The fun one is if you have a Mod 0 with the longer screws. They all bottom out on the gas tube.
No page ownage with an edit, but top of the board needs pics. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Three or four different rifles in various stages of non-spec. And one of the above pretty well buttoned up save the sling setup. |

On the plus side, sighted in the PA Raptor on my cheapO Andro 300BLK 8" upper and it will put 5 in one hole at 50 yards lol. |

Is this a design flaw or is someone just using the wrong screw on these and its hitting the gas block?
On the Mod 0 I see PRI has a Natural CF Handguard Option? Are they just painted black otherwise? |

Find an area with natural light, outdoors after sun-up or before sun-down are best. Direct noon light is brutal, indoor light is too dark. Find a simple background in this light Lay the rifle flat on it, or slightly propped up with something behind it Stand above the rifle, between it and the light source, so it is illuminated in your photo, note your shadow and keep it out of frame If you are using a phone, hold it steady and tap the screen to focus the camera on the rifle Center the rifle in the frame, don't use any odd angles yet, simple is best when starting out. Take the photo without shaking or moving the camera/phone When editing the photo do not apply general filters from an app, most of them are garbage. You can use the crop/rotate feature to straighten the photo. Use the "light" and "color" meters/slides to get the photo color balance closer to what you see with the naked eye. Do not go crazy with this, little adjustments are best. That's about it to get passable quality photos. Once you master the basics then you can start to break from the mold and do artsy photos. Until then, simplest is often best. |

When I built my first one there were hardly any lol. My initial thought is to just grab a Douglas 17.9" CLE Match Chamber bead blast finish, but with so many choices now maybe I need to research a bit more. |

Whoa Colt uppers don't last long in the EE lol... I did fine one stripped square forge but it's got I guess a cage code or something dot-matrixed into the side of the upper... I guess that's new?
Shark Arms is out as well. I swear I had a colt upper set aside but I can't find it now. 4 lowers... sure. Uppers nada. Where to get one these days - Now the barrel search starts... |
