AR thread /arg/

Got a deal on the monopod adapter, so picked it up. Waiting for a good deal on a monopod, and or genuine necessity. I still haven't even sledded and grouped the gun yet so it isn't really calling for a monopod yet. It is functioning well which is good. Just busy. I also haven't done an ounce of research on monopods. I really want something with a QD but I don't really see anything.

Steiner P4Xi 4-16x56mm, illuminated, 32oz without mount, SCR mil style reticule, exposed and zero stop windage/elevation turrets. Adjustable parallax and diopter. I need to get a bubble level for it and possible a throw lever and scope caps. Strongly considering MK machining for the lever and level. I'll shoot it and see if I'm going to be holding onto the glass and if so I'll invest in some Aadland scope caps.

A friend of mine has one and I am really not a fan of the carbine length gas system, and again, bayonet doesn't fit right :)

Why make the gun tall in one dimension when you can just make it slightly larger in all dimensions?

Sure.

Make sure to eat a bunch of potato chips after you go shooting.
>Socom barrel
I thought you wanted durability and sustained fire capability? If so then SOCOM profile barrel is what you want, not stupid Gov.
>Bayonet doesn't fit right
Well then he has a shit M4gery.
>Not a fan of carbine length gas system
Why? And please don't peddle some inane outdated circa 2008 arfcom shit like "overgassed carbine 16" ARs beat themselves up!"
Fucking get a 14.5/14.7" and or throw a heavier buffer in there.

raptor SD or Geissele ACH or SCH for suppressed 11.5" upper with omega?

ach for 556 sch for 308

raptor big gay

both are still better than cuckfire. I should really sell my cuckfire and get a different light.

>why not carbine length
I refuse to get another 14.5 pinned and welded or SBR it and pay the cuck tax for 1.5 inches, and bayonets don't fit on 16 inch carbine lengths. That plus it makes the rail shorter to accommodate the FSB unless you get one of the cool ones that envelope it.
And I want a reasonable, not pencil and mlok level of durability and sustained fire. The gov profile is fine and doesn't add more unnecessary weight than I am already adding.

>with omega
oof

aside from the novelty factor, no one would opt for the cheap shitty ColtCanada patent infringing foreign clone when they could buy a genuine LMT

Skip. Spend $45 with a coupon code for the Radian Raptor LT, then spend $5 at the auto parts store and do the silicon seal mod. There are many better ways to manage gas than a $100 charging handle. Adjustable gas block, heavier buffer, googles/dedicated shooting wraparounds.

Omega is sweet, I like mine, but holy hell back pressure.

No one is advocating SBRing a 14.5"
>I refuse to get another 14.5" pinned and welded
Why? It is an M4gery. It'll just run a A2 bird cage until you get a can.
>bayonets don't fit
Yeah, which is why your friend's M4gery sucks and why you should do a solid M4gery with a 14.5" since it will a) look good, b) function decent, c) not be a stupid 16" middy with FSP and middy rail/handguard.

>Gov profile is fine
Gov profile is unironically functionally such shit. You want sustained fire? You want a bayonet? You want durable? You want boomer classico aesthetics? This is simple, do a half decent 14.5" M4gery with a Gov barrel or more ideally a SOCOM barrel and you get those things.

Stop baiting/shitposting.

2 MRO's or 1 T2 and 1 Poverty Arms? I have two rifles to get optics for...

Alright, let me sum this up
I want a mid length (for rail length) with a bayonet and a FSP. For that to be the case I want it to be 16". I want something simmilar to picrelated from the last thread visually, but slightly more modernized by being mid length and free floated because those are empirically better than a carbine length and not FF. I have experience with gov profile barrels, they work fine. This isn't going to be a precision gun, it is going to be a 16" 5.56 with a red dot and irons. Since the upper is already going to be front heavy, I don't want to go with a heavier profile for no tangible gain.

>IS THE MRO® MAGNIFIED?
>The Trijicon MRO Manufactured before Serial number 89,000 did have a very slight magnification of 1.05x which is within the range of competitive reflex-style sight. Responding to customer feedback Trijicon adjusted the magnification in MROs with a serial number of 89,000 or higher to have a magnification of 1.00x or no magnification.

6.8 is a meme. Go .300 blackout if you ever want to suppress it, or do a rifle length build.

Shop used. Fuck MRO, they're shit.

>mid length being empirically better than carbine
This is old arfcom boomer hogwash that only applies to 16" barrels and was an overstated issue at the time. There is a very tangible gain to the SOCOM over the Gov profile in that the increased mass results in lower temps for a given firing schedule. What you've got in that picture is a 16" carbine M4gery. You should do something VERY similar but just use a 14.5" and pin and weld. You still haven't explained why that is out of the question.

All in all I don't understand your priorities, and in many ways they seem to be in conflict.

>no real world experience with guns
kek

Because you're a boomer/zoomer that still buys into the BR meme.

Both eyes are open anyway...Also the presentation of the flip caps like that is disingenuous. Plus the MRO has like fucking 12" of parallax shift at 100 yards so you're STRAIGHT up missing man sized targets. It is shit.

I meant how many of the same type, whatever caliber and length you prefer.

Do you want just 5.56 suppression?
Saker556k ASR
Do you want 7.62 ontop of that?
Sandman-K
I have an A5 buffer in my 416. It dropped the cyclic rate approx 100-150 RPM depending on ammo and creates a slower but more consistent recoil impulse. Worth it for guns that you plan to shoot in auto with more control, want to stay on target for followups or want a softer impulse

your question just went from reasonable and thought provoking to childish and meaningless

I had always ruled out .300 because I didn’t live in suppressor friendly states until now, and am thinking that will be better option.

Also

It will definitely get hot enough to show the difference between a gov and a pencil, but it probably wont get hot enough to show the difference in a gov and a socom, so the added weight/cost/time isn't worth it for me.

I don't want a pinned/welded 14.5 because I already have one and I don't like not having the ability to play with muzzle devices if i want to. More options>less options

So followup with the a5, would it be better to go full on a5 system or just change weights for a 16" carbine general purpose gun and full retard isn't in the cards for a long while?

Forgot optics
14.5 Eotech HHS I
16” Bushnell TRS25 (for now)
16” Sig Romeo 5
11.5” Steiner R1X
8” Steiner R1X

If you want to shoot subs out of an AR and have them actually able to kill things, .300 is the way to go

>just try it, you'll see!
Nice "evidence."

I don’t have a 7.62 yet, but I do have a 9mm “pistol”. Is it better to stick with a dedicated 5.56 and then get a dedicated 9mm (like those ones that are modular for pistol/carbine)?

11+ colt canada ARs
Stay mad poorfag amerifats

so damn glad I got a unblemed olt lower before they stopped selling them

That def. makes sense, .300 seems like it can do a good job at many things.

Are you planning on running a suppressor?
Heavy weights will compensate for the suppressor and will be cheaper than A5. A5 stroke is superior to just stacking a H2 buffer imo. But its a very personal thing, I know plenty of people who like their guns snappy and slightly overgassed where as I prefer mine slower.
Do you own an MRO or do you defend them for free? Not even a hotpocket provided?
If you owned an MRO you could easily verify my statement but I dont think you do.
>Is it better to stick with a dedicated 5.56 and then get a dedicated 9mm (like those ones that are modular for pistol/carbine)?
Yes. Hybrid cans are mostly a meme. You will want a can for every gun by the time you are done with things.

Most of its merits are overblown, but it does suppression very well. Generally speaking, supersonic .300 is a considerably more expensive equivalent of 7.62x39, but it fits into AR mags and rifles with the footprint of standard ARs.

Suppressor purchase will be in the next 6-8 months, not decided on what one yet

Mine came with nothing and was $1200

If only it was any good subsonic

Consider a Sandman K with a 5.56 end cap. It will be affordable, small, light, short, very durable, and have a great QD mechanism. It will lack in terms of suppression, but not that much.

>I want a 16 inch barrel
But why? You want an M4 looking thing. The way to get that isn't to do a 16" barrel with a middy FSP and some new design quad rail. It is to do a 14.5" with a KAC RAS.

What are you thinking for the AR10?

>Dedicated
Depends on your budget and NFA timeline and if you plan to buy/suppress any .30 cal rifles or .45 cal pistols.
IMO for most people the first cans should be a .30 cal middleweight middle performance centerfire can and then a .45 cal pistol can. But it depends.
