already shipped and setup there at shot show and then they got the call to not go literally six hours before flying out

 

Swapped some parts off a pistol lower I had. Took the RA140 trigger and Strike Industries short buffer kit off. Added an Elftmann Pro Match, Aero buffer tube, pistol brace, and Armaspec SRS. I have an Aero Pro BCG and Radian CH on the way.......just need the 8.3" BA Premium barrel and then can it

After

 

Fun fact:I ran the maintenance at the Dekalb County landfill for 13 of my 27 years working at Dekalb

 

I'm working in Dekalb right now!

 

I retired from Dekalb and went to work for the City of Atlanta and did that mess for 3.5 years and quit for health reasons

 

I don't work for the city. My branch just so happens to be located in Dekalb County. I could see how working for the City of Atlanta for just 3.5 years could start to kill you.
