Here's mine, freefloated 20" heavy barrel upper on a Stag lower. I admit the scope is a little big but I got a good deal on it(http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv85/bluehenfirearms/AR15003.jpg)
-
I want one just need to find the money ;D
-
They are so fun to shoot. The recoil is @@@@ near straight back so very little muzzle rise. Only draw back is cost of ammo. I need to start reloading 223 so I can shoot it more.
-
the ar platform is great i have 2 a Bushmaster and the other I built. Its a colt uper woth a 20"barrel a S & W lower and a Bushmaster A2 fixed stock ( I call it my shootnstine).
Also the .223 round is cool to , but if you ever get the chance to shoot the 5.7x28mm that too is a cool round
-
Is it legal to carry an AR-15 or a shotgun in your trunk?
-
Good question, I'm trying to find a shoulder holster for mine. ;D

For your rifle or for your trunk?

Whats the average cost for a AR. I'm not looking for anything fancy.
-
Pre election you could have one for about $800. I sold a Stag arms model 1 for $825 on 10/18/08. If you were to buy one now you would be at the mercy of the seller. Demand has jacked up the price. I have several rifles on order from Stag that I am expecting in 2 months. I have not been informed what the price increase is yet and may not know untill they have shipped. Likely my price for the identical rifle will be at least $950.
-
Are they all spoken for?
-
As of yet they are not. I have 2 model 1's, 2 model 2's and 2 model 2t's that aren't spoken for coming. I will post something when they arrive and give you guys first dibs.
-
@@@@ I wish they were mine!

just installed the bushmaster gas piston on My S&W M&P 15 can't wait to take it to the range and in put it through it paces. i'll put some pics up let you know how it works out
-
Cool keep us up to date.
-
Rabbit
How was it to instal? How lohg did it take?
G.Nut
-
about 45 minutes to install the hardest part is the roll pin in the front sight block because you have to drop a small spring in before you insert the gas piston to prevent stress on the roll pin.
took it to the range in elk neck and put 60rds through it. it recoils a bit more and the 1.5'' eye relief on my ACOG makes me nervous form time to time but i shot about 1.5 grouping at 100yds resting my barrel on a box. not bad at all.
zero carbon on the bolt i am in love with this piston.
-
Sounds very cool. Happy shooting with it.
-
well its going to be a wile. i just had my ACL reconstructed yesterday which means 4 weeks of pain killers and TV BEST SUMMER EVER. I will be at the range with a vengeance afterwords. if your interested i will let you know when my next range trip is you just bring some 223 ammo.
-
Will do.
Take care of that knee.

I cant wait to take her back to the range. Anybody know of a range that i can shoot out to 500 meters i want to put my optics through its paces

Interesting m-16 video http://www.megavideo.com/?v=YH2224WU (http://www.megavideo.com/?v=YH2224WU)

Does anyone know anything about the del-ton rifles? Looks like you can pick one up for about $750-800. I was thinking about picking one up or building a custom one. It seems like there is enough free info online to assist in the assembly. I think it could be a cool project plus it will be nice to how how everything works and goes together in case of problems or if I want to upgrade.
-
I just finished up my AR build... 2 months later.... All mil-spec parts from Bravo Company, Spikes Tactical, Daniel Defense, and Troy..... Easier than you would think to build one. Plus you get to pick all your parts. I can walk you through it...... Let me know if you have any questions, glad to help you out..

Atglen has steel targets out to 500 m. I was shooting clay birds at 500 2 weekends ago with my rra nm a4.

Lots of fun to build, even more fun to shoot! DoubleStar lower, upper, quad rail and buttstock. Magpul BUIS, Grip Pod forend grip. "Cheap" optic.(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/4665/dsc00017mj.jpg)

My M&P15 just got sexier with the addition of a Midwest industries SS-series free float hand guard low profile gas block and Magpul MBUS sights and a vortex red dot sight. i had to remove my gas piston to get the new hand guards on it and convert it back to DI but that's Ok. now i need to build an AR for my ACOG. This is why it's a good idea to be friends with your Wings Combat Arms Instructor he's got the tools and the know-how to help you put you toys together.

If you don't mind me making a suggestion... Try moving your vertical grip further back, only a couple inches off the mag works well. By doing so you not only create a shorter fulcrum and make it a lot faster / easier to come up on target, but in my opinion it feels much more stable / comfortable in a kneeling posture.
-
Nope, I don't mind suggestions at all please keep them coming. The reason I set up this way is because I like to grip all the way to the forward end of the rifle, using the VFG as index wrapping my hand around the rail. It also gives me fast access to the flash light while still holding a forward grip if I need to use the VFG.
Here is an updated picture with optics, flashlight, Suregrip, ...

That's what pressure switches are for.. LOL ;)
Not that you need something else to buy, cause we ALWAYS have too much to buy, LOL, but if you could find a real nice light AFG that might be the best of both worlds. Put the AFG up front since you're really using the VFG kinda like a AFG, then move the VFG back. That way you could use either depending on the situation. ;)
What kind of light is that btw? As much as I hate buying chinese crap, I have to admit that lights are one place where I almost always do. Don't get me wrong, I've got a Surefire 6P and love it. But the fact is, the LEDs in these "American made" brands are usually from china anyway... And the price of the american stuff is just outragous in comparison... I have some chinese lights that honestly blow the american ones away. I've got one with a CREE XM-L T6 emitter that runs 750 lumens on a nominal voltage. It makes my 6P duck and run for cover. LOL. Another one I have is 1600 lumen... The 750 I think I paid $30 shipped (and that included the picatinny rail mount, pressure switch, batteries, etc. and $60 shipped for the 1600 one (also included mount, pressure switch, batteries, and even a charger.)
The 750 lights up my ENTIRE backyard brighter than broad daylight... The 1600 looks like a friggin army surplus spotlight at night. And it's in the same size package as the 6P. You can see the beam hundreds if not thousands of feet in the air. The strobe on it is crazy... If anyone ever broke in my house and I lit them up with the strobe I wouldn't even have to shoot, it would probably induce an instant seizure followed by a couple of days of blindness... LMAO...
Sorry to go off on a tangent... ;)

so where did you get these lights? Make and model please.....

so where did you get these lights? Make and model please.....
Straight from China... ;) Ebay... Let me do a quick search...
This is like the 1600 I got... In fact, this might be the same seller I got mine from...
Clicky Clicky (http://cgi.ebay.com/RCT6-6x-CREE-Q5-LED-Torch-Flashlight-18650-CHARGER-/260538228963)
This "Ultrafire" is the 750 I have... Pretty sure I didn't get it from this seller, but it's the same light...
Clicky Clicky (http://cgi.ebay.com/UltraFire-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-Flashlight-Mount-Switch-Set-/150623076576)
Basically if you're looking for an LED, CREE makes in my opinion the best emitters out there, and a lot of the american brands use the CREE emitters for just that reason. So an Ebay search for CREE will turn up a TON of lights in just about any brightness/price range including or excluding just about any accessories you want...
If you're looking for non-LED, then a search for Xenon flashlight or something similar will get you those results...
.... and if you really just want to instantly melt someone in your ray gun, you can get this 2800 lumen model... LMFAO!

Ohh, and by the way... was talking to a friend today about lights after this came up and he reminded me of something... http://www.lighthound.com/ (http://www.lighthound.com/) is a great distributor of these types of lights. They have decent prices and they keep stock so shipping doesn't take as long... A lot of guys prefer buying a host they like, then a drop in the like, switch they like, etc... You can certainly do that from Ebay, but a place like lighthound makes it a bit easier...

Hey guys, sorry I've been away for awhile. I have a Bushmaster with heavy barrel and swear by Bushmaster. But I am considering building myself a whole new AR from stratch, just to do it. I also know two business owners in Cecil County who want me to help them with their first AR15. I know there are some very good quality high end AR parts kits out there, but we are trying to get theirs done for about $650-800. I told them we can upgrade it later. It's not about having the latest and greatest thing, it's about just getting one and learning to shoot the @@@@ thing right. So far I've looked at Model1Sales.com, Del-ton, J&T Distributing, and Rock River Arms for parts kits. Rock River might be a bit pricey for them although I know they are good to go. Do does anyone have anything to say about the other three or have another website they can suggest? Keep in mind the price range. Thanks.
-
I would take a PSA ( http://palmettostatearmory.com/ ) over all the ones you mentioned above.
-
Any particular reason?
-
Any particular reason?
PSA is millspec, HPT and MPI tested parts (bolt), FN barrel for the same price as the ones you mentioned above.
-
Some times it is cheeper to start with an inexpensive base gun and work up. I picked up a RRA a4 mid length with match trigers, ergo grips, mag, case for 625 delivered last fall (fall sale) and striped it down and rebuilt it. I do not see it on the website any more but some of the operator series are still on sale. Last I checked they started at 850 delivered. Its hard (but not impossible) to build a gun from scratch for less than 625. If you start with a rock river gun be prepared to break a lot of locktite. Definitely look into a mid length. During my last build I noticed that you can buy a complete upper and complete lower for less than a complete rifle made from the same upper and lower. I was told that there is a tax on complete rifles but not on parts. Not sure if that is true but it might save you some cash if looking to assemble rather than build.
-
Hey thanks to both of you. I looked at PSA, and the feces looks worth the extra green for mil-spec parts. I think most of us would agree that there are too many sub-standard AR15s on the market. I swear by my Bushmaster as I got one back when they were still manufactured in Windham, Maine. Would you suggest I stay away from J&T, Del-ton, and Model1Sales?

I can't say one way or another since I don't have experience with these rifles, however from reading and researching I see many of these manufacturers cut corners to reduce costs. I personally choose to stay with companies like DD, BCM, PSA.
-
Enlighten me as to BCM is? I think DD is Daniel Defense right? (I bet I'll feel brilliant when you give me the answer)

I have a question about my new Stag model 8 (piston).
I took it to the range for the first time a couple weeks ago. I shot some PMC Bronze 223 55gr ball. They wouldn't eject. The extractor ripped the rims right off the case. Also, there appeared to be stress marks around the circumference of the case for most of the length of the case. I know PMC brass is soft from reloading PMC handgun cases, but is it really too soft to shoot in an AR?
On the advice of Bob at X-Ring and the nice folks at Stag, I tried some Remington 223. No problem with extraction, but still saw the "stress marks" around the cases. I wouldn't want to reload these cases and would probably throw them out.
I could use some expert advice here. Is there a problem with this rifle, or is it normal?
Thanks in advance for any and all opinions.
-
I don't have experience with piston, but certainly there is something wrong with your rifle. It could be many things - buffer weight, rough chamber, not enough gas...I would contact the manufacturer and have them deal with it.
-
Hey Condition 1, I apprecaite your help. I've done some research on PSA, and they look and sound great. Mil-spec parts for about the price of cheap feces. I think I'll chuck the Del-ton, Model1Sales, and J&T idea.

I am sure you will not regret. Also, sometimes a company releases a lemon, all companies do, and people have reported excellent support from their CS. I have their lower and the LPK had the magazine release button missing, I sent them an email and they had one on the mail for me next day.
-
I think when I help my two busniess owner friends in Elkton build theirs I'll suggest this. Looking over the quality for the price, I've found nothing to beat it except maybe Rock River Arms. I know they are good.
-
Why do you think RRA is better?
I think when I help my two busniess owner friends in Elkton build theirs I'll suggest this. Looking over the quality for the price, I've found nothing to beat it except maybe Rock River Arms. I know they are good. One of the guys I am helping build for is the husband of a local Circuit Court Judge. The officers want them to be armed well.
-
It isn't that I think it's better, I just have used them in the past, and know many people who swear by them. They have an established reputation that many of these other parts kits do not have. But I think I'm going to give PSA a shot.
-
I bought one of those Cree XM-L T6 LED flashlights awhile back on eBay for $18. The title described it as 1600 lumens, but it listed 400 lumens in the write-up. While its a nice, bright flashlight, it is definitely not as bright as my Streamlight Stinger DS LED HP 200 lumen flashlight, which cost $110 at Optics Planet. Maybe not a fair comparison, considering the price. I doubt there is any regulation on the claims of the import items on eBay.
-
Lumspond, that is funny - the title says 1600, the description says 400, reality is less than 200 lumen.
-
the only downside I really found to those chinese KO's was the batteries. Most aren't compatible with CR123s. But they do throw some light and you can't beat the price for additional extra flashlights.
-
Earlier in this thread I mentioned problems with my new Stag model 8. I just got it back from Stag (8 day turnaround, not bad) with a new barrel and upper. Now that's more like it. I shot about 100 rounds yesterday, no issues. PMC Bronze and Federal XM193. Now I can start spending money on some goodies for it. Where to begin?..................................
-
Did they say what the problem was?

They didn't say, but my best guess was the chamber was oversized. I've never seen such a problem though. X-Ring said they had sent several back in the past few weeks. Mine was the second or third that needed a new barrel. I think they replaced the upper just because the barrels were already attached. I sure works well now though.

Hmmmm.... When did you get your rifle? I only found one small QC issue upon delivery of my Model1 from xring.

Does anyone know if 30 round mag rebuild kits are legal in Delaware? I have some old mags that need springs a followers and want to stock up before any ban.
-
Currently there is no law I have seen that bans 30 round rebuilds or 30 round mags. But that might be changing, usually they are grandfathered in with new laws, but who knows until we see actual legislation.

I started with a M&P 15 22. I had always wanted an assault rifle and at under five hundred dollars for one that shoots 22 ammo, it seemed like a no brainer.

This was never meant to be a target gun, but it is a whole lot of cheap fun. My grandson has shot it twice and he thinks it is his!
Problem is that it made me want a "real" AR. I decided that if I wanted it I had better get it while the getting was good. Turned out to be a wise decision!
So I did some research and decided that for the bang for the buck, the RRA ATH was for me. Ready to shoot right out of the box!

This gun is a "Tack Driver"! I have only shot cheap ammo, and now it looks like it may be a while before I can get some.
But patience is a virtue and at least I have the gun and some ammo. I would highly recommend this gun for anyone who is in the market for an AR.
-
Both very nice. I have a DoubleStar purchased last year and its nice. With about 800 rounds through it I haven't had a single failure. You should checkout the SlideFire stocks for them also as its a huge grin for a week afterwards.
Just purchased a handful of the SlideFire stocks, magazines and 80% AR15 and an AR10 lowers for projects down the road. Need to gather up all the parts later for them but the important parts now.
I've looked at that M&P 15 22 for a year and think its coming soon.
-
Thanks Adrenolin. I have had my eye on that SlideFire for a while now. I have watched a ton of videos on youtube. It looks like a whole lot of fun!
But every time I want to get it I see a new gun that I want.
So the waiting continues.........
-
If you get a slide, we'll have to range trip.

And yes, I have the imfomos 350 round belt for it.

Lakeside, Belt feds, are all sold out. I dont know the waiting list. Mine had issues, from the rim fire pounding a knick into the chamber. gave me all sorts of trouble. never got it working till just last month after oaks show.

Very cool. All the fun toys. It's the first week of Jan and I've already spent way way too much this year lol.

Awesome gun TwistedKarma!

Now, put this gat hand crank on it, and wooo hooo.. Why pay 350 for a slide?
Gat is $40 plus shipping.. (http://www.firequest.com/media/products/GT125.jpg)
http://www.firequest.com/GT125.html
-
Cool but limited mobility I'd think and certainly not accurate moving around. Now make it battery powered and work simply by pressing a button or pressure switch just above/below the mag release on an ar and you'd have a winner. Are electric powered triggers legal or seen as a class 3 item? Least with the slidefire you can move around, even run, with some practice.
-
Put a electric motor on. And your ip will show from a fed prison
-
Lol yeah that's what I figured. Sweet, fun and cheap gadget for a stationary rifle.

16" gov't barrel
12" Omega X Rail
SSA Trigger
thoughts on optics yet? I would go for an Aimpoint micro....keep it light.
-
Aimpoint 90% sure. Promised myself to become a great shot with the irons before I would get a fancy scope :)

That is funny, I promised myself that too...second trip to the range I got the red dot lol.

Haha just purchased a savage mkii bv and a Nikon prostaff 3-9x40 for it to keep my range bill down shooting 22 all day rather than 223/5.56 haha so gun funds a little low :) which will help me resist the temptation for a little!

Aimpoint H1 mounted on DD mount on my custom built DD.

Great looking rifle, but then I am partisan.

Very nice looking rifles all. It is a shame the price went up so much. I bought my optic ready M&P15 just over $900, now with the election results and the renewed attack on our guns It seems hard to find them under $1,500

Excellent picture and a beautiful firearm. Is that correct? How about a fine piece of metal architecture.

I just finished this AR 15/22 ;D
I'll be looking for a Red Dot unless I keep the Scope on it but then I'll loose the fixed sites :( ::)

Joep19934, I like your AR, and the .22 version. What brand of 50mm scope is that on the 22? Sweet.

Thank you :)
The Scope is a Tasco 3-9x50 - Wally World Special Under $40
I like it on there but I want to be able to have fixed sights on the rifle.
I took off the scope and put a 42mm Barska Red Dot on it and kept the fixed sights on as well.
I may put the Tasco back on and call it done :)

Obama and his anti-gunners at it again:

Yet another star for the Obama administration and his status as the Guns & Ammo Salesman of the Decade. There's been no M855 available online since late last week but a few places still had XM855 as of Tuesday. I haven't checked since but doubt it'll last much longer. Of course local sites (craigslist) and online auction houses (gunbroker) have it listed for 2-3 times the regular price now.

We need to stop giving in to these infringements. It's not the executive branch's role to make laws or judge how to apply laws which is what the ATF is doing, and we all know this is not about safety

I finally got around to building my Range Ghost Gun ;D
Its all together now I just need some camo on it :) ----- :o
I used one of Moriarti Arms stripped uppers with a bunch of misc parts bought here and there.
It has an 18'' barrel 1.7 twist, 16.5'' Free Float handrail, 3'' inch muzzle break, 80% Poly Lower ( naked FDE lower ) and a 4lb Trigger :)
I had fun milling out the Lower it was my 1st attempt at something like this so I went Polymer. ::)
The included jig you get was ok and the bits and end mill were plenty sharp to remove the material.
I'm not sure yet what scope I want to use yet but would like to get something to make real long shots. ???
I have cheapy Aim Sports 4x32 scope I may use for now :-\
I'm off tomorrow and was thinking about going to break it in at the Range ;D

I have a Ruger AR-556 with the standard handguards. Are there frontgrips/foregrips that attach to this style of handguard or will the handguards need to be replaced first? Thanks for any help.

You'll need to replace the stock handguards first as they don't include any rails.

What to build next????
I built an AR15 lower with std rifle length Magpul stock, put a PSA upper on it, 18" 223 Wylde barrel free float, and Nikon 3-9 on top. Fun to shoot. Haven't played beyond 200 yds yet. Already have a Ruger AR556 w std iron sights. So I have another AR15 lower I'm working on, but not sure what to do with it. 223 pistol length? Different caliber rifle like 300 blackout? 65 Grendel? Maybe a pistol caliber carbine as a partner for some hand guns I have? My wallet says build for a caliber I already have rather than stocking a new caliber, but I'm open for interesting suggestions. Any ideas out there based on personal experience?

We will be acquiring an AR-15 on friday from my step son. he's moving to colorado and can not bring it with him. not sure of the model but it's made by diamondback. once we get our hands on it i'll take pictures and post them. i want to find out as much as i can about it.
