AR-15 BS Thread

Hmmmmmmmm....decision ahhhhh..

 

My order of David Tubb Final Finish ammuntion showed up today. If all goes well I'll be picking up my scope Saturday and heading to the range to break in the barrel and site the scope in on my DPMS LR308B.

Can someone throw in insite on barrel break in procedures. Thanks!

 

You'll get arguments both ways. The DPMS manual says that you're supposed to shoot 20 rounds, cleaning between each shot, and then groups of 10 rounds, again cleaning after each group. You're supposed to do that all the way up to 200 rounds.

The David Tubb system uses special bullets with a very fine abrasive to do the same thing.

I figure I'll go the David Tubb route as I've already dump trucked a ton of money into this rifle.

There are some that say, just go shoot it and you'll be fine.

 

lots of good deals on ammo today on gunbot. most of them only last a few minutes.

 

Shoot it.

 

If it is cerakote you technically don't. It is a judgement call on you. I don't and have about 800 rounds threw my AR with no visual wear to the coating.

 

Frog lube and cerakote don't mix. Frog lube penetrates the coating and it will eventually discolor your firearm

Edit: it will take years for this to happen.

 

This.

 

And I've missed them all! Oh, and my order of 308 won't be showing up today due to bad weather in Colorado.

 

Thought i do post this in this thread too just for the sake of completeness but has anyone seen any lower build kits in-stock anywhere? been checking midway, brownells and PSA religiously with no luck. any other places i should be checking? thanks for your input guys!

 

Not cheap by any means, but in stock.

my local sporting goods store had PSA LPKs with magpul grips in stock for $89.99. Granted, they sold out the whole batch in 3 days. You just have to keep your eyes peeled.

 

The best way to get your lower parts is to buy a Ergo spring kit for $6, then find everything else separately on various websites.

 

I ordered a LPK from Rock River. They have them on their site. I ordered it 10 days ago and still waiting for it to ship.

 

did you read this before you ordered?

 

yup i did. it didnt see anything about LPKs and they have them on their site. i just assumed they would be about 2 weeks behind like everyone else.

Also i am in really no rush. This ones for my 6.8 build. Still waiting to find a bolt and barrel.

 

iim still waiting on my ar-15 kit from model 1 sales as well. i ordered it about 2 months ago and still nothing....this whole ban is messing with everyone....i dont even think they are producing more lowers or other parts etc.....shits hard to come by.

 

So... What moron would buy this?!?!
