Quote HistoryQuoted: What parts do you actually have on hand? That, and knowing what exactly the rifle will be used for might help people tell you what to use. I pretty much have the whole rifle. Like I said in my original post, I just pulled out a bunch of stuff I had and this is what I came up with I was going to sell most of it but then I realized I had a whole rifle. It Needs a gas tube. Thought I'd try one of the fancy ones because they are cheap. I sold the Aero NiB bcg when I found out it wasn't C158 and decided to wait the price out. Have over 30 mags, plenty of 77gr federal law enforcement .223 and black hills 5.56 Have the viper PST and RMR just need rings Need to get another PR-4, troy grip, and a CQD rail sling mount, and sling. I need a redot and mount. Need IR Laser and NVGs. |

About the only thing you got right was the Surefire parts.
Don't do a high dollar parts, parts bin gun. It won't be anywhere near as awesome as you think and nobody will ever pay you what you put into it if you sell. Nobody will think it's cool except you. If you're looking to get the best and don't have a problem spending that kind of money get a KAC SR15 or LMT MARS-L. Hell get a DD or Geissele rifle even. Also you're foolish as hell if buy whatever the fuck those magazines are. Get Lancers, EMAGS or PMAGS. My suggestion? Builds are for saving money or cheap range toys. Buying is for getting the best. Get a quality rifle, Surefire suppressor and light, MAWL or second hand full power laser, a bunch of Lancers and save your money for dual tubes. You have the budget for it, unless you're just playing fantasy land. |

I was actually about to laugh at you about the ‘“fancy” gas tube until I looked on Brownells and saw a generic stainless gas tube was now $40, God, that made me feel so old. Pro-tip, gas tubes are cheap and much easier to replace than any barrel. If there is any part you want to fail first, it’s the gas tube. Even with a generic M4 gas tube, the barrel goes before the (then) $5 gas tube a lot of the time. Don’t splurge on the gas tube. Bad idea.

I should add to my trigger comments these things which are probably obvious.
I tap most of my lowers through with 1/4-28 all the way through to the trigger cavity. This is because the anodized threads are too often under-spec and will bind with the grip screw AND because it allows me to use a Loctited 1/4" long screw above the grip screw to closely adjust trigger overpull. You can look up how to do this safely. Also, JoeBob outfitters offers a grip screw with a hole through it that is tapped for a long set screw which can also be Loctited and adjusted to properly set trigger overpull. This is where a stoned/polished/nickel teflon trigger/hammer set gets really, really clean. JoeBob charges, I think I remember, 10 bucks for that grip screw/set screw combo. If you have a tap, the 1/4" long set screw costs 50 cents at your local hardware store. So for the stalwarts who say you have to spend 250 bucks on a trigger, Yeah, I've done that. And I've equaled or exceeded it with an ALG or better yet, an rtb trigger, properly dry broken in and with overpull adjusted. It's crazy clean and I don't care who hasn't tried it who says it doesn't work. A similar analogue would be literally dozens or hundreds of people in arf saying that the slip fit of the barrel to the receiver doesn't matter because they didn't bother with it. Whereas, Army National Guard rifle team master armorer Joe Carlos has vids on youtube showing not only that it does matter - but how to best address it. But I digress. Tired of people saying it doesn't matter - because they say so. It's NOT mil-spec anymore when the trigger pull is clean at 4.5 pounds instead of filthy gritty and will blister your finger at 9 pounds. No Fucking Comparison. Not even the same galaxy. Is that triggered enough??  |

I got the level IIa because it stops the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate for the front. What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on. Here is the questions. The ducttape solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back. Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate? BTW, I am, of course, usually carrying a pair of ceramic plates in my briefcase so that I can shield my head. My SO (we work as a team when necessary) has a similar accessory containing a breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18? bbl. The plan is that I shield us with my body and “catch the rounds” while she assembles the NEF. I lay down covering fire with my 23 (Bar-Sto .357 Sig barrel) and she makes the long shots. I will then throw smoke grenades to obscure the area while continuing to lay covering fire. The problem, of course, is when I have to turn my back to run, and then the problem crops up. |

Holy Jesus this went from “not sure if serious” to “hope not serious” to “seriously?” to “oh damn, he serious.” And I suspect “seriously fucked up” is right around the corner.
OP, it’s pretty clear that your trying to make friends and influence people over the internet. Never a good idea, but even if it was, you’re going about it the wrong way. The following is gonna hurt, but I’m doing it for your own good. You’re not impressing anyone. No one cares what you have or don’t have. Having a bunch of crap that you think is expensive laying around doesn’t mean anything to anyone. No one believes that you are big and scary. Everything about your posts in this thread give off the vibe of masturbating with Cheetos dust as lube, thinking about how being a “Tier 1” operator would be totally sweet. My recommendation: don’t double down on your crap. Simply post “thanks for the recommendations, I’m going to rethink this build” and leave the thread. Hope it dies quickly and is forgotten. Bless your heart OP. |

And if I ain't getting all the little girls feathers ruffled then I'm not doing it right. I'm not "going to rethink this build" just because it doesn't fit with mainstream marketing and bow down. I am more concerned about the engineering and that is why I posted this thread. Some attacked me as if I just window shopped for expense parts and posted them. Far from it. I've used just about everything that has come out that was worth a dam. And being around long enough you can tell the crap from what could potentially be good. But again, thanks for your input. It was very insightful. |

And if I ain't getting all the little girls feathers ruffled then I'm not doing it right. I'm not "going to rethink this build" just because it doesn't fit with mainstream marketing and bow down. I am more concerned about the engineering and that is why I posted this thread. Some attacked me as if I just window shopped for expense parts and posted them. Far from it. I've used just about everything that has come out that was worth a dam. And being around long enough you can tell the crap from what could potentially be good. But again, thanks for your input. It was very insightful. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Holy Jesus this went from “not sure if serious” to “hope not serious” to “seriously?” to “oh damn, he serious.” And I suspect “seriously fucked up” is right around the corner. OP, it’s pretty clear that your trying to make friends and influence people over the internet. Never a good idea, but even if it was, you’re going about it the wrong way. The following is gonna hurt, but I’m doing it for your own good. You’re not impressing anyone. No one cares what you have or don’t have. Having a bunch of crap that you think is expensive laying around doesn’t mean anything to anyone. No one believes that you are big and scary. Everything about your posts in this thread give off the vibe of masturbating with Cheetos dust as lube, thinking about how being a “Tier 1” operator would be totally sweet. My recommendation: don’t double down on your crap. Simply post “thanks for the recommendations, I’m going to rethink this build” and leave the thread. Hope it dies quickly and is forgotten. Bless your heart OP. Awww.... thanks for caring. You seem like the type that runs away and crawls into a hole when shit goes south. . You see I'm not the one who conforms to what everyone else thinks and bows out when others disagree. That may be your outlook but not mine. Too many people are swept up in marketing and have become fanboys. Plain and simple. I didn't come here to make friends because I dont like people. Just being honest. However I have knowledge skills and experience. Something that many here I've seen do not have. They just look to see what everyone else has at the moment and figure that this must be the best or seen some jackoff on YouTube with it and fell for it. A razor gen III 1-10 is not gods gift to man for example. And a micro T2 isn't worth what they are asking for it I've probably built more rifles over the past 30 years than a good majority here have ever shot, and of those only 25-30% have been ARs.

It was very insightful. Coming from a guy who thinks there’s a practical use for a 25x optic on a 14.5” 5.56 outside of maybe target shooting (even though the rest of the gun is, at best, poorly thought out for that purpose)?

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ll be frank. Your build looks like a teenager went on the AR builder app, sorted each component for highest-priced, and selected them all. The comment about the scope was realistic. Binoculars and spotting scopes are your friend. A 1-6 or 1-8x would likely be far more up your alley. This. The whole build is dumb and you couldn’t waste more money if you tried. Why Colt springs and detents? Did you really feel like spending $50 on $6 worth of parts? Why multiple optics that are poorly suited for the gun? Buy a single quality optic and leave it on the gun. You could outfit two quality purpose built rifles for what you want to spend on one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I get the feeling that too many kids are on here that only wish they had half the crap I just throw in a box. Your build is a gross poor person build. Build something nice instead. |
