AR-15 BS Thread

I believe RRA has them, I know they used to.

 

I actually found that Magpul has fixed stocks that fit over carbine tubes as well, so now I'm kinda stuck again on going A1 or fixed carbine.

 

Does it have to be a A1 or is the A2 too long? I just finished up a build and went back to an A2, and could not be happier with the results. Although the buffer spring really twangs when shooting suppressed, so I just added this stealth buffer spring, but i haven't tried it out yet.

I got my A2 stock here, they have both the UTG and RRA.

I really like my Magpul MOE stock.
Even the fixed version is nice.

Definitely get the buffer spring twang but that can be fixed as stated above.

 

A2 is just too long, really. A1 is good and shorter is fine. I'm looking to build a general purpose rifle and part of that is the ability for other shooters to use it. The twang doesn't bother me yet thankfully, lol

 

Newest "truck gun" build

 

Looking for a rail bolt that will bolt on factory handguards. Any recommendations or anyone have one for sale?

 

You mean adding a picatinny rail to a regular G.I. type hadngaurd? Not sure if there is an option for that? But you can swap out a G.I. type for something like a magpul one.

But i might not be understanding either..it is early and pre coffee fo rme

 

Yes I thought there maybe a rail that I could just bolt on to existing hand guard.

 

Like these?

Looking at some scopes. Thoughts ?

I'd pass on both...

If your able to wait a while Leupold will probably have a decent sale around Christmas.

 

Pass. If you want decent budget friendly check out Vortex Optics.

 

you get what you pay for.
Cheap af optics will have garbo glass, bad sight pictures and may give you stds


though fwiw primary arms isnt toooooooooooooooooooo bad if even vortex is out of the budget

 

I put 1 of these on my AR: https://www.opticsplanet.com/bushnell-ar-optics-3-12x40-riflescope-w-bdc-reticle-matte-black.html
I was so impressed I bought the same scope in 4x18x40 and put on my Rem700 .223.

 

I've never heard of that brand, and online reviews aren't promising. SWFA, Vortex, and Primary Arms all make decent scopes for not much more money. My money goes towards SWFA.

 

Id pass, those are aimed more at the airsoft crowd. Id go for an entry level vortex, primary arms or bushnell.

Could also look for used and stretch your budget further.

Both good places to watch.

 

I put a 1X6 Monstrum on my most recent build - had spent more than originally intended on the build and decided to start with a scope that was a bit lees expensive with the intent to upgrade at some point. I'm actually satisfied with the scope so far - easy to work with, clear glass, construction is good and it holds its zero. Unless it goes south on me, I will probably keep it.
