ar15

I am FINALLY making the move to get night vision. I was hoping you good people could suggest the best options that are available with a budget of about $12,000. I hear some of the options are overpriced for the quality you actually get. I was hoping to get something which is on par with what the...

For those of you 40+, the older, the more I’d like to hear from you, do you have trouble seeing the front sight post on apertures? Assuming a 20” barrel and your choice of a tridium or plain front post. I assume that it would most likely be fine because presbyopia should only affect at a...

After two years I’m still going through stuff and unpacking and reorganizing. I came across some magazines I had picked up while in the Marines and packed away a couple of moves ago. I have one Colt, a few pre-ban Okays, and some banned era ones. From what I have read, it looks like some of...

I have a question I feel like I should already know the answer to but have never thought to ask before: how much do you bump the shoulder when resizing brass for an ar15, or is that even a valid concept in a gas gun (or is the case being ejected “too soon” for this concept to work)? Here’s the...

I built a 12.5" AR15 in 5.56 NATO as my "main squeeze". It's a legally registered SBR and I love it. Thinking of going to a 13.7" barrel with a soldered/P&W on muzzle device.. but..why? I have an 11.5" XM177 "clone" upper that I really like as well. I don't see 12.5" vs 11.5" being...

I am just getting into .300 Blackout. Looking to find the "best" subsonic/cast bullet mold for the .300 and some data. I know to use my manuals but like all of us I like to compare books and recipes. Whats your favorite .300 Blackout/Cast Projectile? What about jacketed bullets? What...

Oh media, don't ever change with the constantly shifting narratives based on political expediency.

I'm interested in building an AR15. It will be a first but hopefully not a last. I'm acquiring tools and knowledge. I just bought a new Torque wrench today and a Botach Barrel Spline Socket Rod. I'm looking at Armorer's wrenches now and it seems like some are more useful than others. Can anyone...

Finally decided to venture into AR15land and bought a cheap ATI one for starters. After initial cleaning and my usual barrel treatment, the first trip to the range was very enjoyable. This thing is a tack driver!… However, during my second outing the rifle first suddenly began shooting doubles...

So I'm new to building ARs. My coworkers and boyfriend talked me into building one. I just bought the Juggernaut Tactical almost complete lower. Would a Aero Precision M4E1 complete upper work well with this lower? Also what would be a good lower kit to get?

As you may know the Canadian government has just banned a large number of semi automatic rifles, including the AR15, AR10, mini 14, M14 pattern rifles, and a number of others. Canadian gun owners who have these rifles now have two years to decide what to do: refuse to comply with the law, turn...

I'm building a 300aac ar15 that I plan to put a suppressor on it. 9" is the "optimum" barrel length. The question I have is if 6.5" and I add a 3" suppressor, for optimum ballistics, is it now a 9.5" barrel? I think the answer is "no" but someone I thought knew said "yes" since the gasses are...

Hello guys & gals. I've got a co-worker that's saying it's smarter to get a billet upper, as oppsed to a forged upper, because in the off-chance it blows up, a billet upper will "explode" into chunks of metal, rather than shards/slivers of metal. Has anybody ever heard of this? Or has...

Hello guys & gals. Just got my 18” Stainless Steel upper from PSA. All I have at the moment is some 55gr FMJ Wolf I got in bulk a year or so back. I was just wondering if there’s anybody out there of the mindset, “weeeeeell... since it IS Stainless Steel, 1/7 twist, the first couple hundred...

Hello guys & gals... Gents & gentettes! X ) So... I'd like to hear opinions on AR15 setups that would be considered "the most" versatile. A "Do-it-all" AR. Something that could plink, Home Defense, hunt, CQB, etc... So, in order to be able to tackle all of those, I think my main concerns would...

Looking for low priced parts that aren't complete crap, any good parts recommendations? Any good mod ideas that could do to it? My cousin has a coyote problem on his rach and the coyotes have been killing his chickens.

Hi folks, As the title says, I'm putting together my first AR build, mainly from PSA parts. This will be my first AR, and actually my first center fire rifle. As my first and only (for now), it will be a "jack of all trades" of sorts. But realistically it will mostly be for plinking. Our...

I got one of those palmetto state armory 16 inch uppers with parts kit for $260. The lower is a ruger, not home made plastic or 80%. The optic is a leopold cqt mark 4. I take it out to get it on paper at 25yd with M193 type ammo. First thing I notice is its shooting nearly 2 inch groups at 25...

hey guys Anybody have experience with CBC industries? Looking to order an upper from them to build as a budget AR, as I’ve spent over 2k each on the last few builds I’ve done. Time to take it easy lol. I’ve seen good and not so good reviews online about these guys and I want to see if anyone...
