Official AR 15 Thread

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.

Thats is good, glad to hear your rifle is running well.

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. 

[Bmel17]

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.

[BobW]

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.

Razorback  22 Belt Fed upper. 

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

[Adrenolin]

Does that belt come in .22 lol

[TwistedKarma]

[TwistedKarma]
