AR-15 BS Thread

Don't forget the buffer and buffer spring, easy part to forget when piecing together an order

 

Hers my Colt AR-15A3 (model 6721) with restricted roll mark. It’s a law enforcement trade in rifle.

 

3D printed M-lok vertical grip printed in ABS plastic by a coworker. Will sand, stipple, and give it a coat of Krylon. Not bad for $3 worth of plastic.

 

Yesterday I went to Dunhams Sports where they had the American Eagle XM193 5.56 55gr bullets in the 120 bulk packs on sale for $49.99, which equates to .416 per round. After loading (4) 30 round magazines I have one bullet left over. I couldn't get another round in any of the magazines but I counted as I put them in the magazines. Did I get a freeby? Is this a common thing or did Federal miscount? Also, is that a pretty good deal per round of 5.56?

 

Basic 5.56 rounds can be had for .25-.28cpr. Look on Reddit gundeals.

 

Geez. Any particular brands I should go with or stay away from? What do most of you prefer, 5.56 or .223?

 

So this is interesting. Never heard of this round before. Any of you using it?

 

You building or buying a complete rifle?

 

He's asking about ammo.

 

Oh, then 9mm haha! Only AR I own.

 

I'm planning on buying a complete rifle. I've bought the apples before the cart but alteast when I buy a rifle I will be ready. LOL

 

Its what FN chambers its P90's and 5.7 pistols in. I'd compare it closer to a really hot 22 mag than a venerable rifle cartridge...

 

Built this for $75 yesterday. Mods to come later.....

 

got some parts for sale if your interested.

 

A question for all, what are they talking about when they say a lower has closed ears?

 

Noob here, but I'm pretty sure that refers to when a receiver has an integrated trigger guard with no thin metal flanges (or ears) to break off.

 

Correct, on a closed ear you cant remove the trigger guard because there's no roll pin.

 

OK, now I get what you are saying. Thank you, that was a little better explanation because in the 15 to 25 ars I have touched. I have never seen this or heard of that description and it caught my Curiosity

 

Blem A1 upper from Brownells. Not really sure what the blem is.
