Does anyone know/heard anything about YHM rifles?
I am still new to the Ar15. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to remove the rear peep sight? I want to install an Ameriglo rear sight.
Nordic, I have only heard bad things about YHM.
Nordic,
I have a YHM quad rail and flip-up front site on my carbine, and they are VERY nice parts. I know there are better out there, but for the money, YHM is good stuff.

Nothing wrong with YHM. Their stuff is heavier than others, maybe not as sleek looking. But its all rock solid. They make very good quality and nicely priced suppressors as well.
If you want to pay more...buy A.R.M.S. or GG&G. But YHM will get it done.
YMMV.

I am not a fan of the AR 15. The 5.56mm round is just too weak.
Well, you might want to learn to love it, 'cause it's what you get to use, being in the Army. Tap Haji in the noggin, and he won't care what you hit him with.
Gigem is trolling and buy the double star from robbie at a dallas or houston show.

Is this robbie going to be at the Fort Worth gun show this weekend?
Looking to get an AR15.
Need some help on what brands to STAY AWAY FROM as well as GOOD TO BETTER brands to consider without POing the wife tooo much with the $$$.
Thanks

Just read that Robbie doesn't like the gun show that will be in Ft Worth this weekend. He'll be in Houston.

Personal opinion I stay away from Model 1 and Olympic. Saw a 4 month old Model 1's bolt snap in half and heard enough bad reviews about Olympic to shy away from them. Most other brands are good to go, such as Rock River, Colt, Stag, Bushmaster, S&W, DPMS and others. DPMS and S&W support the shooting sports a lot so I look to buy from them first.
Edit: Just saw you got identical advice on who to avoid in a thread below.

THANK YOU for the info - I will look at others besides those 2.
Thoughts on the RRA 6.8SPC mid-length complete uppers? $490 w/o adding a free float tube to it.
do you reload?
Not yet. My old man has everything to reload. I'd just have to get the specific bits for the 6.8.
lemme know how the M1S works out for you...
If any of you guys are shopping and happen across an Armalite AR-10 upper rcvr w/ bcg, I would appreciate a heads up.
I've got a rifle on order from GA Precision but their lead time (waiting for components from Armalite) extends uncomfortably into '09. So I took out a little insurance by landing a stripped lower... now if I can find an upper I might just mail it to them and see if I can cut to the front of the line! If not I've got the makings for a backup.

Centerpole, forget GAP and have JP build you an upper.

I'd like to think there will be no ban, but I sure feel like a boob not picking up some of those $99 lowers from places like Bud's a couple months back or more of the bargain bin rifles.
No real point to this post, just thinking out loud. Always tend to feel like this whether is $9 boxes of .45 at Wal-mart (from last Spring) or stuff like this.

TXAGFAN,
i know what you mean. i am still kicking myself for not picking up an additional case of the 2.99 boxes of 7.62x39 from last month.

If you're looking for 7.62 x 39, they are going for $25.95 per 100 rounds for 125 gr. soft point or $27.95 for 123 gr. hollow point near me.
Even better for 500 rnds or 1000 rnds

Where are you getting those prices?
ammunitiontogo.com
They are located about 5 miles from me. Excellent folks to deal with and great prices especially if you drive in to pick it up.

Anyone ever heard of SLR15 lowers? they look normal but seem to be much cheaper than the stuff i see selling on ar15.com. Am i making some mistake getting one for my 6.8 build?
also, who is JP from an earlier post? I was hoping to buy an upper receiver with a 16 or 18" 6.8 SS barrel already set up but can't find one on any of the normal websites.
