Short answer, build one. But it's just as cheap to buy one, you say. I thought so too, until I built my own about 2 months ago
.
It was not nearly as expensive as I thought it was going to be. As for ammo, when I'm just playing around, I use either Tula steel cased ($9 a box) or ZQ1 brass...
Hey guys, need ideas, thought on finishing this out. It's a palmetto state .308. Here's where I'm at so far
Now, I know what bolt carrier group and charging handle, but I want suggestions on barrels and hand guards. What I want to know is, 20 or 18 inch. Stainless steel or CMV or...
After my long ( to me) wait, the good gentlemen at sooner state pawn called to tell me my suppressor came in. It's my first and I can't wait to take it out and give it a try. It's a 7.62 silencerco SPECWAR. But my god does it make the rifle barrel heavy. Gonna be using this on my 5.56, 6.8spc...
I'm going to jump on the 7th element firearms band wagon. I will always try to go to SSP and 7th element, and if they don't have what I need, I order from fatboy tactical. If none of those guys have it, I source from the Internet. I've had way too many bad dealings with H&H and marks firearms(...
I'll have to put it on a scale. But without the bypod( which adds more weight at the front and makes it real barrel heavy) I'd guess 8lbs, give or take half a pound.
I have no experience with this particular model, but I do have a vortex sparc that I bought about 3 years ago. Mounted on my AR and a FAL. That sparc has been mistreated from day one. It's scarred up, dinged up, chipped. It's been rained on, dropped, kicked, landed on concrete, thrown in the...
As a side note, instead of a 5 round shoot group, I prefer 3 round shot groups. In the target photos, the rounds on the left and the one in the middle are when I finally got it right where I felt the scope needed to be. The one large hole is actually 3 rounds after I settled down, took my time...
This isnt just a review a reveiw of the rifle and build, but also of various parts of the rifle in the hopes That I might answer questions someone might have on their builds. So, lets begin with the build spec.
Anderson lower/upper
magpul MOE grip and MOE rifle stock
RRA trigger with...
I'm glad that you took a leap of faith and just went with it. I've always liked G3 style rifles. As for the internet chatter, it doesn't matter what brand of car/truck/TV/gun you buy, someone has always had a lemon, no matter the brand. You've done a great job, personally, I like the furniture (...
After more than a few AR builds ( My latest and best so far is my 18 inch 6.8spc), I had the urge to move on up to a .308. While checking on my silencer paperwork at Sooner State Pawn, I ran across a Palmetto State Armory PTAC .308 lower for the very reasonable price of $119, so I thought to my...
I assume that you are talking about 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. Taurus has a new carbine out that I like, The CX4 is nice. And the M1 .30 cal carbine is a pistol caliber carbine too.
Whenever I fire a build for the first time, I practically bathe the bolt carrier group in lube. Like, dripping everywhere. Be it clp, remoil, wd-40 or 10w30. And I also use the cheapest, nastiest, steel cased ammo( well, for 5.56 anyway). About $60 will run 200 rounds of Tula or monarch through...
For those who might be interested, I was looking for 6.8 mags last week because I was just loading 5 at a time in my 5.56 mags to get my upper sighted in. I came across 6.8 mags at J&G sales. They are 25 rounders, and were $9.99 a piece. I figured why the hell not, and bought four of them. After...
I have handled it a little. I was really excited about it until I picked it up. It was alright, nothing to really right home about. The biggest selling point in my book was the quick change barrel. But as with every other rifle that has come out recently that has a so called quick change system...
