Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles school me please, about to spend money.

Or just spend like 10 minutes on google finding out how an AR operates. Buffers, gas tubes and blocks, BCGs, mag release, etc. You can go much more in depth after you have one but they are easier to put together than my kids lego sets. I bought a $9 lower vise block and a $8 wrench on fleabay, a couple of roll pin punch sets, and everything else was stuff that I had. Seriously, watch that video that I posted.

8 handles up to 80gr.

As far as I'm concerned, 9 is a junk twist. Most of 9s will handles 77s, but some won't. Especially if you get into Sierra TMK and the like.

If you are going to assemble your own. A pair of 10" or 12" Knipex smooth jaw pliers are your best friend with Role Pins.

Or a set of these:

Four pages and no one has suggested a 2 pin build to poor Kenneth!

Buy a complete lower, PSA (Palmetto State Armory) usually has 2 or 3 on Daily Deals.
This will need to go to a FFL, like any lower or complete rifle.
Buy the lefty complete upper from Stag or wherever....

Pivot pin, take down pin and your ready to shoot.

Except you should clean it first to remove any manufacturing grease or oil and oil it with something good like Lucas or Slip 2000.

Of course to clean it right you will need to dis-assemble the BCG (Bolt Carrier Group) and re-assemble it. Watch a YouTube video.....

Got them. So much faster and easier with Knipex

that was no big deal, like I said, Junior walks in carrying his new one, We cleaned it, ordered optics and here we are......

Actually, this is all his fault.


A two pin build? Ok, I'm catching on, but why do a 2 pin?

lower cost, more choices?

Everything is done for you. Put upper on lower, push in pins and go have fun.

Choices.

But AR building is also about watching for bargains.

Or in the above example, Stag lower is a lot more than the PSA lower, so it's a discounted way to get a left handed AR.

Seriously, if you can change a tire, you can build an AR lower. It's really that easy. I get the apprehension if it't not something you've ever done, but even the most basic skills will give you a functioning gun. Your other option is to just spend more money up front, then more money after when you want to change stuff that you have to learn how to change anyways.

If you can't assemble AR's you have zero mechanical abilities. They really are super simple.

Save time, money and brain matter, buy yourself a 16" PSA 7 twist mid-length and have fun, 55's to 75's are yours for the taking.

It too was plainly cited.

Hint...............

It isn't weight,it's length and there's no such thing as "too much" RPM,in a Krunchenticker.

Hint.

You've been repeatedly led to water.

Re-hint...............

I actually understood this.....except for the krunechingthinger or what ever..

Thanks?

I could order a '15 TONITE, if I could make up my mind on a lefty or righty....

A lefty would cost several hundred more, and twist options are more limited.....

decisions decisions.......

Is your sons a lefty? Did you shoot it?

Junior bought the RH Bushmaster home last weekend, He is righthanded,

My other Son is LH has so am I.

I have not shoot juniors righthanded Bushmaster,

There at least 3 or 4 '15s that I could smile about right now, RH version though...

The Lefty dilemma is whats causing the traffic jam here.....

You've been repeatedly led to water.

Re-hint...............

The kit in your link was sold out yesterday,

pick another,,,,

Did you have a woody for that SS barrel?? otherwise other kits are still on sale.

The "wylde" chamber an important feature?
