Whats the shortest barrel I should go with for a .300 BLK sbr?
Jace White
So I bought an AR, put about half a mag through and now it won't shoot anymore. I examined the chamber, can't see any soot or gunk in it (that's what the guys at the range suggested). It does look like the slide isn't getting all the way home, I tried the forward assist, I've tried racking the charging handle, nothing seems to be getting it to go home. Any ideas?

What do you guys think of throw levers on lpvo's? I never see them, nobody uses the rings with the ledge that makes it faster to use etc? Anybody have bad experience with them?

is this upon the initial chambering of a round or after firing a chambered round

What are the biggest new trends in ARs the past year or so?

dat Kahles
I'm torn between the Kahles and the Leupold Mk6 1-6x. How's your scope treated you?
Ian Robinson
Caleb Sullivan
>smos gfy rail
you have very good taste
the Kahles is leaps and bounds better than the Leupold - it's the best scope on the market

Michael Sanders
TLs are 'OK' if they are not too large, tall. If they are huge they will FU your optic in a moment of panic or dynamic shit, like when your rifle hits the edge of a door jamb....
Brayden Mitchell
Post mags.
Caleb Reed
I regret not getting an upper. Those were such a good deal. Oh well maybe Ill get an lmt on a different sale.
Asher Butler
Rip bump stocks.
Sebastian Lee
The problem I have with the Kahles is that it isn't 5.56 specific like the Leupold's reticle is. Learning holdovers is important sure, but it's nice to have a cheat sheet right in the optic.
Ryan Wright
That’s quality shitty ammo

36 yard zero + dope card to 600. Hold dead on for out to 300, dial for 300+
Lincoln Murphy
>bump stock
>and binary trigger
Nicholas Murphy
I've never been a fan of any sort of ballistic reticles/subtensions. Very rarely accurate for me, especially at distances you're really focusing on dope/holds. Too much variance in ammo and velocities out there. Makes sense on a combat optic like the ACOG where you're more concerned about being minute of man as quickly as possible. My worthless .02 anyway.
Julian Rogers
At least we still have our Fostech Echos & Franklin Binary Triggers. Lets see how long those last before they're banned.
Brayden James
They better not fuck with binary triggers.
I'm in MO so I'm really hoping that something happens with SB 367. I'll die happy, if it goes through.
Joseph Lewis
I'm thinking of picking up a Fostech Echo, just to hold onto. As gimmicky and impractical as they are, I think there still a good investment to have seeing that pull-release triggers will certainly be banned at some point.
Brody Powell
Are red dots bad if I have astigmatism?
Any recommendations? I need two optics.
Austin Miller
Not a bad idea. They are a blast to shoot every now and then.

If anyone was wondering how to filter trAsh and Wuggy, here is how. Go to the top right corner, click settings, the filters and post hiding, check filter and highlight specific posts, and their tripcodes are in the pic.
Nathaniel Russell
Joshua Foster
Where do y’all place your VFG? Mine is a bit further forward. Idk why I did this.
It’s stuck now anyways because the hex screw is stripped and I can’t unstrip it.
I’ll have to cut the vfg to turn the mlok thingy
Ryder Taylor
>36 yard zero

Alexander Clark
I'm lost. What kind of torque wrench do I need for the castle nut and ar-15 tool?
Robert Flores
You don't need a torque wrench for the castle nut. Just use an armorer's wrench and crank it tight.
Joshua Rivera
You need a drive head side that's the same as the cutout in your AR armorer's tool. 1/2" drive should be good. If your armorer's wrench has a different-sized hole, you can always get an adapter.
What you have pictured though are all ratchets that offer no torque settings. A Kobalt torque wrench would be your typical clicky ratchet with a twisting handle to adjust torque. Basically you set the torque you need based on the markings on the handle, lock it to that torque value, then tighten your fastener slowly--so you don't blast beyond the required torque value--until the wrench clicks.
Torque wrench is gonna set you back some coin, but it's an extremely useful tool that any DIY'er should have.
Michael Hill
Forward is good
You can use bits to back out stripped heads
Tyler Moore
How is it even justifiable for any of you sick incels fucks to own a weapon of murder??
Ayden Hughes
Why doesn’t anyone paint their rifle in a M81 color palette?
Levi Ortiz
I'm operating on a limited budget, is it something I can do without?
Chase Sanders
How likely is it that my local gun store will have all the specialty tools (like an armorer's wrench, an AR vise block, etc) necessary to build an AR.
Dylan Williams
Im to scared to paint my rifle or I would most likely do something like M81.
Nicholas Butler
Cabelas has them, so I'd say the likelihood of you finding the tools at a gun store are pretty good.
Grayson Evans
If they do itll be over priced. Buy from ebay.
Aaron Kelly
Do I really need a vise block? Can't I just struggle to install the magazine catch and then use an actual magazine as a block?
Robert Howard
I would say no, other will disagree, but the last thing you want is to have your barrel nut loosen up. Go to autozone or harbor freight and get a cheapie if your really that hard up for cash (you can also get a used one off ebay too, I got a bigass matco torque wrench for a pretty good deal)
Kayden Williams
>and then use an actual magazine as a block?
Are you just building a lower? If so then yes but youll damage said mag most likely. I only used the block for the castle nut. The rest I installed just holding the lower. Which IMO seemed to be the easiest way to build a lower.
Parker Adams
My $20 harbor freight torque wrench works real nice. It also has a lifetime warranty.
Jordan Richardson
You will need something to hold the upper reciever when you torque down the barrel. I personally use a knockoff of the Geissele reaction rod that brownells sells, but I've also used the plastic clamshell type of vice bkock with no problem.
The reaction rod (or spline rod or whatever the fuck you call it) is really nice.
Aaron Myers
Yup, I'm ordering
palmettostatearmory.com
So as far as I know, once the lower is built, I'll be able to just snap on the upper. Am I correct in thinking this? The only thing that I'll be changing on the upper is the handguards for now.
Charles Gomez
>Am I correct in thinking this?
Yes PSA uppers are already built
Kevin Richardson
I mean its good for thumb over bore and all that (basically using the VFG as a handstop), but its tiring as hell.
David Myers
Technically yes because the spec for barrel nut torque is kind of wide. As long as you keep it under 80 ftlbs you are fine, you could but you might look into "beam" style torque wrench that just has a bar that points to the level of torque. Not as sophisticated but can probably be had for $20ish.
Isaac Nguyen
send that cocksucker to russia, it will be taken care of.
Evan Green
>he still does a 50 yard zero
I bet you only have m193 for ammo too
Levi Myers
I’ve only ever fired a Colt ar-9 but liked it. I am otherwise clueless with ARs but want to buy one. Should I buy one of the used M&P 15X trade-ins from sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore for like $550? How much do you have to spend to get a ‘decent’ rifle that you’d hang on to for a long time?
Mason Bennett
Giddy did m81 colors. Doing actual m81 pattern would look p fruity.
Asher Gutierrez
If your in america, you can rent half inch torque wrenches from an autoparts store, most let you do it for "free", you put down the money that they say the tool is worth, when you bring it back they refund you your money back
Jace Stewart
Was thinking about copping the Colt M4. Any thoughts or other options I should take a look at for a quality first buy?

Does anyone know what model surefire this is? I """found""" it at my last unit.
Evan Miller
>I """found""" it at my last unit.
Why even bring this up?
Luke Morris
Why not?
Liam Cook
I have one, eats steelcase and brass reliably, no complaints but its a bit pricey
Adam Ortiz
That’s what I’m talking about. The “OD green” camo paint floating around out there is more like “crushed 57 stone green”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actual green/brown/black/tan paint job and it would be aesthetic as fuck.
Levi Brooks
bent gas tube, loose gas key?
Ian Collins
I use a 36 yard zero because I live in open terrain
Isaiah Baker
Brownell's Coyote is the new FDE
Ethan Peterson
Depends on price but you could do far, far worse
Lucas Adams
Giddy's looked pretty good I thought
William Martinez
It happened after a failure to eject I think, I had to pull extremely hard on the charging handle to eject it (actually the guy in the stall next to me got it to go, I was worried about pulling that hard to be honest). Upon chambering the next round all I hear is a soft ping when I pull the trigger
Daniel Brooks
Take upper off lower half. Hold at about 30 degree angle to the floor, barrel down. With your free hand, unlatch the charging handle and pull the bolt carrier group back so the chamber is open. While holding the BCG as far back as it will go against the charging handle, slide the CH forward and closed, so you're now holding the BCG back against gravity with the CH latched in place. Now release the BCG and the correct behavior is it should drop forward and close the chamber completely under its own weight. What result do you get?
Jace Bennett
w-what's an upper
Joseph Carter
What's a good starter optic for around $300?
I'm used to M68 CCOs and Acogs from my time in the military, so I'd like something similar to either one of those.
Ryan Sanders
Used aimpoint pro
Nathan Watson
>ACOG
Burris AR-332 is a decent budget prism scope for less than $200
>M68
Bunch of budget red dots will do, I'm a fan of holoson as a brand

is $350. wdhmbt
