Luke Brown
Seems cool, do it OP.
Justin Thompson
>fuck arg
Damn straight
Posting for a comfy ar thread and yes you should op because you can and it would probably be tits
Adam Martin
>make an xm177 slick side
>decide to save money and get a slipover moderator and a heavy barrel because HBAR barrels are chad
>gun is now front heavy
HELP
That’s not retro go shit up ARG not here, this is a good thread
Jaxon Green
You cannot stop me.
Brayden Russell
Get an aluminum CAR15 stock to balance it out?
Carter Collins
It might help if you didn't have that turbo-lightweight POS N1 stock. Also shame on you for the A2 lower.
Oliver Turner
>NDS
barf.
James Parker
ive read all the guides, seen side by sides, read the specifics and I still cannot tell the difference between an a1 and a2 lower. Can't help it. The handguard is also a 7 hole CAR handguard. it's not perfect at all.
Jaxson Evans
I brought home my first A1 last weekend.
Chase Morris
Post retro slut.
Oof.
I really wish Brownells would go ahead and make the fixed sling attachment point for the rear stock instead of having the pre-A1 swiveled one for every non-XM retro they have.
Ayden Richardson
that sounds cool. new school and old school.
Adrian Lopez
This is a Type D stock which has the solid rubber butt plate so a swivel is correct for this model. This isn't a Brownells rifle, though.
Kevin Jenkins
nice minimalist aesthetic. sight is kinda far back but too each their own.
Easton Davis
Yeah but Brownells always sells those types with their A1s when they were used on 602s, 604s and E1s, which bothers me immensely.
Brandon Garcia
and not quite as cool or good as either
Zachary Sullivan
Roll mark
Elijah Garcia
>in .458
Are you retarded, high or both?
Zachary Sanchez
Or just have functioning eyes and look at the profile of the front and rear takedown pin areas.
Charles Rivera
so what? if you already have a couple ARs you're satisfied with why not mess around with the formula?
ARs have an available parts market to make it happen unlike most other guns
Noah Lewis
Do it OP. Dissipators are fucking sexy.
Gavin Taylor
I like OP, am thinking about doing a big bore Retro rifle. I wanted to do a Colt 601 style rifle in .350 Legend but it looks like the only barrel length made is 16 inch
Josiah Gray
Currently have a guy making me some custom FCG pins and heads for my M231 build that I can use with the M231 side plate I have.
Also having him make a rear spring retainer so I can use a surplus M231 buffer tube I have, still looking for an end-cap for it though.
Camden Long
I mean you're gonna need to do a lot of tweaking but still.
Angel Gray
Where did you get that sight? I’ve been looking all over
James Watson
UK ebay, it was the only place I had any luck finding one.
Tyler Gutierrez
I've been meaning to build my own retro style AR. Who are some good manufacturers of A1 uppers/lowers? Are Brownells offerings with their retro series of rifle good?
Caleb Allen
Why would you need to tweak it? Just run the gas system underneath the handguards.
Nathan Campbell
>digits
Parker Bailey
Working on mine right now. Except I'm using .50 beo. I know .458 is better but its not
T W E L V E P O I N T S E V E N
gonna get it to match my sp1 have a nice little pair
Leo Cooper
I'm buying a furniture set from Ironwork designs and I'm gonna see if He'll make me two a1 grips so I can replace this fuggly one. Gonna put this set on the .50 because it has a recoil pad
Logan Campbell
*ironwood
Jordan Myers
Is that third hole real
Tyler Price
ARRET!
Hudson Torres
doesnt the .50 require some propitiatory shit?
Isaac Perry
Because if you ever worked with a dissipator you'd know they do not always play nice. In particular mine was calibrated better for m4 buffer rather than rifle length so I had to take apart the buffer and remove some weights and replace them with plastic inserts. After doing that she runs great, but pre, she was having malfunctions all the time
Mason Flores
Maybe youre just retarded for using the original dissapator gas settings. I run a carbine length gas system under the handguards and the FSB is just there for looks and to attach the handguards to. It looks just like a real dissapator but functions as good as any carbine length rifle.
James Smith
Put some new/old grips on my sp1
Nicholas Peterson
>Uses carbine length gas
Lol git and stay git
Tyler Stewart
>falling for the midlength meme.
Josiah Adams
>he can't affix a bayonet
Nolan Parker
Finally, the shoot deer in half meme becomes real
Easton Reyes
My man
Jason Edwards
no dissapator can.
Elijah Miller
What was the idea of having a screw in the front instead of the standard td pin?
Jayden Jackson
Ye I'm gonna have to custom machine me a gasblock and shit but its gonna be dope so
Jose Howard
do et faget
Dominic Thompson
to add on, I used my spare set of A1 furniture that was missing a couple teeth and painted it in rhodie baby shit for fun.
i still have both cans of paint almost full and i'm not sure what to do with them.
Adam Hill
America.
Charles Kelly
Good way to chip your stove.
Adrian Scott
Judging from his burners he doesnt care
Mason Morgan
Can none of you afford an SP1?
Jaxon Martinez
>He didn't do a rifle length
Asher Fisher
That's pretty damn ugly. Poor rifle.
Nolan Allen
Have you even read the thread bud theres several
Jace Williams
>paying the boomer jew
wheres yours?
Jackson Baker
>SP1
>wanting a big hole upper
absolute trash.
Aiden Baker
SP2/A2 is peak AR, prove me wrong.
Angel Sanders
Send the paint to me, that's what you should do with them.
Asher Murphy
>no bayonet lug
Samuel Colt looks down upon his successors...
Jordan Fisher
>A2 upper
>no fence lower
Why didnt they update the lowers? Also Pencil barrel M16s handle fantastically.
Oliver Hall
Not mine, just a picture I pulled off google. I do plan on building a sporter 2/a2 clone.
Ryan Cook
I feel like the only reason you make a clone is for authenticity, and if you make it .458 it's not very authentic. I guess if you REALLY like the aesthetic it's fine, but it's going to look goofy with a thick barrel, particularly on a build that originally had a 5.56 pencil profile.
Isaiah Ortiz
Do all sporters come like that?
Grayson Peterson
as far as I know, all SP1's ive seen have not had a fence.
I already have a 605 clone in 556, and the only part of the barrel you will see is the tiny bit in the front sight. Other than that it will all be hidden.
Jacob Morris
Lincoln Bennett
What kind of wire stock is that
Grayson Parker
Idk nigger, tongue his anus to find out
Connor Young
William Rodriguez
>tfw no a2 lsw
Robert Wilson
Absolutely nothing retro about that.
Adrian Reyes
Good way to chip your stove.
Wyatt Wilson
Hunter Phillips
Sounds fucking sick, dude.
To hell with the haters, big bore is life.
Luke Wright
Who makes good A1s? I know Colt has their retro reissue ones but I'd rather not dump over 2 grand on one. I've also found Windham makes one but I don't know how good that is. Anyone else?
Luis Wright
Do it
Sebastian Fisher
Looks like a nerf gun stock
Matthew Flores
>30rd mags for an A1 clone
Disgusting
Luis Flores
Get the proper dust cover NEET
Jonathan Hernandez
I couldn't find an sp1, i have a colt match target hbar ii i panick bought when the retards in tx and Ohio started killing people. Going to get an sp1 and an m1 garand soon.
Lucas Barnes
It was an early form of full auto demil, the idea was to prevent a full auto lower from being attached to the upper, so the upper attachment hole was drilled out to a larger diameter with a two piece screw used in its place.
Joseph Bell
based cringe based
Jackson Lee
niggers tongue my anus
Evan Mitchell
wut
Colton Murphy
Don't worry about it.
Aaron Bailey
Here's the M16A1 clone I finished earlier this summer. The furniture and upper are surplus, lower and barrel are brownells. I should probably try to weather the lower a bit to make it a bit more consistent with the upper but haven't bothered to do so. Not sure what my best bet would be there either.
Luis Hernandez
It would honestly be easier to just get the upper refinished.
Isaiah Turner
Maybe, but I like the distressed look of the surplus stuff on the gun.
Aaron Fisher
just stress the lower yourself.
Camden Walker
This is peak AR...
Jacob Brown
HBAR is nonoptimal for an AR.
Luke Brooks
FA
Jaxson White
Been sitting on an A2 upper receiver for a while and want to build something off of it. Should I go M16A2 clone or Colt 727/ XM4 (pic related)?
Jason Brooks
SR15 upper
SR15 lower
Samuel Miller
Is it a true retro build if there's a rail underneath?
Gabriel Cook
only if it's a cut carry handle upper with custom rails, for that 90s/early 00s look
Mason Moore
It's a p90 red dot no?
William Parker
Close but not quite.
It's an LC-7-40-M16 sight made by the same company (Ringsights),
but it doesn't have any sort of illumination except for really old tritium like on the 1st generation P90 sights.
It's also specifically made for the M16's carry handle.
Wyatt Sanders
Where did you get the stock?
