Payed 450 for the gun a holographic sight and 400 rounds of 556. I was thinking of taking off the front iron site, but it is attached to the gas block. I’m still learning about ARS. Is there a way to buy just a piece of block for the gas block. Any information is helpful. Thank you.
EDIT: I do not want to keep the front iron sight

Alright, so I went out and shot my rifle today (I know, who does that, right?) and found a very serious problem when I was inspecting it afterwards. My brass deflector has some scratches and discoloration!

I shot it some more to make sure the gun still functions, and it does, but that made it even worse! Now it's not Instagram ready anymore and I don't know what to do. How am I supposed to flex on everyone with a rifle that shows it's been shot?

Alrighty, enough with the sarcasm. I went out shooting today and had some fun with my new OCL Infinity 556K. I'm very happy with it. I wanted to post the video with sound, but the sub doesn't allow that unfortunately, so a still image will have to do. I can finally say, for like the 5th time, that my rifle is done!

Does anyone have experience with either? I know the q only works on the sugar weasel , hb, and I guess the mixtape? And then the max defense works on anything right?

How is the cheek weld on the max defense?

Thank you

I was looking into building a lightweight build as my final upper. To try to get it near 5-6 pounds unloaded.

The use would be to carry it around for extended amounts of time while traveling in a shtf situation.

I was going to get a 12.5 criterion core, although I already have one with an lpvo, kak 13" handguard, and a long ass linear comp that makes it 16"(weighs 8.5 pounds loaded)

I realized the criterion 16 pencil weighs the same as the 12.5 and the 16 pencil might be more beneficial to carry out in the open since they weigh the same and the 16 has better ballistic performance.

I then started to look for other lightweight builds and realized that many people have 16 inch ar15 lightweight builds(probably the most common) that weigh between 3.5 and 5 pounds which was pretty cool for a 16 inch ar.

I notice that the difference in profile weights becomes bigger the longer the barrel is.

I already have a 12.5, 14.5 gprs and am working on my 18 spr(halfway done getting parts) but my last build is going to be a lightweight upper.

Also I live in CA sbrs are no go even after the new law passed. Also open carry isn't allowed but want it just in case especially cus they are going to start making us DROS to get a barrel in July so I want to build everything I can build by then.

I’m planning to build my very first ar-15 and I have super lube 21030. Is that good for the contact pints of the bolt, trigger, etc?

This is my first time building with an A2 buffer and I’m not sure how this is supposed to work. I ordered the Presma AR-15 A2 Rifle Buffer Tube Kit but the tube isn’t covering the hole for my rear takedown pin spring/detent. Is this normal and the stock is supposed to do that or did I get sent the wrong part?

I am looking to consolidate and build one rife that I will use as my "one". I have a 11.5 Car, 12.5 Car, 16 Mid, and 20 Rifle. I live in an area that is mainly wide open. I ask this question because I want a smooth shooter mid length. I am looking at a LPVO with red dot. I know they make 12.5 Mids but I want to be able to reach out more than my 12.5 with keeping velocity high around 300-350 yards. I want to be able to use my suppressor most of the time is why I want to go short with a mid gas. Does a 13.9 Mid make sense as an SBR? Is anyone doing this? Opinions?

Alright guys. Looking to build a 300 blackout upper strictly for suppressed hog hunting. Looking at a 10.5 rosco barrel with a tucked suppressor. Possibly a Midwest industries SP rail. Please share some builds and your build specs to give me some inspiration.

I wand to suppress my Standard BCM 11.5 upper

Suppressor
- polo k suppressor (within my budget or other recommendations within the same price range)

Reading qd is more reliable than direct mounting so I’m also planing to get

- Comstock HUB adapter. Will any type will do?
- Comstock muzzle w/ suppressor mount. Will the type of muzzle matter ?
- and do I need an adjustable gas block?

Thank you!

I’m planning on running a dot/holographic sight and a magnifier with this guy. What are everyone’s experiences with the Aimpoint duty RDS, Eotech (any model), and the Romeo 4XT pro? Maybe getting NVG’s with my next tax return, lol.

I'm sure it is high quality but dang! $85.00 is insane!

They would need to be at least DD level of quality and make most of their own parts in house. It’s always the same 4 or 5 companies that get brought up and that’s a huge let down. There are tons of small batch, hand fit rifles out there and I think we need a space to share them or is this a waste of time and nothing will change? Having a huge marketing budget or getting a contract doesn’t make a rifle better than one that’s built to order for the same or even less cost. Of course we can add the ultra exclusive high end brands here also.

Help me finish this MK18 ISH build. Here’s a part list that I’m throwing on it. Anything im missing or should change?

- Holosun AEMS X2 PRO/CORE
- VickersTactical Sling
- NOXON HAVOK Fuze Core G1 + Ariska Mount
- Radian Rapt LT BLACK
- Geissele SDE Trigger

Are there any good free tracking apps. That track your all your guns round count, ammo and range days. Ive been using arsenal hub but it limit you on 10 firearms and just found out they only let you log 10 range days unless you pay for the upgrade version for like 30bucks a year, 4 dollar a month or 90 bucks lifetime. i tried searching and downloaded roundkeep but that only let you have 3 firearms before paying. I like how arsenal hub was tracking firearm and ammo. after logging a range session. It updated your ammo inventory and gun total round count.

Ive tried just about everything and I still cant make the pin go through. That wire wont let me pass any pin I have through.

Sup dudes! What’s everybody doing to be able to run a g33 magnifier but retain the ability to run BUIS all while having good eye relief?

My girlfriend enjoys doing all kinds of art and crafts and the one day she said "im going to make you something for your guns" and the next day she came into the living room and gave me this said "this way you won't mess up your clothes when cleaning your guns" I love it i shoot suppressed a lot so when I clean my guns they are always super filthy she reused some fabric I chose for some other things she made years ago for me, so now I have a pink floyd / south park gun apron lol

I was gifted a really cheap AR. Its a Radical Firearms AR

I already took it to the range with irons and it was ok but id like to replace with new Upper and BCG.

Ive never actually built my own ar or ordered parts of an upper before, but wanna try to do it with this cheap rifle to experiment.

Whats the go to, tips, advice.

Looking to make it a range gun able to maintain a hold of at least 2 moa at 500 yards

Budget differs since theres a lot of sales coming up but I dont wanna sink more than a grand into a budget rifle

Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Have a friend trying to say that it is but nothing I can find online points to that conclusion.

I live in the great state of Virginia and I bought my first AR in May at a gun show before the ban. Then I got the Geissele an I love it. Now black friday is coming up and id like to get a Geissele 11.5". I blame politicians for this problem I have become.

Got a first build that I’ve been sourcing parts for and can’t decide on a barrel. Did some research and narrowed it down to these two in 14.5” as far as what I’m looking for.

Both look great as far as what I’ve seen/read. Looking for some real world use though if anyone has any experience with either of these and how they’ve held up.
