AR-15 BS Thread

Kid E lives where no firearm owner should live, and was late to the party lol, but I appreciate the comment a lot. I think we all agree Cali is no place for any of us to be. It's hell. I just thought I would start a mindful conversation and we somehow kept it together without getting banned or locking the thread which is a first for me

 

Anyone purchased or used a JBO gas block? This one specifically? https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/JB...ock_750_Black_p/jb-adjustablegasblock-750.htm
Probably going to purchase tomorrow for my SBR, it has great reviews. The only thing I guess I would do is buy an extra long Allen key so I can easily adjust it without taking off my hand guard.

 

Man I wanna build an ar10

 

always been a red dot guy, but been seeing how guys have scopes of some sort on ar15s that are like 14.5 and under. What are they using

 

also, love my faxon barrel but curious whats another solid company for the ar Im building currently?

 

Depends on the role of the rifle and budget.
Vortex strike eagle is a 1-6 with an illuminated reticle
Primary arms has both a 1-6 and 1-8 with illuminated reticle.

 

thats it! Like a 3 gun scope huh

 

Yeah, I'm considering a 1-6 for my 11.5" upper because it's nice to have the magnification as well as being able to shoot both eyes open up to ~3x and the illuminated reticle helps with faster/closer shooting.

 

thinking the same, might put it on my 14.5 or the 16" Im making. Looking at the PA for $289

 

Dude what the hell is up with that? Your not aloud to have a pistol grip in CA so in NY you can't have any grip?! I atleast bought a M&p 15 with a thordson stock so I can atleast wrap my thumb around it

 

I have a 4x32 ACOG on my 14.5. I seem to be in the minority in that I don't like long eye relief optics and the ACOG allows me to keep my stock short and thus provides for a more compact all around setup. If you want the same ergos with a variable optic, you have to push it way forward.

 

Can only have one of the following options: pistol grip, removable mag, or a collapsible stock. I opted for a removable mag and im replacing the stock with a magpul fix moe stock. I bought this right after all the garbage hit the fan so there wasn't any options besides this. It's not too bad after you shoot it awhile

 

Pics??

 

I almost whent for a LwRc that was pretty much a normal AR but you just opened the lower and upper to release the mag, still had a pistol grip adjustable stock just 500$ extra from what I paid,

I just don't know, I mean when people tell me my gun looks weird I don't see it but that think just looks funky

 

Here you go. The 4x32 ACOG gives you about a 2" eye relief, so it allows you to snug the rifle up pretty close to your body. The short eye relief is not for everyone, but if you can get used to it and learn to appreciate its advantages, it's pretty sweet.

 

Stupid cumo and NYC, Ive gotten used to it pretty good

 

Just pulled the spring out to see whats going on and everything beyond the pencil looks like a solid slug rammed in there. Im really lost, wanted to shorten the pull a bit but the magpul moe stock extends it. Thing i may just buy a carbine buffer tube to replace to huge thing. Anyone have any ideas as to why they would do this?

 

Yeah, carbine tube for sure. It's your only option to shorten it at all. That stock tube still blows my mind. I can't believe they wouldn't have just pinned the stock on a standard tube. Bizarre.

 

This. I have a 1-4x PST on a 8.5" 300 BLK. All depends on the intended use. 1-4 or 1-6x is also a great optic for a general do-everything build as well.

 

I run a 1-6. Tried it for the first time at 400 yards and it isn't an issue. 600 could be easy with practice I got a few hits with 55 grain Nevada ammunition.
