Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M-4matus: @Hox Thanks for the advise. My problem is that all UPS and FedEx distribution centers are at least 2 hours away from my house. So, for Me, it's just not worth selling any ammo online, especially when I would need to take a day off work to ship a box of ammo... All of the "FedEx" and "UPS" locations around here are privately owned businesses and they all say they can't ship ammo. I spent a month stopping by every shipping location within an hour of me and none were owned by either UPS or FedEx... |

This was a medium quality build I did back in the summer of 2006. I only switched from an EoTech 512/ARMS#40 combo to the ACOG/Matech.
I think I'm going to retire the light, but have no plans to change any of the rest of it. Upper: CMT forged Colt BCG Midwest Ind 2pc FF rail Surefire 951 Sabre Defense 16" mid-length CMV chrome lined barrel Ta31RCO-M4 Matech Lower: RRA, RRA Commercial M4 stock and RRA NM trigger First run of Magpul MIAD Absolutely love this rifle still to this day, even if it would be getting its learners permit to drive if it were alive

Finally got my Suppressed 7.62x39 upper finished. I don't think I could have gone with a shorter barrel, lol! I was looking for an 11-5, but could only find a quality barrel in 11'', after waiting 2 months for the barrel, I'm really glad my measurements were correct...

Any advice on the best 7.62x39 BCG set up would be welcomed. I have read 7.62x39 can be difficult with standard AR Lowers. I have heard about some significant design changes made to 7.62x39 AR Bolts that all but illuminated the FTF issues, and that I need an upgraded FP. Any guidance would be appreciated.
thanks jd |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hox: Mags used to be a big problem too. I've had good luck with C products duramags for 7.62x39. I prefer the 28rd mags. As far as the bolt, that's where I believe the true weakness to lie. The bolt face has to be bigger, so less material there. I'm not sure what x39 bolts are going for round count wise these days, but LMT enhanced bolt would have been my choice when they were more valuable then literal gold. Yeah, I didn't know LMT made a 762x39 Bolt. I have 2) 5.56 LMT Enhanced BCGs and 1) 6.8SPC2 LMT Bolt that I run in an enhanced BCG, works great suppressed. Just needed to run an H3. I would love to find an LMT bolt, but I have heard KAK makes a very good complete 7.62x39 BCG. I just hope it doesn't take 2 months to get a bolt like it did the barrel. As for mags, I have 1 C Products, but I dont think its a CDP like yours, I just ordered 2) 17 round E-lander mags, Low round count, but I'm sure E-landers work, at least all the ones I've ever had do. |

LMT MARS lower is superior to KAC SR-15 Lower (I have multiples of both, so I'm not biased).
So, probably LMT MARS Lower with KAC SR-15 upper. Has anyone complained about no Radian or ADM yet? |

With the prices of ammo now, shooting anything .308 is prohibitive for sure. I will say this about the R4...I liked the ergo's better than any AK. It had better build quality/ fit & finish. It was accurate as hell. Granted my 16 year old eyes were much better than now, but we were engaging 10x10 plates at some insane distances. Irons only, running 55gr ball. Getting a Galil/ R4 here in the US now - as you said, stupid expensive. |

I bought 3 NIB LMT MARS-L Lowers, all bought for $629 Complete w/ LMT SOPMODS & 2 Stage Triggers, yes COMPLETE MARS Lowers for $629, last year, the world has gone crazy... That being said, I do like the location of the QD SS mount on the KAC Ambi Lowers. If they ever get back to a normal price, Ill buy one just to try it.

I hear good reports from others on them, but I can tell you the duramags loaded smoother with x39 than the E lander in 6.5. Could be a different story with x39 in the e lander though. Good luck!

I dont love Toolcraft, but they are a good BCG and I keep a few as spares. Problem was, when I was about to buy the Toolcraft 762x39 BCG, the description expressly stated, "NOT MANUFACTURED FOR USE WITH STEEL CASED AMMO". The other 762x39 BCG's I have been trying to source pretty much all said they are designed with enhanced extractors, firing pins and Bolts to accept Steel Cased Ammo. For Me, this means the Toolcraft is out of the question. It also explains why Toolcraft 762x39 BCG are the only ones on the market that have yet to sell out... |

Now where do I get one of those...I truly believe LMT makes KAC Lowers and several other KAC Parts, then KAC just tunes them up a bit and sells the for a big markup. The thing KAC has going on is Their DI gas system, completely sealed, such great improvement for DI guns, of course, I love their Sandcutter BCGs, E3 Barrel Extensions and Bolts. That being said, I still believe, for a gun you shoot Un Suppressed and Suppressed, LMT Enhanced BCGs are the best in the World. |

Got to check things out with my FAL and Hi Power in this respect last week in Idaho. I replaced the usual grease I use with a winter grease, but I still had one stoppage (action stopped short of chambering a round, but a tug on the charging handle and it fed; increasing the gas one click would have likely prevented that) and the BHO device still wouldn't move fast enough to lock the bolt back on the last shot. I might try something even thinner, like ALG Go-Juice, since someone who knows their stuff that was there used it and had zero issues. Lots of folks had issues with both their pistols and their rifles, apparently, with most of the rifles being used being ARs. I'm kinda curious how my ARs would have fared under those circumstances. My SHTF AR hasn't really gotten any kind of rough treatment in terms of conditions. I really haven't had enough ammo to be able to run it through its paces at all. Bad timing on getting my first 5.56mm weapon (panic had already begun). I do recall in college that the M-16A2s would sometimes have issues in the cold weather where I was at. |

With a shorter barrel and some of the lightweight parts (FN or DSA), the weight can be cut down to a surprising degree. Galils do seem to be pretty heavy for something shooting an intermediate cartridge. |

Galils do seem to be pretty heavy for something shooting an intermediate cartridge. Yup, Galils...even the stubby ones, are way too heavy for what they are. I agree on the Galils. Most people don't know this, but the AK-47 was designed for use as a sub-machinegun. That is what the Russians were trying to produce. The fact that Russian Ammunition manufactureses largely utilized soft steel cored FMJ projectiles in order to save cost, cause those Ruskies to come up with all kinds of crazy rounds, mostly in 7.62 and 9mm. The fact that steel core projectiles are lighter than lead FMJ of the same size required many of their cartridges tk be loaded very hot. Think 9mmx21, they needed the extra powder. Due to this reoccurance of high pressure rounds the Russians made a lot of firearms that were heavier than their eastern counterparts. This is especially true in many of their pistols. And Sub-Machineguns. This is the story of how the Russians designed a weapon with sub-machinegun characteristics which often weigh about the same as U.S. fielded .30 caliber rifles of that time. |

So, upon finding this article on the CAR-15, I have decided to revisit the 10-5 vs. 11-5 controversy once again. HERE WE GO...
I'll take the 100FPS gain, as theoretical as some may believe it to be. I have better performance at ranges over 200M with my 11-5's than I do with my MK-18 and 10-5 LMT MRP. I still love them all. It's just that 11-5 is a little better. I am currently running a Geissele Super Duty and a COLT SOCOM Barreled HRT Clone w/ BCM Upper and LMT Enhanced BCG for 11-5s. I ALSO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, THESE FIREARMS ARE PURPOSE BUILT CQB WEAPONS. I just like and feel more confident, that I can fairly effectively utilize my 11-5's out to 300M.

How do you misspell my username in a quote that automatically copies my username?  Also, criticism of wikipedia for serious discussion of accurate data is well founded. |

Also, criticism of wikipedia for serious discussion of accurate data is well founded. That data is actually accurate. I did some looking into that CAR-15 Program. It is an interesting topic of conversation. I'm trying to find some data sourced directly from Colt that I can cut and paste. And, it's seemingly the predecessor to the MK18. If anyone onsite has one, I'd love to see images.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M-4matus: I agree on the Galils. Most people don't know this, but the AK-47 was designed for use as a sub-machinegun. That is what the Russians were trying to produce. The fact that Russian Ammunition manufactureses largely utilized soft steel cored FMJ projectiles in order to save cost, cause those Ruskies to come up with all kinds of crazy rounds, mostly in 7.62 and 9mm. The fact that steel core projectiles are lighter than lead FMJ of the same size required many of their cartridges tk be loaded very hot. Think 9mmx21, they needed the extra powder. Due to this reoccurance of high pressure rounds the Russians made a lot of firearms that were heavier than their eastern counterparts. This is especially true in many of their pistols. And Sub-Machineguns. This is the story of how the Russians designed a weapon with sub-machinegun characteristics which often weigh about the same as U.S. fielded .30 caliber rifles of that time. AK47 was designed as a sub machine gun. The SKS was to be the infantry rifle CD |

That's the problem, he's enabling the eating of our own. He could be so much better by refraining from enabling the toxicity with the GD esque shit posting. |
