Really, does it make that much difference to use an Anderson $35 lower vs. a Colt $90+ lower? I think the Colt is overrated and the Anderson will do just as well as pretty much any other one would.

Ummm....Why in the world would they make fun of your Hawaiian Shirt Camo rifle?

I REALLY LIKE extended takedown pins, but the only steel ones I could find for a .308 had stupid keyrings through them. These pins are a real bitch to pull out, so I ditched the jingle keyrings and added a length of gutted paracord. The BEST extended takedown pins are YHM, but they don't make a...

Thanks! I think the essence of a rattle can camo job is in the imperfections. If we want perfect, we have @FatAlbert do it. I hate that most ambi safeties always ride on the knuckle of my finger, so whenever possible, I flip them around the other way on the right side. Or I file the fucker...

Exactly what I did. Laundry bags are like $1 at Wal Mart, so nobody cried over it. And I CAREFULLY taped over the knobs on the scope, and removed the iron sights first. Didn't bother taking off the HG on either one, and even sprayed the 16" BCG through the port because I haven't bothered to...

My 80% .308, with 20" heavy barrel and lightweight 16" barrel, before rattlecan camo And after... In this last pic you can see where the paint bubbled and peeled off the scope. Weird, because it did that when I applied a coat of satin clear after all the other coats had dried, and it only got...

Dammit. Keep an eye on them, they'll be back, likely after the election...

well, looks like I killed this thread...

@lesptr If I was gonna build it, I'd buy THIS. https://karrisguns.com/ar9-9mm-ramped-bolt-carrier-group.aspx $90 9mm BCG that can be used with a LAW folding adapter! If I was gonna stay cheap, I'd also likely buy a cheap pre-built upper with a 7.5" barrel from www.deltateamtactical.com Not...

He's making sweet love to the trigger.

So, given that the 9mm IS cheaper to shoot, if I can find a cheap upper from one of the discount sellers and spend @$200 or so, then it’s a good investment. Right?

Precisely why I built my 10.5” 5.56. It would have been 11.5” but I just couldn’t wait another 8 weeks for a Scionics Barrel. What do you mean by “couldn’t keep the AR9 fed”? And if you have a PCC 9mm, is that a 16”?

I totally do not understand the reference...

And the velocity really falls off too. Totally garbage.

Yeah, I don’t even know why anyone sells those really short barrels for 5.56, at that point the gas system will be struggling to keep up with it, and the uncorking pressure will be stupid. As for over-penetration vs under-penetration, I certainly agree that under is far worse. And this goes...

You need a better muzzle device and a set of balls. But can you fit them in those skinny jeans? :cheer2: My 10.5” 5.56 is just fine with the BRT flash suppressor/blast device. And I agree with @cmshoot about the stress of combat erasing the effects of muzzle blast - of all of us, he’s the...

It suppresses EVERYTHING it comes in contact with

Yeah, if I’m ever going to have to shoot someone, I’d prefer to use a supersonic telephone pole. Everything else is just, well, meh.

I disagree here. You need as much energy as possible to make the bullet expand, which will cause the bullet to stop inside it’s intended target - rather than over penetrating and dumping that energy past the target - possibly into an innocent, but certainly not where it will do the intended...

Well that’s a great question. My initial reason for considering a 9mmP upper was because the 10.5” 5.56 upper I have on my pistol project is just a bit too long to fit in a normal backpack, even though I’ve got a folder on it. So I was thinking about doing the 9mm to replace it as my EDC bag...
