First for you're all big gay.

>>63947880
Rude

>>63947891
Yeah, sorry. I'm grumpy cause I have to go to the store and get food.

>>63947897
That's the only thing I've done today

>>63947897
I hate going grocery shopping every sunday.

I too have to go food shopping at some point. First gym though.

>>63947911
i got 5 bags of granola for 1.50 each today

>>63947873 (OP)
Just got a few hammy 3d prints cheek risers the cost of one of the irregular defense cheek risers. Anyone have any thoughts on hammy’s stuff?

>>63947911
the fred meyer / kroger delivery service is goaded. i think i pay $70 a year which is like $5 a month. all my groceries show up bagged on my doorstep. fuck shopping its a complete waste of time.

>>63947933
I don't gym on Sundays, too crowded. Weekdays only.

>>63947953
He's a good guy it's just he uses lower end 3d printers so his print quality doesn't look nearly as good as emissary development, driven arms co etc.

>>63947956
what you dont want to stand around for 10 minutes and lose your pump because some zoomie is sitting in the rack scrolling instagram?

>>63947960
Thanks, and eh… Looks don’t really matter to me desu. Do you know if the build material is at least mid-quality? Idk shit about 3d printers or the materials used

>>63947962
idk i find them to be unusable on saturday and sunday is pretty empty

>>63947911
I forgot bacon bits so I have to go back later. They had these 12 packs of some beer for $5 so I bought a bunch. Sometimes things work out in unexpected ways.

>>63947994
Tanks fren. Appreciate the insight

>>63947981
risers are nice
optic is qd so irons can be used
besides that yeah your write

>>63947981
thats just like your opinion, man.

>>63948026
people spout the QD bullshit but every time ive removed QD optics they shift by 4+ inches at 100. i guess if it's an emergency only thing it's fine?

but if its genuinely an emergency you wont have time to look down and fumble with levers.

>>63948046
Yeah you will

>>63948046
if you're using irons then you probably won't be putting it back on until you can get new batteries/get a new optic

>>63948033
collapse the stock and pull the charging handle all the way back

>>63948046
>every time ive removed QD optics they shift by 4+ inches at 100
What absolute trash ass qd system are you using? On my SPR I remove my scope on a larue qd mount every time I put it in the safe since it doesn't fit with it on and at most it's a half moa difference at 100yds every time I take it out.

>>63948046
elcan and larue mounts have really good RTZ. I can't speak for anything else.

>>63948064
I haven't had any issues with ADM either

My FICO report is considered "very good" in spite of me having less than $40 in available credit. This world is so fake and gay, bros ;~; why shouldn't I take out a massive loan, blow it all on prostitutes and cocaine in Vegas then eat a bullet if I don't win a million dollars

>>63948055
rekt

>>63948072
i saved money for 3 years, paid off credit cards, acted responsible, and my credit score went down. Then i acted like a nigger and bought car i could barely afford at 7% APR, and my credit score instantly shot to 800.

im not lying. 100% real

>>63948086
>Then i acted like a nigger and bought car
Charger? Challenger?

Gonna overcook some steaks. Hell yeah

>>63948092
i dont want to post it cuz ill dox myself :) but it's a really nice BMW. i looked at the hellcat / scatpack etc but theyre just too big and heavy. wanted something light and turbo charged.

>>63948086
That's because your credit isn't based on how good you are with money, it's based on how much they can squeeze out of you without you missing a payment.

>>63947911
Is that a Radial CS-5 suppressor? I have a Radical LS-5 on my Primary Weapons Systems MK111 Pro long stroke external piston upper. It blows people away with how quiet it is. I don't understand why Radical isn't more popular in the silencer world. The rumor is that they are the real manufacturer for a lot of bigger name brands.

This gun is really, really, heavy but it feels and sounds like you're shooting a CO2 gun.

>>63948077
whatever CHUD, you still cant have the riser in the front position. you're too poor for larue RISR

>>63947873 (OP)
-remove gay IRGLR DFNS riser
-put cap in stubby and move 3 pic slots forward
-throw kac irons away
-move light to other side and move sling mount forward
-get a real sling, vickers sucks

>>63947981
irons are just for the +1 ergos

Hello

>>63948193
Those aren’t KAC irons.
t. has KAC irons

>>63947981
>irons you cant even see because the optic is so tall
You take the optic off. Speaking of which, I need to move my irons to another rifle after I figure out who would be willing to cut one additional pic slot for me.

>>63948086
Well duh it's your good goy rating. They want you in debt. Anyways I'm withdrawaling 20k from my retirement paying off a credit card and the rest of my car then simply closing my credit card accounts. Not buying a can though, I'm anti registry. Republicans lied again shocker

>>63948248
>then simply closing my credit card accounts.
Never understood this retard logic. Why not just keep one or two and pay it off monthly?

>>63948116
Correct they are the OEM for a lot of silencer companies

>>63948257
its symbolic, throwing off the yolk of Jewish oppression etc bro

>>63948092
hellcat...? das the new hot thang rown da hoo

>>63948278
fr no cap?

>>63948072
Well it’s pretty much a guarantee that you will lose that money. Probably before you run out of cocaine. Are you really willing to commit to suicide? Most people get there and then chicken out so they just fucked their life up even more and now they have to live with it. Don’t be a retard.

>>63948271
You can literally abuse their system and just get shit like cash back or other rewards while paying them nothing in interest

>>63948099
did you get something cool like an e30 or nah

>>63948286
They charge shops a credit card fee, it's not good for the mom and pop shops desu. You give them cash so they can lie on their taxes and avoid the credit card fees

>>63948099
For me it was an FD RX7

>>63948291
>it's not good for the mom and pop shops
Ok, have cash for the two of those you probably go to and fuck over the bigger places. Still not seeing an issue

>>63948207
What barrel length is that? URX 14.5?

>>63948302
you arent arguing with people who do their own shopping

I like talking to the old slav lady at kroger she calls me handsome.

Uh just plants some fucking veggies in your back yard and go to tractor supply and buy a fuck ton of baby chickens and stop giving the jew money

>>63948407
Nah I'm good

>>63948407
If those veggies were weed you could probably make a nice living.

>>63948257
retards who have literally 0 self control. You should be making 100% of your non-cash purchases with s credit card to get the rewards points/air miles or whatever. Just treat it like your checking account and pay it down weekly.

>>63948248
Not OP, but I only use credit cards because I need a good credit score to buy a house, otherwise I wouldn’t have any either. I despise debt, it makes you enslaved. I’m really wanting to buy 10 acres of land so I can shoot and farm. But just getting the down payment is hard enough.

>>63948394

Farming some corn, green beans, squash and zucchini’s and putting it up for the winter will save me a lot of money, it’s what my grandparents do. I’ve been trying to find someone who know how to hunt wild boars so he can teach me, putting up some meat would also help a lot. Right now I just shoot a few squirrels.

I'm back from the range. Shooting during a thunderstorm
My gas block is dogshit. I need to rebarrel this thing asap. Failure to feed galore, denting my brass

>>63948585
Why boar in particular? Do they not have deer or turkeys where you live?

>>63948613
What upper is it?

>>63947873 (OP)
to grip or not to grip

I keep trying to use vertical grips, but every time I keep reverting to just taking it off. I tried the magpul MVG, and hated it so much. I was using a seekins sp3rv3 rail on a long gun at the time. the flat bottom on those rails is amazing and makes it super easy to lay over shit to stabilize the gun, unfortunately they dont make shorter versions so when I got my 11.5 I just use a mcmr, and tried the bcm 89 degree gunfighter thing, and its great for controling recoil and comfy to access my tapeswitch for my light/laser, but when it comes to actually taking accurate shots i find it hard to balance the gun for longer shots. when I am shooting [redacted] the gun gets really hot and I grip my whole hand on the vertical girp, but if I just wear a glove i dont even need it.

Why are vertical grips so popular despite not really adding much utility? there has to be something im missing, right? are these just a fad that wont die?

my current setup is similar to picrel, but I have a bcm on it and might take it off

Literally anything I can spit that far.

>>63948697
>150 yards easy

iron sights

>>63948660
On paper that should be a pretty well gassed upper, surprised you're having issues. Are you using a reduced port BRT gas tube or something?
And why do you suspect your gas block as the issue? Also what lower, does everything manually cycle smoothly?

>>63948743
>Are you using a reduced port BRT gas tube or something?
No, just a standard tube
>Why do you suspect your gas block as the issue?
I'm 99% sure it was reinstalled canted a few degrees counter-clockwise in the process of removing the gas block to install the Daniel Defense rail.
>Also what lower, does everything manually cycle smoothly?
Just a white label lower I put together. The cam pin is a little stiff but nothing else out of the ordinary. Probably just a heavy buffer spring. I'm getting brass markings on the deflector at the very tip

>>63948626
There are lots of deer, yea. It’s just that there are a lot of boar, and they’re an invasive species, so I figured it would be eat to remove them. Honestly would be happy with either, but unfortunately no one in my family hunts.

>>63948816
Deer are for hunting, boar are for killing. What captcha mean by this?

Do any of you actually do drills? What do you do?

>>63948816
If you don't farm then it isn't your problem. If it was as much of a problem as farmers say then they wouldn't charge you to hunt on their property. They would pay you for tails.

>>63948922

>>63948585
>>63948816
hunting boar cant be that hard especially since ive heard they are very aggressive
just go where they are and kill them before they kill you

the problem is i have heard boar are filled with parasites and are terrible for eating
i think some states offer free testing of boars to see whether or not they are good to eat but you cant rely on services like that forever

>>63948961
>kill them before they kill you
I'm not going to google it but I don't think anyone gets killed by boars.

>>63948979
I can think of a few

>>63948988
kek I almost posted him.

>>63948095
You and I aren't so different. I pray to join your side in the next /arg/ screen cap

>>63948979
do boar run from people then?
i have always heard they are very aggressive and will try to attack you if you are anywhere near them
i have never met a boar though what do i know

>>63948656
One could argue weather conditions. If your gun is sopping wet and or you are raiding diddy's house a handbrake/ v grip could be helpful.

I feel you on the balancing act though, I have a 14.5 with the bcm grip and yeah it can be a pain depending on what you're using for support

>>63948874
The glove might not fit but his asshole did

>>63949048
>do boar run from people then?
Yes but not all the time.

>>63949024
Only images posted in specially marked [FF] threads are considered within the open submission period. Your next opportunity will be this Friday [week 02]

>>63948656
Mostly because SOF guys advocate for a vertical grip, because when you're kicking in doors and there could be a dude waiting next to the door, a vfg makes it much harder to take from your hands.

>other
It depends on the build.

>>63949070
I like vfg for sbr and hand stop for longer guns

>>63948656
Competitive shooters don’t use foregrips.
They also generally aren’t gizmo maxxing their SBRs.
If it helps you use it.
If it doesn’t don’t.
It actually is that simple.

>>63947873 (OP)
The MK18 would be the perfect rifle if it had a carry handle. You can go from irons to optic in less than a fraction of a second with a permanent carry handle setup. Just lower your cheek hold half an inch to get to irons. It would be literal perfection.

>>63949080
>other

what is the "other" foregrip

>>63949181
ubl
masterkey
tac-sac

>>63949181
Other as in vfg on some and no grip on others. It's a stupid question.

>>63949163
Wait til you learn about the Unity T2 mount or the elcan with integrated iron sights

>>63949208
but that one is tall i cant possibly work with that

>>63949245
Yeah because a carry handle isn’t

>>63949254
Jeepers.

>>63949254
A carry handle is exactly iron sight height. A Unity T2 mount is 2.3" tall, and an A2 carry handle height is 1.5".

Nearly an inch shorter. I don't want to have to crane my neck up a thousand feet to see my optic like you guys do with your 17 risers lmao

>>63949295
uhhhh who's gonna tell him?

>>63949070
people sleep on hog saddle barrier pads

>>63949306
Tell him what? That you're a gay retard?

>>63949295
Preach brotha. Kids these days don't realizing.

>>63949163
Now unless you're using a gooseneck mount how high do you thing that optic is going to be on a carry handle?

>>63949295
The math maths out, I guess. Should A2 uppers be the new meta? A built out MK18 with an A2 upper would probably look super slick, and very utilitarian.

afg's have negative aura.

>>63949341
An inch shorter than a unity mount. The mini acog mounts have a sight window cutout, and the optic sits literally less than a cunthair on top of the iron sight window.

>>63949343
No, just get a C7. A2 sights would be a waste

>>63949354
So just like a t2 on top of a unity mount? Now look up the height over bore of that acog on top of a carry handle

>>63949343
>The math maths out
Yeah if you round in both directions.

>>63949354
>a full inch shorter
no

>>63949370
Oof

>>63949352
You lost all aura when you dropped the elcan. That build was the only thing you did right. Everything before and after was a mistake.

>>63949370
You have it on a pic rail adapter. I am speaking specifically about mini acog mounts.

>>63949385
mini acogs are shit and you are a retard for even SUGGESTING someone use iron sights on a serious fighting rifle.

>>63949385
Height over bore is measured at the center line of the optic and you're claiming it's an inch shorter than a unity mount which is simply not the case

>>63949401
>>63949400
>>63949370

>>63949401
>pic
What the fuck

>>63949400
Mini acog mounts are universal for many different optics, including most prism optics. And NO! Mini acogs are based and cute and awesome and rad

>>63949408
im not arguing about optic height, im just saying mini acogs are stupid and irons are shit.

>>63949410
nta but visualize a half inch in your mind. Think about it. Would you need to be a giraffe to see something a half inch higher? Can you envision not having to get as low as possible on your optics? What would you do if you didn't have breakfast next morning?

>>63949418
But I did have breakfast this morning...

>>63949421
Yeah and you can thank my tax dollars for it.

This massive embarrassment could have been avoided by just googling the Unity T2 mount.
Some of you aren’t even retarded you’re just incapable of even the most minimum amount of initiative or self directed task.

the way to make your rifle more efficient is to make yourself more efficient.

>>63949487
Seems easy enough. I just looked into cerakote but it seems a bit more involved than i feel like doing right now. Id need to get a spray gun and a small oven and it just sounds like a hassle. Krylon it is.

>>63949476
Miniacog what is the difference between the 2 babycogs? Theyre both 1.5 but they have different objectives. Is one just an older model they havent discontinued yet?

>>63949576
The two models they have in 1.5x is the TA44, and the TA45. The TA44 is a 1.5x16, and the TA45 is a 1.5x24.

The TA44 has a super wide FOV, and the TA45 has really long eye relief. The TA45 is best for CQB environments.

>>63948046
just admit you use dogshit mounts

>>63949627
>posts the worst ones

Figured this would be one of the best places to ask. I recently build a rifle and have extreme difficulty pushing the rear takedown pin in and out to the point i need a hammer and punch to do so. The pin will slide in (with some force) to roughly the end of the upper's hole but won't move into the other side of the lower. I think the upper is just barely canted to the right and that's what's impeding it.
It's a major pain since I have the cucked lower deluxe with a permanently installed mag forcing me to open the thing up to reload unless I want to drill out a mag catch myself. Any suggestions on fixing this? Maybe sanding the pinhole on the upper or lower?

>>63949597
It seems the ta 44 has more options. Im not sure how useful a bdc is at 1.5x but i guess it would be cool on a pdw or pcc.
I think the ta44 looks cooler but you always halve to balance vibes with results.

>>63949641
i've tested the RTZ on all the ARMS mounts i've used, windage has always been dead on and elevation is within 1/4 MOA. if they're not returning to zero you either didnt install them right (push the recoil lugs all the way forward in the slot) or your rail is out of spec

My Elcan is missing. Spent the whole day turning my place upside down doing a full spring cleaning, checked the parts bin storage in the shed dodging big ass black widows & even drove to my parents to check their gun safe. I'm honestly fucking baffled how it could just disappear. I recall it sitting on my PC for the longest time.

Plot twist. You never had an elcan. You imagined the whole thing as a coping mechanism.

>>63949803
I just ordered all the parts for my first ar. Part of it was wanting something with more ammo and speed than my lever action/bolt action guns. Seeing args cool builds also made me want one. Now I wait.

>>63949024 see >>63949836 for pic rel.

This is my main and 2nd AR. Anderson lower (RIP) and BCM upper.

My first AR was a mystery meat made by a local gunshop

who makes a good "fixie" style upper (14.5, mid length, fsb) other than munitionworks?

Weird combination. It won't take a bayonet and I'm pretty sure hipsters are all about that shit.

TA02 is the best mount. Why have integrated irons in your mount when you can have an integrated 4X prism with pristine glass in your mount

>>63951063
Fakecog TA31s work well because the fiber optic is reliable if assembled correctly, which most seem to be. TA02s don't work as well because their electronics always fail. You can almost always bet the chinks are gonna skimp out on the electronics and they always do. I had one and it ate batteries in a day whether it was on or off. Eventually they will fail altogether. You also have to be weary of reticle rotation which happens on all models of fakecogs. I don't really recommend a TA02, stick with the fake TA31s

>>63951644
Does anyone even use the illumination in their ACOGs?
I would like an ACOG that doesn't use any illumination, like a TA01 or whatever the designation is, and a forward mounted top dot. Well idk if I'd actually like it but I'd be willing to try it. The current ACOG lineup just doesn't do it for me.

I am doing a study for GQ on preferred AR15 barrel lengths on /k/. You may have several barrel lengths you like equally, and that is fine, but unfortunately you have to pick ONE. This study is based solely off of what people like, and nothing else, how you decide is up to you. If you have a barrel length that is extremely close, but not quite the same as one listed, please just select that barrel length, and bitch about how your 10.542069" barrel wasn't listed in the thread. If you have something that is not close enough to one of the listed lengths and is truly contrarian, please select other and specify. The end result will be posted in 48 hours in the GQ thread.

Hey /arg/ I've been trying to swap out my triangular handguard cap for a round one but despite my best efforts I can't seem to get the FSB pins to budge. They're getting hit in the correct direction but they're stuck fast. Any suggestions to try and free then? Maybe some penetrating oil? Should I just chuck the upper at a local gunsmith?

>>63952549
I had the same problem with an LMT barrel
my advice is don't do it. leave the triangle cap

>>63948099
sup

>>63952537
buy an ad nigger I don't care
>>63952549
Hit them harder. Do you have an FSB bench block (or a piece of wood in the appropriate shape) to rest the FSB on? Use a 5lb hammer and a good punch. If you have a press you can use that in combination with an FSB bench block as well

>>63952553
Yeah but I need a circle to put the quad rail on it. Can't complete my A4gery without that.

>>63952566
So you dont shoot and you dont know how to work on your gun. Aigoo

>>63952578
who are you? I have removed many FSB's, hence my advice you fucktard

>>63952568
Soak in penetrating oil for a few days, then spray brake cleaner on it, dry it and heat up the pins with a blowtorch

>>63952587
Noted

>>63952587
The penetrating oil really won't do much beyond a few hours of soaking, it really doesn't have to be left long. Only time you need to let a solvent sit like that is with incredibly hard materials

>>63952587
You only need penetrating oil to bust thru rust, there's no point unless the FSB in question has been sitting in a swap. Also don't hear the pins, that'll just make them tighter (although heat cycling can be useful, you need to wait and let them cool down), you would have better luck hearing the FSB itself.
>>63952566
Oh yeah, and use one of those punches with a concave tip to avoid mushrooming out the pins

>>63952598
>>63952587
To add to this: much of the penetrating oil will evaporate from the tight critical areas you want them to soak in with that timeframe because of their volatility

>>63952610
Roll pin punches?

>>63952611
It doesn't matter cause oil won't do anything. The clearances are already so tight between the gas block and barrel it's not like there will be any rust there (unless the rest of the barrel is already visibly rusty).

I broke a 3/32" brass punch trying to remove my FSB pins.

>>63952620
no those are the opposite (have a convex tip for staying seated on roll pins). You want a concave tipped. Something like this:
https://ads.gunmagwarehouse.com/grace-usa-starter-short-pin-punch-set.html
Starter punches are great for FSB removal in general, as you can hit them a lot harder without bending.
>>63952637
and obviously the punches need to be a harder material than the pins, so get steel not brass or other "non marring" types

>>63952626
Penetrating oil isn't just for rust, it's meant to lubricate by penetrating narrow spaces, which is why you can use it in very tight, scuffed up threads.

>>63952643
I have destroyed many starter punches desu

>>63952637
FSB pins are usually really tough to get out you need steel.

i am tired and going insane
:(

>>63952666
That's all a bunch of nonsense

>>63952668
i'm serious, i'm exhausted and losing my sanity

>>63952644
Taper pins are just that, taper pins. Basically smashed into place so there's practically no gap for lubrication to ingress in the first place. And since they're tapered, once you get it knocked loose just that tiny bit it's easy peasy to get the rest of the way out and the extra lubrication doesnt really matter.

Sweet. The c clip on my ejection port cover pin broke from a fall, so now I have to install a new one.
Not looking forward to it because I haven't built my new workbench, and I hope I don't need my vice to hold the upper to unscrew the handguard. Enjoy the beer, nigga-san

>>63952722
>workbench, and I hope I don't need my vice to hold the upper to unscrew the handguard.
you don't need to do any of that shit nigga what you talking about. Just pop on a new c-clip (I used a random one from the hardware store before eventually buying some correct AR-15 ones).

>>63952740
Doesn't it have to be around that small cut in the pin? Can't push it out far enough to see it unless I take off the handguard. I want you to be right so bad because it'll turn a 20 minute job (without a vice) into perhaps a 1 minute job

>>63952755
>Doesn't it have to be around that small cut in the pin?
Yes, but I mean you should still have enough space to get the clip on it. If there wasn't space for it then the clip wouldn't have stayed on in the first place. Just push the rod as far forward as possible (such that it's butted to the handguard)
>I want you to be right
I've had to replace a couple c-clips that way and it worked just fine. Unless there's something weird about your particular parts combo

>>63952784
Nah maybe PSA is retarded but not their hex rail doesn't leave enough clearance to move to the c-clip cut into a spot I can place it. Luckily their handguard is nothing to wrote home about either

>>63952841
That doesn't make any sense.
How was the clip installed in the first place if there's no room for it?
