Firearm BS thread

What did you use to paint it?

 

That looks good

 

What exactly does that mean? If you don't feel like explaining, I'd love a link to a resource explaining it, and what it's replacing. I'm not new to guns, but I'm not knowledgable on the intricacies of them.

 

Thinking of begining an AR15 build now that i live in a free state. Any advice/tips
on starting out?

Sweet, thanks.

 

Start with a good lower and have fun do research on parts and goodies but don't make it a Gucci gun....

Stick with basics and don't over complicate the gun remember it is a defense firearm good sights,red dot, simple rail system.

 

i used a rustolem self etching primer first. On everything. Then used krylon camo. I sprayed the self etching primer directly on after cleaning of course. Then sprayed the krylon onto a sponge and dabbed it over the gun. Turned out pretty well. Ill see how it holds. I thought about putting a flat sealer on it but i kind of like the battle worn look. So i wouldnt mind some wear marks if it happens to acquire some.

Thanks man!

 

You should post it in the rattlecan thread!

Dang, there's a thread for everything! lol

 

Any good lower receiver rec's?

 

You bet! I'm just trying to revive that thread so I can get a good set of photos together to use for reference when I paint mine lol.

 

I think aero M4E1 lowers are the best bang for your buck. Can usually find them on sale somewhere.

I'm a big fan of the M4E1 builder sets. They use some design changes that make them easier to piece together, and offer a matched upper/lower/handguard system that's hard to screw up.

If I was to build one again (and this is the basis for what I'll build next), I'd run a Faxon 16" Pencil barrel, Faxon BCG, A2 flash hider, Aero 12" MLOK Builder set, LaRue MBT-2S trigger, Aero LPK, Magpul MOE grip, Radian Raptor Selector/safety, Geissele Super charging handle or Radian charging handle, Magpul PMAG, Armaspec SCS, and whatever Magpul stock suited my fancy. It's a setup that is dependable, serves as a great base for optics or irons, and most importantly is light enough to be carried anywhere easily, or made only moderately heavy after adding lights/grips/slings/scopes/etc.

Edit: MOE to MLOK

 

Aero for the win! I like some of the Spikes for some of there designs Punisher,Joker etc:I have a couple Noveske chainsaw lowers I usually buy what's on sale from $50-$120 bucks. If you watch Core15.com you can get some amazing complete uppers for $300 on sale I have 3 of there uppers and have never failed or had an issue lifetime warranty....

Yep, I used an Aero M4E1 complete upper for a build, Worked out very nice! I did have to send back one of their pop-up sights but they replaced promptly.

 

Check out the latest from Safailand - the Space Force Blaster Holster.

 

Thanks for the links. I was just looking at the SnapSafe Large Safe last night. I even got the measuring tape out and measured under my bed.

I did look at the Buffalo one also but the reviews are mixed. SnapSafe definitely has better reviews.

Appreciate the info/recommendations
