I really do like the HK sights. Those look really good on your rifle. Next thing I want is a bayonet lug. So needs a bayonet. I LIKE BAYONETS DAMN IT!!!!! MUST FIT OKC-3S TO ARX!!!!  Now I'm a gun nerd :) |

One more question for all you the ARX 100 experts: I found this photo on another AR15.com post and the rifle appears to have a magpug butt pad. Has anyone added something similar to their rifle and any suggestions on how to do it ?
Thanks in advance !

I've thought about trying to do it using industrial velcro, since it has some decently strong adhesive for the hook/loop backing strips, but which can still be removed without causing damage to the buttstock.

Went ahead and ordered a parts kit form Botch as a spare to my SBR and use the other barrel to SBR my FDE ARX. Still waiting on my SBR to ship though it looks like form 3 is approved. Slooow shipping. Does anybody with factory SBR know if it ships with lower rail and cover?

Hey guys
This seems like the ARX-100 master thread so I thought I'd post here. I've got a bunch of questions. First how does the ARX suppress? I've got a reasonably high backpressure can and was wondering if it is going to be super gassy. I've seen mixed reports, some people saying the gas is awful, and some saying otherwise. Are the factory 10" barrels more gassy than the 16" or something? I assume that you use the normal (N) non adverse setting when shooting suppressed right? Does anyone have experience installing different muzzle devices? Suppressor mount muzzle devices? How do you hold the barrel when installing a new muzzle device? With an AR you just vice up the upper using a bev block, or upper vice block. How do you do it with an ARX? Any experience chopping the factory 16" barrel to ~14.5" then pinning and welding a muzzle device? Is there enough material to shoulder a muzzle device against or do you need to add a shoulder when you get the barrel chopped and threaded? What are the best groups you can expect out of this thing? 1.5 MOA possibly? Or more likely 2-2.5 MOA? How is the return to zero when you quick change a barrel? Anyone completed the magwell modification to allow more magazine compatibility? Thanks! |

Also, upper receiver vise blocks should never be used for muzzle device installation or removal on an AR. You could end up loosening the barrel from the barrel extension and/or shear the indexing pin and damage the upper receiver's indexing pin notch. |

Anyone completed the magwell modification to allow more magazine compatibility? Thanks! Suppressed shooting with a shorter bbl should result in comparitively less back pressure, if for no other reason than the pressure drops off sooner due to the bullet leaving the muzzle sooner than a longer bbl, all else being equal. Set the gas block on 'S' when running it suppressed. 'N' is the larger port setting for dirty conditions or underpowered ammo. A 3rd setting specific for can use would've been a nice feature. Installing a muzzle device on a cut down bbl will require a crown washer. Get a bbl vice from Brownels. RTZ should be pretty good for bbl reinstall, though different lengths will have unique zero points. It's as accurate as a CZ Bren, which no one bitches about. The ARX catches more flak because it doesn't resemble an AR or SCAR. With the 10" bbl mounted, it's nearly the same size as a CZ EVO 3. Lastly, mod your mags & leave the magwell alone. |

I assume that you use the normal (N) non adverse setting when shooting suppressed right? The barrel/ gas block setting, there are two holes in the barrel to allow gas in, the gas block switches between only one, or doing both. Normal 16" setup is one hole works with mil-spec, 2 holes with weaker ammo. Usually when cutting down a barrel, you open up the gas holes to allow more in to cycle it faster given that there's less dwell time. So I've seen someone that cut to 10" or whatever and opened up the first hole to function with silencer on, then opened up the second hold to work without silencer. Does anyone have experience installing different muzzle devices? Suppressor mount muzzle devices? How do you hold the barrel when installing a new muzzle device?

High to low, at least from what I've found: Factory plastic BUIS 90% of BUIS, including LPAs (AR height) Troy Micros CZ Scorpion irons Probably going to get rid of my LPAs, since they're too high for me. |

Any tips for making the cheek riser a bit more stable? Mine moves around and gets knocked around. I also figured out a decent way to mount a Blue Force Gear Vickers padded sling to the gun. Front sling mount works fine, but the rear requires a sort of webbing adapter to go from 1" webbing to the thicker 1.25" sling webbing. You can kind of see it in the image with the multicam sling attached.
I am really liking my ARX though! Aimpoint sent me low mount screws for the QRP so the PRO should be mounted lower coming up pretty soon. Will also just remove the factory irons at that point and run with only one sighting mechanism trusting the PRO's durability. Going to run the gun in a 2-gun match coming up shortly hopefully. Hoping to chop the barrel coming up in the next 6 months or so. I think I'll leave the gas ports/screws alone and just hope that the reduced barrel length translates into reduced dwell and thus reduced gas. This should then pair with suppressed use for slightly less gas to face as compared to the factory configuration when suppressed.

Magpul M3 and the second generation EMAG have those overinsertion nubs and will not fit. Grinding them off is all that is required if you absolutely gotta use a new generation Magpul. |

I added some rail mounted quick connects to add a sling. The one on the top rail allows use of the sling with the stock folded. The port cover is one of Jimmy’s prototypes. The Steiner light fits perfectly, I’m guessing it was designed for the ARX since they are sister companies. The combo of Troy micros and TA44 is perfect for this

Where can one find a clamp on bayonet lug for the ARX 100?
It seems a a few years ago there were some aftermarket ar15 pencil clamp on types that should work, but not too common today - searching on google yields old out of stock items. Anyone find some? |
