I still have a trigger spring in my bolt release on one gun, but I did get another trigger spring so the gun functions correctly.

When you guys say trigger spring you mean disconnector spring.

Yes that's what I mean. The bolt wouldn't catch on an empty mag. The fire control group worked fine. Put a new bolt release spring and roll pin in there and it worked fine in my house. Haven't shot it yet to see if the bolt locks back after firing.

Got my first AR in...

A CMMG bargain bin 18" that's almost entirely CMMG. CMMG lower, CMMG collapsing buttstock, CMMG upper... it all pairs nicely!

And I have 2 naked stripped lowers. One will have a CAR A4 kit from RRA 16" with stainless barrel that should be here soon.

The other will have a Del-Ton kit with a couple YHM parts and stainless barrel.

Once those are all put together, it's time to get another stripped lower and go from scratch. I'm thinking it'll take me a while to save up for it, but I really want to go for the LaRue Stealth 20" complete upper and stripped stealth lower.

But we'll see what happens when these are all done.

No Magpul FDE MBUS rear sights ANYWHERE?!?!?! Are you kidding me? Arrrggghhh...

They've probably run out of the old style and haven't released the new style.

there was a problem with the black sights and copyright laws or something

Rear FDE MBUS are pretty easy to find online. Give Advanced Tactical Solutions a call (Shelton). He has them. Bunch of them on Gubroker and Ebay, too.

MBUS FDE rear site in stock, not hard to find.

Thanks... looked for an hour on the interweb last night and couldn't find anything, but it helps to know where to look I suppose.

My SBR as it was last year.

As cool as that is...what's w/ the bipod?

Its used to help stabilize the gun when shooting from a bench or in a prone position

Umm, yeah...I know what a bipod is. I hope you're being facetious. The question to him was, "what is the purpose of a bipod on a 7" AR?"

March has been a great month... and a terrible one all at the same time. First, I ended up getting an 18" cmmg bargain bin and added a decent bushnell red dot to it. Then added to the 2 RRA lowers I had. First I added a complete LAR A4 kit from RRA and placed MOE furniture from head to tilt with a removable carry handle. Then I finished my second stripped lower with a Del-Ton kit with YHM quad rail, flip up front sight, then added the matching YHM BUIS. Got lots of mags of different colors to suit each one. Then, the camera broke so I took these pics with my digital camcorder. Finally, while driving home one day, all the stuff flipped out of my trunk and landed in a river. Exhaustive search revealed they were indeed lost. Oh well, guess I'll have to go build another, the right way this time...

CMMG bargain bin 18"- all CMMG with chrome lined barrel...



Then RRA CAR A4 with chrome lined barrel with MOE goodies...





Then the Del-Ton kit with lots of YHM and some LaRue clips on the rail... It was waiting for some optics.




Oh well, I guess a good cigar will keep me company tonight. All in all, a CRAZY March for sure!

Nice looking rifles!

I got some Midway GCs for my birthday, so a new Geiselle SSA trigger is on its way to me for Sandy! I can't wait to try it out. They ran a special with a free cap, so I couldn't pass it up!

Recently finished mine, nothing to fancy but it is a start. Now I want to build a .308

Nice updates. Great looking rifles.

Please recommend a good trigger for my Remington VR-15. I don't care for the trigger pull and want to change it out.

Thanks,

Geissele SSA.

Thanks Log!

What's the verdict on the mbus rear sights? I am interested but can't get over a plastic back up sight.

Brad06, thats a great upper. Had one just like it back in 1982...fastest thing around.

The Magpul BUIS are very wellmade and hold up fine. I have a friend who has a set that came of a rifle that was wrecked by a VBID. Colt-0, Magpul BUIS-1.

Spike's stripped lower for $80 and free shipping.

just sayin'.

Went out shooting last night for the first time in forever... damn that was fun. Might have to buy some more ammo and mags, because it disappears too fast!

bump for the recent AR traffic.

This thread hasn't had regular traffic in a while...

My 20" Bull in it's current configuration(playing with the camera, should have wiped the gun down better)






Some of last Friday's range day groups

Fiocchi 69gr Match





Some Cheaper Hornady ammo.

Here is a fat doe I took with one of mine. Note the entrance wound in the second pic. Just north of the right nostril.

This thread needed a return to the top!

Well done!

Yup, thanks for bumping this. My research and snail's-pace parts acquisition for my build needed the kick start!

Given the political climate surrounding "high capacity magazines," who's got the best deal on 20 & 30-rounders for ARs. I've got an S&W M&P15 if that matters at all.

I only own one factory magazine that came with the gun and I'd like to pick up about 10 more if they're never going to be available again.

I suggest the pmags. You can determine if you think the windowed version is something you need.


Also the C-products mags are decent (esp for $7.98).

The pmags can be loaded up and kept loaded with no fear of the feed lips spreading (if the included dust cover is snapped in place).

Natchez is running a sale till 1/22. Just picked up some 30's.
