AR-15 BS Thread

Anyone using liner comps or flash cans on their SBR's? Looking to direct some blast down range instead of to the sides. Silencer is not in my budget at the moment

 

I hear people using kak cans have good luck but I also hear they are stupid loud

Save your pennies and get a silencer. All the cool kids are doing it.

Also Capital Armory does payment plans on cans fyi.

 

One of us. One of us.

 

Try the Noveske Flaming Pig:

I want a suppressor on an SBR. Both illegal in IL. Stay out for your own good. I've been considering a pistol build with a bunch of oil filters laying around, but I'm not far enough in the sticks for that kind of shenanigans.

 

CA question. Can’t use a standard flash hider, any suggestions on a good muzzle break or comp. which is the better route?

 

I've shot a 10.5 with a Cobratec Screaming Banshee, which lookes like a cheap version of the flaming pig for a fraction of the cost. I was wondering if the price difference was really worth it.

 

I know I am getting on everyone's nerves asking so many newbie questions or just general comments, but what was everyone's main purpose for buying an AR-15? I'm really wanting to buy one even before all this talk about banning them but even more so b/c if it passes I won't have the opportunity of owning one.

 

I can chamber it in everything from .50BMG to .22lr with one "Gun". And I plan on it.

 

Not being confrontational but I don’t “need” a reason to exercise a right and neither do you. I mainly use mine for shooting competition but it fills many roles. Home protection, pest control, etc.

 

I have my for recreational purposes, primarily.

My wife bought one as an investment, she understands they don't decrease in value.
What she doesn't know is I'll never allow it to be sold.

 

I always use the investment argument. But if it was time to sell I’d say “they’re family”.

 

Because I wanted one, the manual of arms is stupid simple, the sights and ergonomics are far superior to the AK platform, it’s modularity is awesome, and it’s very reliable.
Not to mention I can SBR a single AR lower and have multiple short uppers.

 

I pulled the trigger hehe on my 1st AR and have it in my hot little hands. Bushnell RDS but no riser till tomorrow, damn you UPS smartpost. UPS guy was already here today. I have verified it will go bang. It was $556 and now out of stock. It's a 5.56, coincidence? I think it was a sign. I put a lot of rounds downrange with a M16 in the 70s.

If I get one, I will definitely have questions as to what will fit and how do I put attachments on it. Maybe if I had one in front of me I could see how it all works. I've been doing a lot of research the last couple of months.

 

one option to get into your first one real cheap, is the PSA freedom AR kit. its on daily deal for $319. all you need to add is a stripped lower (~$50), then put it all together.

 

Don't remember if/when I ever posted pictures of it. I've had it together for a year or so now. Shoots like a dream.

I looked at PSA website and I see one with a stainless steel barrel and one that's not. The barrel will be see, correct? If so, I would probably go with the black barrel but I see the stainless kit has more "reviews"

 

I would ask for Regular UPS ground shipping. With sure post/smart post you are paying and waiting 1-2 days more for the post office to complete the final mile delivery.
