AR-15 BS Thread

Anybody use the Nordic Components Dedicated 22 upper? It looks pretty sweet and has a stainless barrel.

 

SLR. I paid extra for a "toolless" version which broke off after 10 rds. SLR said too bad, they don't make parts for It anymore so I converted it to Allen wrench adjuster. It fused in it's current positon and the Allen wrench adjuster is now stripped. junk.

 

They build some very nice stuff...

 

Best upper I've found. They have a short barrel version too which I think I want if I build one.

 

I almost went with there AR-9 carbine but went with Sig MPX Carbine

 

Anyone know of a budget alternative to this flashlight mount?

well.. I suppose that's better than the "it's protecting your life, don't cheap out on parts" comments I was expecting

 

Here’s my 6.5 creedmore build. All I need is a new scope for it..

 

Anybody know of a good shop that does cerakoting in Southern California.

 

Use cerakotes locator. They’ll point you in the right direction. What are you looking to have done?

 

I want to have the rail,lower, and upper painted either in some kind of campoflauge. Republic rifle in Laguna Beach has some cool work. I just don’t have the talent to do it myself with duracoat.

 

It’s not hard. Duracoat is really easy to work with. Just buy the stencils and do it! Cerakote is a bit harder as it takes more prep work and doesn’t stick to itself like duracoat does.

 

Question, does the forward assist do anything on a 22lr conversion? I'm assuming no, but I've never used a 22lr AR.

Like on this CMMG:

 

I think it depends if the bolt has the serrations or not. If it does the yes, FA works the same.

Did you see the Spinta just release a new 9mm bolt with serrations on it for FA

 

I didn't. Going to their website now to see.

 

If you have to jam a 9mm or 22LR round into chamber, you shouldn't be shooting that particular round....

 

True but still pointing out the fact they added a new bolt that had it

 

So 22lr does have forward assist then or is that just that CMMG isn't using a slick slide upper?

Finding a dedicated 22lb full upper I want is kinda a PITA. Nordic Components is the only one I found with a stainless barrel and of course they're sold out.
