ar 15

Hello, everyone! I am a new member here (already posted to the new member thread to introduce myself), but I just wanted to post to get anyone's experiences with specific brands of scopes. I started my AR build with Vortex Sparc AR Red Dot and Vortex Mini 3X Magnifier. Initially, I actually...

I have started reloading 223 and 556 recently and I have been having issues with the primers I use small rifle primers but when I push them into the casing using the priming tool they do not sit flush and if I can push them in far enough to be flush the crinkle inside the primer pocket other...

Hi all, I am new to reloading. I have been taking my time doing a lot of reading and planning. Last weekend I did some testing of 4 different loads. All loads were identical except I used 3 different types of brass and the 4th load I tested for any differences from my case length being 1.750...

Obviously, the two most popular cartridges for the AR-15 (we'll leave the AR-10 out of this particular discussion) are 5.57/.223 and less so 300 Blackout. But, as we all know, there are many, many other calibers one can build/buy an AR chambered in. Out of: 5.56/.223, 300 Blackout, 7.62x39...

Hey all, I’ve been thinking about buying my first AR. I’m not too sure if I can just buy the ones I’ve been looking at, especially in New York I don’t know too much about the AR requirements and laws. Anyone have a good knowledge of this? I was looking at a couple reliable starter ones such as...

So lately ive been working on an ar build. I have a lower from Mag Tactical (ts magnesium alloy) and i was planning on building a decent but low budget ar 15, if anything, to get familiar with the platform, companies and style. My local mom and pop gun shop sells an anderson lower parts kit and...

So i just got an ar lower from mag tactical. I had mistaken the company for aero precision and ended up with that instead. Now i know the old term a lower is a lower is a lower but i just need some confirmation on the validity of the kower and quality of the company. Are they as good as any...

I'm know it's been done to death but I'd like to hear different opinions on this issue. Which would you prefer as your HD go to? Trying to decide what's best in an approx 1500 sq ft home that's in a highly populated area.

I'm looking to build an AR over the next few months, I haven't nailed down all the specifics of what I want but I have a couple of ideas A.) I want a carbine length and B.) I'd like a side charger, I've never cared for the T-handle. Nobody I know has any experience with side chargers so what do...

So here’s the deal, I’m a resident of NYC but I have a vacation home in Florida. Anytime I go to Florida I’d go with my friends to the range and use their guns. However I was wondering if I could purchase my own rifle(an AR-15) in Florida. Is this possible with me having NY ID? I’ve read that...

Hello everyone, I was recently researching on the topic of the differences between M16 and AR-15 general receiver parts, and while I have found out that M16 bolt carrier groups differ from AR-15 ones, I could not find any info on the difference of the bolt-head, maybe someone here knows. So...

I recently put together an AR using a PSA 22lr upper on a generic lower. However, I still don't have any magazines. On PSA's site, they say to use Mad Dog magazines. When I go to Mad Dog I see many different types of magazines. Further, nearly all of them say that they are incompatible with...

I purchased a new DPMS Oracle AR-15 flat top. Ordered the iron sights and now am real frustrated trying to sight it in. Vertical is fine. However with the rear sight dialed all the way to the left I am still shooting 3 inches to the right at 50 yds. I suspect that it is a problem with the...

I recently got my tax return and like most everyone else on here I plan on putting some of it back into my firearms. Im pretty much dead set on an Aero Precision forend, however I have a WW-15 flat top from Windham Weoponry, but from my measurements the forend is 6.5". I have not been able to...

Okay, I’ve been playing around with 16” rifles too much, and if you saw my previous post I’m looking to buy a 20-24” barrel for my next build to achieve superb accuracy out to maybe 5-600 yards, and use it as an occasional varmint gun as well. I’ve NEVER owned a rifle with a scope, so I’m aware...

I recently bought a Ruger Ar556 MPR in .223 and absolutely love it. However, I would like to upgrade and get another upper for it dedicated to deer hunting. I almost never have a shot over 150 yards and usually hunt in thick areas. I mostly am looking for something to handle shooting into light...

I'd like an AR-15 rifle. Many reasons, but I like the performance of 5.56 out a 14-16 inch barrel, and 300 BLK out of a 7-11 inch barrel. Would it be viable to build a AR-15 as a pistol in 300 BLK with a 10.5 inch barrel and pistol brace, and also run a 14.5 inch threaded barrel with a removable...

I'm a big fan of the straight AR magazines, I feel that they're a lot less cumbersome to carry, easier to shoot prone, and maneuver the gun with. Twenty rounds is a good amount, but why settle for less when in the past 25 round mags were the original magazines that were planned to be used in the...
