AR-15 BS Thread

Been raining for two days, so no range time for me. Did a dry run in my AR9 with some dummy rounds today for something to do. Shes feeding and eje

You can cancel your bid on eBay.

 

Thanks. I did not know that. You just saved me $500 possibly.

 

Lol it dropped to $410 after I canceled my bid and is now at $510. Guess I could have saved the trouble but better safe than sorry. Thanks again though.

 

This is off topic but I recently listed a nice AR for sale on armslist for a dirt cheap price, much cheaper than “custom” AR’s I saw on there priced way higher (with NC Star optics, Chinese gun show accessories, etc). So cheap I was actually losing over half of the price I originally paid for it. Not a single hit on it. From the looks of it, the AR market has sort of tanked due to there being no scare, etc.

 

So I expect to see you with this setup in a couple weeks!.............lol
watch

 

Ive told a couple friends who wanted to sell not to. If you have room to store it just lube it and toss it in the safe. Prices are just to cheap right now on factory options. No guarantee that prices will go back up but its sort of like the stock market...right now it is low and nobody knows what the future will hold but statistically it has always gone up in the long run

 

Hold it until the next panic buy, the political environment is gun friendly at the moment but the next election could change that.

 

Cold as heck today. Took the AR9 out for the first time. Performed flawlessly!

 

Forgot to mention, I used ASC mags, all three I had worked, incase you're looking for Colt style mags.

 

If you've never tried the 45 degree slanted cheek well, you will love it over the traditional stocks.

 

Its so much more comfortable!

 

I have some of their accessories and it's on par with magpul stuff as far as construction (fiber reinforced polymer), but the key to mags is the followers. I've seen a lot of guys get hex mags or promags and have failures or spotty reliability at best. Other guys run them with no problem, so go figure. At $8, I'd wait for PSA to have their sales later this week and pick up Pmags for $10 each (possibly cheaper). Just my $.02

 

All that looks real nice!!, But I would be real careful with that "meat rub" I would hate for you to get a rash

 

Anyone familiar with gas block risers? I have an AR pistol with a Rock River upper and the gas block has a short pic rail on it that sits below the plane of the other pic rail. I've had a set of Magpul Pro flip-up sights for awhile but need to get a riser for them to be useful. Are those risers a standard height or do I need to find one specific to the RR upper that I have?

 

.

 

You would need to measure how much of a rise you need. i want to say some are 1/2" and some are 3/8". Then you just buy a riser in that height. If you have a good gun store around might call and see if they carry the risers then just take the upper with you and have them help ya out.

The magpul pro should be fine since they are steel. Just dont put any plastic sights (like the regular magpul flip up) on the gas block or riser.

 

Yup, they'll melt which is why I bought the metal ones. Twice as much, but necessary for what I was planning for them.

Thanks, I'll have to measure and see which riser height I need. I'm still fairly new to all this and my other ARs either have the standard A1 type front sight or I built it so that it was flat all the way across the top.

 

Looks sweet!

 

Sounds like my kinda day. Hopefully it's nice this week. Currently beautiful in Michigan right now. Fall days are my favorite days. I couldn't help but go to the range yesterday as soon as I looked out my window.

I went on Sunday and it was bitter cold, but to master one's self you must master you're environment and zombies don't care if it's cold out LOL! Really gonna have to focus on functional cold weather gear. I find Underarmor to be pretty effective on colder days, but it's my hands that get effected the worse. Man do I like this AR9 though. The fact that it performed flawlessly on a bitter cold windy day it's first run has really given me a lot of love for the AR platform. Before that I've always used AKs. Already working on AR build number two. I may have to try one of those LaRue stocks you got there. Looks really solid.

 

Sounds like you have a great day planned for Friday.
