AR-15 BS Thread

Well, I know what I'm doing tomorrow at work.

 

If you take the mag apart (base plate, spring, follower, etc) then it is considered a repair kit and is CA legal. You have a PM inbound

 

I've seen that no oil required nonsense too. Best thing to do is coat that bitch in lube and whatever is excess will drip off.

What's this gunbot stuff?

site that updates on different ammo site and prices every min.

 

I meant since my AR has a ceramic coating on it I do not have to oil the bolt at all

 

i'd still oil it, whenever's there's friction it's a good idea to have lube.

 

Well I haven't oiled it in the 2 years I have owned but I have only shot about 200 rounds through it

 

thoughts?

i like the outline on the rifle

 

200 rounds isn't enough to show wear or get dirty enough to see why you have to lube your rifle.


I cerakote my rifles, they still require oil. I use Frog Lube.

It's your stick, you want to cause premature wear and possibly permanently damage stuff, more power to you

 

7.62 uppers on ar15 build. anyone?? recommended? durable? accurate? anything.....

 

x39? i want one to use like a 30-30 but i haven't done research on them as i don't have the $$$ to spend on one.

what i would like to see is a 308 upper, semi auto, uses common mags, and it feeds from the left and ejects on the bottom.

 

yes your AK round 7.62x39 on an AR15 lower.

 

This.

Honestly its not like lubing your rifle is expensive...

Go to Walmart/dicks/academy/bass pro/cabelas/etc and get a $3 bottle of hoppes #9 and put a couple drop on the spots that will encounter friction. Not that hard.

Your not gonna get awarded any extra tacticool points for not lubing your gun because some brochure in a gun shop says "oil free"

Logic says that no matter what two pieces of anything rub against each other they will get worn down. I don't care if its, plasti derp, or ceramic coating. It will wear down. Gun oil keeps this from happening at a much slower rate.

 

magazines are the failing point on this for an AR build. AR mags dont really have much curve to them where the AK mags do. The 7.62x39 really needs a more curved mag to feed properly.

 

Ok. Then I suppose ill go the .22lr route.. main concerns would be proper bcg, barrrl and magd correct? Anything else??

 

Aaron is going that route...

 

yup, got a piston 7.62x39 upper. upper and lower should be finished by this weekend, along with my home-built AK. Mags do seem to be the problem, the bullets get snagged pretty easily in the 10 rounder POS that I have, but I have a 10/30 that feeds fine. Rock River Arms has a AR-15 that takes AK mags:

Ive read that some people where able to make a franken mag out of an AK and AR mag by cutting and welding the two together

 

that's what my one mag that works is pretty much. The top portion that fits in the AR magwell is an AR mag, but the portion of the mag past the magwell is an AK mag. It isnt welded together though.

 

These guys also make modular lower receivers that allow you to interchange magwells so you can use AR and AK mags on your AR:
