Let's see those "NO EXPENSE SPARED" ARs. Whether it be practical or overly tacticool, show us what you have spent all of your hard earned money on. These are the guns guys have to lie to their wives about how much they actually spent to avoid being castrated.

Over 3k isn't anything for guys with thermal/ NV/ FA or other special interests.

Seen this rifle on facebook. What foregrip is that?

I'm talking about a basic rifle, not a weapon system. Price doesn't include optic, suppressors, full auto sears, etc.....

My rifle looks pretty much just like that and it wasn't 3k.

details?

How long is that handguard and who makes it?

I have not, nor will I EVER spend that kind of money on one rifle. The most expensive rifle I ever bought was my DDM4 V1.

No way that rifle is 3k. If it is, you overpaid.

Also, not terribly sure I'd want that break within the bounds of the handguard. Have you shot it yet?

Time for a super not so expensive expensive under $3500 but over $3000 ar pic thread. Not including optics and stuff.

I don't have one. Mine was only $1800 with a 1-4.

I've got two rifles that probably make it up to around $2800 ish with basic optics. Anything over that and you're just setting money on fire. I've got a high end BCM build with C4 rails SSA trigger blah blah blah.

A muzzle break expels a tremendous amount of force and heat. They're made out of steel and alloys specifically capable of the extremely abusive nature of what they do.

To place a muzzle break under a portion of an aluminum handguard will in turn subject that handguard to intense force and heat, which it is not designed in anyway for. Go see if you can find an aluminum muzzle device of any kind, and when you find nothing, ask yourself why muzzle breaks/comps are NOT made out of aluminum....ever.

The muzzle blast will literally be shooting flame inside the end of that handguard, which creates issues beyond what's mentioned above. It's just not a good idea. It serves no functional purpose, and it creates undesirable conditions for you and your gun.

I love how everyone thinks they are smart and tries to tell me I am wrong for doing this.......I honestly can't see why a concussion would harm a rail system. My friend who is an engineer and has a pretty good background in physics and thermodynamics is the one who gave me the idea. If the rail system is that weak, I don't want it on my gun. Aluminum is used a lot in high heat and high pressure applications. The NSR has enough slots in it to allow gases through, so the 'force' will be a non issue. By partially covering the comp, the rail will act as a flash suppressor AND it will slow down the gases resulting in less concussive noise at the shooter's position (which it does noticeably well). A lot of thought and research went into this gun. If the Noveske is not up to the job, I will replace it with a rail that is, but I do not foresee any problem in the least bit with this rifle...... It's all about physics and material science.

So anything more expensive than YOUR most expensive rifle is a waste of money??

Dang. I wouldn't worry about the comp being slightly under the handgaurd. Lights positioned right on top of a break live day and day again with out breaking. How it will affect the muzzle rise negation performance I don't know though.

In case the thread doesn't get locked and lives longer than tonight, I may as well post a pic.

$300 for a stripped upper? I need to read up on that Hera, I guess.
What was wrong with the RCA bolt? Not knocking the JP Enhanced, I have one in my .308

I didn't skimp on any of my builds, and I see that the trinkets add up. I just never got into KNS pins, ambi safeties, battery devices, etc. and have BTDT with comps, so I keep it simple with flash hiders.

It's all in what a guy wants. I don't want to know how much I have in mine, frankly, but your posts have made me feel better

It still does it's job reducing recoil, but it is noticeably quieter, because the rail slows down the concussive gases....... That is a very very nice rifle you have. I do love that lower!

I'm not worried about the rail, just think some blast would get directed backwards once it hits the handguard and spreads in a perpendicular radius.

If it works it works. I'm sure you'll get a lot of hate for it and the "milspec" fanboys will come in saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"

I can't go back to lagecy lowers anymore. Which is good because this is my last AR build unless something new and worthwhile comes out in the future.

HERA Arms stripped uppers are like $270 but there were none in stock and no backorder so I bought my friends brand new one for $30 more than he paid for it. I wanted it that bad. HERA Arms is in Germany and they make awesome products. Only reason I have all the ambi accessories is because I'm a lefty.

There is a reason most muzzle devices that are bedded within the rail are Noveske kx3's. You better watch anyone other than yourself who uses this rifle because if the slide that hand too far forward it is going to seriously suck (I know this because I have a biology degree

) . I'm kinda interested to see how long that front sight stays on the rail. Let us know how it goes... i have a feeling it will be good

Yes I have, though not many, as I just finished it last week.

It still does it's job reducing recoil, but it is noticeably quieter, because the rail slows down the concussive gases....... That is a very very nice rifle you have. I do love that lower!

If it works it works. I'm sure you'll get a lot of hate for it and the "milspec" fanboys will come in saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"

I can't go back to lagecy lowers anymore. Which is good because this is my last AR build unless something new and worthwhile comes out in the future.

Yes, I have gotten a lot of hate for it. I have also had a lot of people say they like it....... It doesn't matter to me either way. It works and I have fun with it and to me that is all that matters.

Yes a SR15 Mod 1 cut to 14.5".

A muzzle break expels a tremendous amount of force and heat. They're made out of steel and alloys specifically capable of the extremely abusive nature of what they do.

To place a muzzle break under a portion of an aluminum handguard will in turn subject that handguard to intense force and heat, which it is not designed in anyway for. Go see if you can find an aluminum muzzle device of any kind, and when you find nothing, ask yourself why muzzle breaks/comps are NOT made out of aluminum....ever.

The muzzle blast will literally be shooting flame inside the end of that handguard, which creates issues beyond what's mentioned above. It's just not a good idea. It serves no functional purpose, and it creates undesirable conditions for you and your gun.

I love how everyone thinks they are smart and tries to tell me I am wrong for doing this.......I honestly can't see why a concussion would harm a rail system. My friend who is an engineer and has a pretty good background in physics and thermodynamics is the one who gave me the idea. If the rail system is that weak, I don't want it on my gun. Aluminum is used a lot in high heat and high pressure applications. The NSR has enough slots in it to allow gases through, so the 'force' will be a non issue. By partially covering the comp, the rail will act as a flash suppressor AND it will slow down the gases resulting in less concussive noise at the shooter's position (which it does noticeably well). A lot of thought and research went into this gun. If the Noveske is not up to the job, I will replace it with a rail that is, but I do not foresee any problem in the least bit with this rifle...... It's all about physics and material science.

There is a reason most muzzle devices that are bedded within the rail are Noveske kx3's. You better watch anyone other than yourself who uses this rifle because if the slide that hand too far forward it is going to seriously suck (I know this because I have a biology degree

) . I'm kinda interested to see how long that front sight stays on the rail. Let us know how it goes... i have a feeling it will be good

HAHA.... yes I probably need to put a handstop on it to avoid 3rd degree burns.

Sounds like someone is having second thoughts about that 15 inch rail now

This gun is going to get plenty of abuse, I can guarantee it...... Every part of this gun was thought out. You guys just have to have something to complain about and show your infinite knowledge and how everyone else's ideas and opinions are just dumb.

I live and breath firearms, physics, and material science..... its my job. By the way you guys talk, this rifle is going to rust away, melt, explode, and fall apart after ten round.

Including your $150 buffer tube?

Including the KNS pins that Geissele specifically warns NOT to use with his triggers?

lol @ you

Buffer tube has a QD mounts on both side, which I like quite a bit. It also in impossible to index this tube incorrectly which is awesome because it annoys the crap out of me when my stock is a couple degrees off. I'm not running a Hi-Speed trigger bud. They work, and work good, why are you complaining. You don't have to live with this pos gun so why are you worried about it?

Actually you can forget the RRA LPK, I only used the springs and detents. Gave the rest of it away to peasants such as yourselves.
