Title: AR picture thread
Post by: superdown on March 29, 2014, 05:37:47 PM
I recently just finished my first AR build and since I have not seen this one yet I figured everyone can crack open their safes and show'em off.I recently upgraded the trigger guard to a magpul enhanced and changed the bushnell ar optic redot to a nikon pro staff 3-9x40 bdc.I also added a mapul moe+grip.  :)

Mine is a 24 inch bull barrel on a New Frontier polymer lower and it's still heavy. It's almost like shooting a 22 mag.

Pretty easy really, you just have to get the chemicals (i.e. Sulfuric acid, cleaner, sealer and dye), a way to control temperatures (i.e. fish tank heaters or kitchen roasters) and a variable DC power supply (i.e. oriley's battery charger or high end DC power supply).

I started doing it on motorcycle stuff, then I got into 80 percent AR's and 10/22's.  It's a lot of fun.

Just about anyone can wind an AR together

A few can finish a 80% rec'r properly

But you sir have set the bar pretty high with doing your own anodizing.

No not for the ar-15. There is some nice rounds that will work in the ar-15 platform but to get to the rounds like 6.5 cred 308 7mm-08 etc. You have to go up to the ar-10 platform.

Here's a pretty cool upper. Seems like a shame to cover it with a Hand guard.

Her's an idea for a new product, clear polycarbonate handguards.  Might be cool.

Not yet, but it could very well still happen.  :tup: It may not end up a 6x45, it may end up a 16" rifle length gas 6.5 Grendel or a 18" rifle length gas American 30. Haven't decided which barrel I'm going to throw on it when the upper and handguard are done being Cerakoted this week.

My wife shooting my AR for the first time.  DPMS A2 lower, Colt H-Bar upper.  The upper is large pin, so it's got a bushing to mate to the DPMS which isn't optimal, but i can hit the 400 yard gong at Fernan every time as it sits.  That got me a thumbs up from the Air Force firearms team leader.

I keep looking at that stripped lower to the right in the Brownells ad...  and thinking about a .300 Blackout type short range deer rifle.  But maybe a Grendel or such would be more practical.  I covet all those flattop uppers and their ease of sight mounting while I'm stuck over here with a carry handle  :chuckle:

I'm sure Zumbo thought he was coming from a point of ethics but in reality, was just as fooled by the aesthetics of the AR platform as the anti gunners are. It's no different than hunting with any other semi-auto, especially in states which have a magazine capacity limit for hunting. I've said it many times before: we hunters need to support any method of legal and ethical hunting regardless of whether you personally practice that method. If you feel strongly enough to lobby for a rules change then go for it. Until that happens, pointing fingers at other hunters just allows the antis time to sit back and watch the fray while we all try to impose our own personal sets of values. It's BS and it hurts us.

Are there thread protector caps available for all of the barrels you put muzzle brakes on, BH? My friend's rifle has a brake and at least one of the ranges around here doesn't allow them. Also, does taking off the brake affect ballistics at all?
Title: Re: AR picture thread
Post by: Biggerhammer on March 31, 2015, 02:28:50 PM
I've never had a issue with shift of impact on my AR's with or without a brake. Yes you can get a knurled threat protecter to go on in place of the muzzle brake. A plain 5/8-24 one off of EBAY is the simplest salution, 10.00 bucks or so for a stainless knurled threat protecter shipped. They fit the Blackhole barrel threads well.

Nice build so far.  Tell the truth.  You went around the house, going "Pew. Pew. Pew."  Didn't you?

The PRS is a heavy beast.  If you are carrying it afield, few things are lighter/nicer than an A2 fixed stock.  But they are easy to change in any event.
Title: Re: AR picture thread
Post by: pianoman9701 on April 01, 2015, 10:46:55 AM
I've been pew, pew-ing all morning since I got the lower done.  :chuckle: Assembling the lower was way easier than I thought it would be. I appreciate the advise on the stock, Flounderz, but I don't think the weight will be a big problem, especially with the SPR barrel. Had I gone with a match barrel, that'd be another story. With the 24" barrel though, I do want some rear weight weight to balance it out a bit. Also, I picture most of my shooting from a fixed position, hunting predators over a field, etc. I want to touch this baby off so badly right now it's not funny. :drool: It's been about a 4 month project.

I can't say enough how much biggerhammer has helped me get into this AR. Without his advise and help, I wouldn't have know where to start and probably would've bought something off the shelf that I wouldn't have been happy with. I got to choose every aspect of this firearm from the color and finish scheme to the specific barrel, stock, bolt carrier, etc. If someone's thinking about their first AR, at least talk to him and get advise on options. For what you pay to buy off the shelf, you can put something better together and do it with your specific needs in mind.

Yeah, that's a huge factor for the popularity.  With so many companies making so many different versions of the parts you can come up with countess unique combinations.  And machining/special tools are not a huge factor if any at all.  The 10-22 has a similar significance due to this.

My Magpul stock was a tough item to find because they're working on a huge Remington project and not supporting their higher end stocks very well. The PRS is out of stock everywhere unless you're willing to pay over $300 for one. AR Parts finder saved my butt this week and I was able to pick one up for $242.00. delivered. http://arpartsfinder.com/ (http://arpartsfinder.com/) It's a very cool resource and I didn't have to register to locate the item.

I have a small pile of crap waiting on the Cerakote work, should be done by Sunday morning. Screw the 6x45 I was planning, went with a 18" American 30.

This is a poor photo, but it is a 6.5 Grendel with an 18" Black Hole barrel, cerakoted by Grizz Precision in Biggerhammer's Terminal Grey. It has a Mega Billet upper with mated handguard, AIM NiB bolt carrier group, Palmetto State lower and Griessele Trigger and a Killer Innovations Brake.
Thanks to Biggerhammer for the advice  and jay.sharkbait at Grizz Precision for the excellent job on the cerakote.

Here is my latest and one I plan on keeping. Palmetto State armory magpul lower that I switched out the grip with a hogue grip and added a magpul bad lever. I have a ALG ACT trigger yet to be installed. PSA upper with 16" 223 wylde stainless fluted match grade barrel with a  midwest industries 15" ssk keymod rail. Magpul mbus front and rear sights. Burris P.E.P.R. QD mount and a Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 Accu-Range scope. I have only shot about 20 rounds for function. The first 5 at 50 yards were about .75" group with bulk 55gr fmj. Looking forward to dialing it in.

One week for the dead paper. I had to get scope risers ordered. As it is, when I open my eyes, I'm looking over the top of the scope. I want it just right before I zero at the range. No sense in having to do it all over again.

Finally got the two parts I needed back from cerakote to complete the assembly pile. I had a chance a couple evenings ago to get it put together. Tried one of the MagPul fixed stocks when I first assembled it, then I changed it out to a carbine stock. Haven't decided which I like better until I shoot it. This one has a BlackHole Weaponry 16", 8 twist , rifle length gas, .264 LBC barrel. The barrel is a lightened "Hammer Flare" contour, the barrel weighs in at 1lb 9.7oz. With the Fortis 12" Rev II handguard, it's slim, light and quick. Here when a distributor gets some of the Leupold patrol optics back in stock, I may go with one on this carbine. The Cerakote is a mix of burnt bronze and graphite black to darken it up.

Recently put this together.  Barrel is an AAC manufactured 9" 300 BLK. 
This upper isn't what's going to be on this lower most of the time, this was mainly an experiment.
Shooting subs, which is all I want this 300 BLK setup for, the can hardly gets warm at all.  Doesn't heat up the hand guard in the least bit. 
The "thwack" when hitting the groundhog from a 187 grn sub is quite loud!   :tup:

On another note, the big fire doesn't seem to have affected any of my groundhog hunting grounds.  There appears to be just as many running around as in previous years.  I'm guessing their hidey holes were deep enough to keep them safe.

I have a bunch of 6.5 Grendel in stock but it's all 123gr A-Max. Having used the Grendel extensively over the years and having shot mulies with the A-Max. I would opt for the Hornady 123gr SST as a hunting load over the A-Max.

We are waiting for a shipment of Hornady 123gr SST ammunition to arrive. With our 6% discount to Hunt WA members and free shipping on orders over $99. It works out to just under a $1.00 a round for the A-Max or SST in Hornady factory loads.

Makes a guy wonder why guys are building 5.56's to shoot the heavier bullet with factory ammo. The cost of heavier match 5.56 ammo is almost always more than 19.00 a box/20. The Grendel with the 123gr A-Max walks all over the heavier 5.56 loads. Performance and energy wise and you can legally hunt with the Grendel/ .264 LBC.

It isn't a canyon burner but it's about as cool 8) as it gets for a .30 Cal on a AR platform. ALittle over 2600fps with a 125gr bullet out of a 18" barrel. I figure it as my solid 300 yard big game AR, past that I'll pick up the 6.5 LBC/ Grendel. I originally built this SPR as a 16" rifle length gas .264 LBC/Grendel. Just couldn't handle that A30 barrel laying on the bench waiting to be built so I swapped the Grendel barrel out for the A30.

Thanks for the info.

I assume you just use 6.8 brass? Any special case forming requirements, or do you just run it in the FL die?

I use a set of .30 Harrett dies and 6.8 SPC brass. One pass through the die which is "Stood off" from the shell holder seeing that the 6.8 case is longer than the Harrett. Then I trim the case to 1.620, load and fire, the first firing blows the shoulder out and sharpens it ever so slightly. No. Noticeable difference so for between first fired loads and reloaded brass already fired through my chamber. Fairly forgiving chambering so far. Reminds me of a 6x45 for ease of loading and load development.

So far that American 30 is wanting to shoot. I used a box of Sierra 125gr Pro-Hunters to get a feel for it and put some rounds on the barrel. I've fired a 90 some rounds now using H335 and AA2200, the bullet is way short and I'm wondering if there is a stability issue with the Sierra and the 11 twist, no matter. I didn't plan on using them anyway. They shoot tight at 100 & 200 yards and open up to a average of 4" inches of so at 300 yards, I haven't shot any beyond that. Now that I have fired cases, I'll go with my bullet of choice the 125gr Nosler Accubond. It is quite a bit longer for weight than the Sierra.

Plan on also trying RL-7. Switched the stock out, replaced the fixed MagPul stock with a ACS-L which gives me a much better hold and adjustment for when shooting between min & max power with the optics.

Spikes Tactical AR-15 pistol with a 7" barrel
SGW or Olymipc Arms AR-.45acp with a PNW lower using 30 round grease gun mags. I have since changed the upper receiver to a flat top
White Stag standard AR-15 carbine
Mega Maten AR-10 carbine
An original Colt SP1 AR-15, it was the very first AR offered to the public by Colt

Think I will bring this back up and add to the mix.

My first build, except for the Anderson receiver & the magazines, I assembled this from 100% ebay purchases.  Probably could have done better on some if I chased parts locally, but just wanted to see if I could...

Caliber is .223 Wylde, barrel is 1:8 spin, 16" SS.

Optics: Nikon P-223 and a laser dot since my eyes are not good enough for open sights.

I just received and added the scope mount this afternoon, which finished it off. Other than five test rounds for function, no idea when I will be able to see what it will do, but thought I would go ahead and share.

Mega Arms....nice. I have a Mega Maten upper and lower for my AR-10. You deserve a thanx for supporting a Washington based business.
  Blacktail, If you got everything off of e-bay. What was the end cost over all? Nothing against you but if you got all that off of e-bay, it makes me a little upset. Because I can not list ANYTHING that says AR or they pull the auction. Or because I try to post things a second time. I got a thirty day ban from posting anything. It makes me upset because what they call a business partner like Brownells, or Midway USA, or even Amozon can post that stuff but you and I can not. That, in my opinion is BS. They tried to tell me it was for safety. Again I call BS. yeah I got a thirty day ban for trying to list things like a stock, buffer tube assembly, Magpul sights. All because I put the key word in the title of AR-15. But Brownells can list with the same buzz word. That really makes me mad. But good for you for getting what you needed for the build. Nice work.

S&W M&P15-22 MOE (love this little plinker-Favorite thing to shoot most of the time)
S&W M&P10 MOE w/AAC SDN-762

I have the bigger rifles set up with the AAC 51T ratchet mount muzzle brakes so I can go from one to the other with just a few quick turns.

The Johny Rifle is in .300BO and the supressor will go on it right from the factory with the 51T flash hider they sell it with. That is what I am really excited for. Thinking I am going to put the new Vortex 1-6 Strike Eagle optic on it when the SBR stamp comes in.

Post by: GrainfedMuley on July 24, 2015, 01:32:43 PM
 F10und3rz, Olympic Arms does make a 10mm barrel and you can use the same grease gun mags. A 10mm round will fit in the grease gun mag. You might have to tweek the feed lips slightly. I have a D-Max 10mm carbine that was manufactured in Auburn Wash. in the early 90's and it uses a grease gun mag. On the .45acp carbine, I went that route because the only other mag used in that conversion is the 16 round Uzi mags. I did not want the limited capacity of 16 rounds and .45acp Uzi mags were not that common back then. Now the 16 round .45acp stamped Uzi mags are hard to find. Because of there rarity, if you do find one, you are going to pay well over $100.00 for the mag. Some guys are using the .41AE Uzi mags and tweeking the feed lips so the .45acp will work. But they are still marked .41AE. If you put together just the upper, you can use it with the lower you already have. Almost all uppers will interchange with almost all lowers. The one lower that will not accept most modern uppers is my older Colt SP1 lower. The push pins are different. You can even go with a 9mm upper to your lower and they are using 30 round Glock 17 mags. Heck for that matter. A company called B.O.H.I.C.A. makes a .50BMG upper you can marry with your lower. That is the cool thing about modern AR's, is all the different calibers you can use in an upper and have only one lower. 300 black out, 6.8, 5.7, 7.62x39, 5.45x39, etc.

jay.sharkbait, what do your lighter carriers run for price?

They are going to be 129.95.

They are polished and TiN coated.

Complete Lightweight BCG's will be 199.95

I'm still working on pricing for standard weight BCG's with satin TiN carriers.

Here's my LH Stag AR. Not too many additions. Would like to eventually build my own as I have a spare barrel, receiver, and bolt, plus misc furniture.

 :tup:

I used the 100gr Hornady's to break the barrel in and get a feel for powders and velocities. I plan on shooting the 90gr Swift Scirocco , their a extremely long for weight bullet. The VLD mags will get the ogive in the right place. A little more room for powder and less compressed loads.

A few " VLD " mags I built from 10 & 20 round Gen3 PMAGS. Loaded with 6x45's and 100gr Hornady BTSP. Gives me a COAL of 3.345. Structurally sound and they run like a champ. 15 rounds when using the twenty and a full ten with the ten round mag.


You just gave me a new idea! You can really hit a 3.345" COAL?

Ahem..... changes some things doesn't it?

2vets arms 2va-15 LRRP. I've now fired this rifle and am absolutely in love with the way it shoots. Makes the Colts and the S&Ws feel clunky. Very smooth action and the side charge makes for clearing a malfunction a dream. ( I haven't had a malfunction, just practicing). I put an eotech on it to shoot it. Now just to slowly sneak some cool guy gear on it. :chuckle:

Just finished this 358 Herrett AR wildcat. It duplicates 35 Remington ballistics, but fits the AR15 platform, and also cycles subsonics suppressed. I machined the barrel from a Green Mountain blank. It uses necked up 6.8 SPC brass, and anything from light 9mm bullets up to heavy 358 bullets, although the main focus was on 180-200gr bullets common for the 35 Rem.

300 Blk on the left, 358 H on the right with 180gr full power and 255gr subsonic loads.

If you can find one. B.O.H.I.C.A. has stopped making they're uppers. Once in a great while you can find a used one on one of the many gun forums. The ATF wants to reclassify the uppers as a destructive device. If that happens you need approval and a tax stamp to own one.  I want one also.

I found this on a Texas gun forum and thought I would share here for everybody to be aware of. I had a similar thing happen to me back in the 90's but a little different.


Weapon Failure - 10/4/15



All, my father was shooting his AR tonight with my mother. Was pretty much dark, decided to shoot some old tracers he had from a gun show for one last mag. He had a misfire, dropped the mag, racked the charging handle a few times, reinserted mag, squeezed the trigger and BAM. Took some shrapnel to the chin, arm (bicep), and stomach. He says it did extract a round when he racked it, but I don't believe he could visually confirm (dark w/ weapon light only). I am betting money that the round he says misfired - when he racked, the bullet itself stayed behind. Upon racking a new round, the old bullet got pushed deeper, upon ignition of the fresh round, the two bullets impacted and pressure built and traveled backwards due to the blockage. Bolt is now lodged in chamber. Upper was a Palmetto State upper, will find out other manufacturer info when I see him in person this coming weekend, and I will try to confirm my thoughts on the root cause. He is a former Ranger, and while he's tough as nails, he doesn't care for technical details.
 He does shoot .22 through this SBR regularly with a conversion kit, but shot a mag of regular .223 through it with no problems before this mag of tracers.
 Lessons learned:
 Always know your gear and ammo
 Wear your safety gear
 Never train/shoot alone

It would depend on for what use you build it. I would say that a longer barrel will help stability for long range shooting. The longer the barrel the more it spins before it comes out the end. But, it's also heavier. If you're using it as a big game hunting platform that you'll be lugging through the woods, you probably don't need 3 twists or the extra weight. Mine was built specifically for coyotes and a fixed position, and it's heavier than most tracked artillery pieces. For under 500 yards, I can't see that it would make a huge amount of difference, especially if you're using factory loads, anyway. I'm sure there are quite a few shooters on here with way more experience who might disagree with what I've written, though.
Title: Re: AR picture thread
Post by: superdown on May 12, 2016, 10:43:44 AM
I haven't decided what it's intended purpose is yet.I chose the grendel because i have heard nothing but good things about it and i don't like the idea of being out in the field for any reason with a rifle that is not legal for big game.I know that may sound silly to some people.I sold the first AR i built because i didn't really get into it but after a while i decided i needed another one.

18-20 is perfect for hunting/long range  :twocents: Longer barrels imo would be just for bench shooting. Unless you want to pack around the longer barrel. I have a 18 inch 1/8 and couldn't be happier. Sub moa all day with 123 grain Amax an 100 grain Amax. You won't be disappointed with Grendel  ;)

I would say that a longer barrel will help stability for long range shooting. The longer the barrel the more it spins before it comes out the end.

It could be just wording, but this sounds like a misunderstanding of twist rate to me.

The bullet is twisting at the correct rate as soon as it fully engages the rifling - a longer barrel doesn't affect that. A longer barrel generally gives higher velocity, so of course the bullet spins faster at higher velocity, but the rate of twist doesn't change.

I think what was meant is that if you had a 1=8 twist barrel @ 16", you'd get two revolutions of the bullet before exiting the barrel.  1-8 @24" would give you 3 revolutions...
