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.

Post by: jay.sharkbait on March 30, 2014, 03:11:39 PM
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).

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.

thanks I like screwing around with my camera and my guns the guns make good models. I need to paint/finish it but have not found the time. It was fun to build and it wasnt too bad to get all dialed in its pretty accurate, next is work up loads and find its favorite food.

Is there a conversion kit to make the 5.56 NATO a bigger cal say like 308?
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.

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.

Does the mount/turret obscure the holo sight?
It's close, but works really well.

Lower is complete. Magpul PRS will arrive tomorrow and the bi-pod on Friday.
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.

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.

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.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.

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.

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.

Nice color on that campmeat! What do they call that one? Is it duracoated or cerakoated?
You have to thank Biggerhammer. I bought it from him and he's in the know..sorry.
That's a mix of several heat cured Cerakote colors.

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.

What is are balisitics like on the A-30?
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.

What do you do for magazines and bolts for that round? Are they 6.8 parts, or ???
Also, how much powder are you burning with 125gr bullets in the A-30?

That sounds pretty good.

I use a 6.8 SPC bolt and ASC stainless 6.8 mag's.
A mid range load I use is 32.2gr of AA2200 with a 125.

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

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.
Post by: Biggerhammer on May 16, 2015, 10:17:28 AM
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.

Great choice. Mega upper and lower. I have an AR-10 with a Mega Maten upper and lower. Made in Tumwater Washington USA. High quality stuff. I was on a Texas gun forum earlier today and a guy there had a Mega upper and lower in there AR thread. If the boys in Texas likes them......well what can you say?

The irony of it all was I ordered it from a company back east, not knowing they were made locally. I picked it up and chuckled when I read the made in Tumwater. Great fit and finish for sure.

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.

I recently installed a very similar handguard from Ebay, much like yours but with the quad rails milled off the sides and top. For the money, I was pleasantly surprised, a little heavy but should be very durable.

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.

Is the one on the far right with the suppressor an AR-10?
Yes. From LtoR.
S&W M&P15 MOE
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.

That makes sense.
Can you drill & tap one for a left side charging handle before heat treat? I'm thinking about machining my own, but tapping that hardened steel can be a problem.

Very nice! I have a Mega Maten AR-10 that I really like. I agree with the AR-22lr's are fun to shoot. I built one from a 80% polymere lower and a polymere upper. Very light and easy. I also have an AR-45acp with 30 round grease gun mags that is a tac driver. It's one of my favorites. Nice looking collection you have..... :tup:

Here she is. It has a SGW or Olympic Arms barrel. I built this back in the mid 90's and it had an older A-2 upper. I since put a flat top upper on it. To make the grease gun mags work, I had to peal some metal off the sides of the mag and open up the mag well slightly. I love this carbine. I have had it for over twenty years.

Nice pistol caliber carbine. I would love one in 10 mm.

SWEET! I love old guns more than new ones. :tup:
Haven't built my own yet but it is on my bucket list for sure. Safe is getting a little to full at the moment so I will likely be adding another safe before I get to do that or should I say have the budget for that.

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.

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?

Those .50 BMG uppers look like a whole ball of fun.
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.

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.
The cases are made from 6.8s right? I'm a big fan of the 35 Herrett!

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

Have you built anything on those Anderson lowers? I had some fitment issues with the one I built. The takedown and pivot pin required a hammer and a screwdriver to get out. A little touch up with the dremmel and all was well, but it seemed like the holes weren't lined up.

Some of the Andersons have had fit problems, hence the $40 price tag, but overall they are pretty good for the money.
The PSA's are about the same price and I have never had an issue with one of them. :twocents:
My Anderson functions just fine after the modifications.

Wanted to go with 6.5mm and couldn't make up my mind between 6.5CM or 260, eventually found a good deal on the barrel along with a bunch of 260 brass, so 260 it is. Groups are looking promising, but not quite dialed yet.

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.

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...
