That's good to hear about the pistol caliber ARs. I want to make mine a 9mm carbine. One thing I've read about Colt vs Glock is last round bolt hold open being a problem with one or the other depending on parts used. It's a lot to read up on and learn. And that's part of the reason I want to build my own AR. I love learning new things. I have no interest in a piston AR at this point. Quote:
This build is either going to be an Aero based tool or a pretty looking, billet range toy. I have my Radical Firearms AR that's a typical black rifle. It works reliably every time so I have that. Have either of you ever had a gun Ceratoked? I'm wondering how much of a PITA it is to reassemble a gun after it's been coated. And how does it wear? I had when finishes wear quickly. | ||

My point was, my guns are tools just like any other tool, and they have an intended use. If they get some wear marks from being used, so be it, it doesn't bother me in the least. I only own a couple safe queens, one that was given to me, and one I built a LONG time ago with the help of a friend/gunsmith that has since passed away. I almost never shoot either of them for different reasons. For where I live, I need something I can drag through the mountain laurel and saw briers and not worry about it getting scuffed up, losing zero from being bumped and jostled, etc. Now for the hunting property in GA, I can have a gorgeous gun if I want, because I can park at the bottom of my stand if I wanted to. LOL

But yeah I do want to build a safe queen/casual range day AR. At this point I'm not sure if that will be my second or third build though. | |

I grew up fairly poor at times, so things had to serve a purpose. It's probably why I still have that mentality about certain things, and why on the flip side I bought shit loads of toys for years when I was younger, and still do though much less frequently. I get that side of the hobby also. I frequently go on gun broker and drool over Browning Citoris. |

@JatoTheRipper, I highly recommend the Aero Upper and Lowes. I love the V2 lowers and some of the stuff they have engineered into them. Specifically, the threaded hole for the rear takedown detent. Using a small set screw, you can capture the spring and pin. It's just little things like that that I enjoy. Their fit and finish are quite nice, especially for the money. My biggest gripe is their proprietary uppers, the M4E1 Enhanced that use their handguards. I haven't tried their new M4E1 upper with traditional barrel threading, but it looks nice! I'd give it a shot. I have a few of their lowers kicking around waiting to be built. If you wanna get super fancy, I can't recommend ADM upper and lowers enough. Pure sex! I didn't know how much I would like am I controls until I bought one. And you'll like that Radian CH. Last edited by slowmethinks; 04-09-2018 at 03:57 PM. |

When my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, ADM made some custom pink scope mounts and donated them for a raffle for her. I acquired one. Having a pink scope mount, I decided she needed a pink rifle to go with it. I was able to buy a pink ANODIZED AR15 receiver set and handguard from them for a good price. The machining is a work of art. And I shoot it. It's not a safe queen... When she's older, it will be hers. Also pictured is my 18" Aero set. That rifle shoots 700 and 800 yards without any problems. | |

I hope all is well with your daughter!!! I'm not big on pink, but that AR is awesome! What upper are you using with the ADM lower? | |

I've never owned anything pink. So when I shoot this rifle, I do it with pride. The upper is ADM as well. It has a Ballistic Advantage pencil barrel, Geissele gas block and muzzle brake, ADM handguard, ADM bolt carrier group, ADM scope mount, and Primary Arms 1-6 scope. The lower is ADM of course, Geissele SSA-E trigger and Magpul stock and grip. It's a light shooting rifle. Pink and all, it does it's job well. | |

And I just finished getting this together. It's a perfect example of quality and cost effective. The two most expensive parts on this are the trigger ($240 Geissele SSA-E) and optic ($300 Trijicon MRO). |

Picked up one of the Walmart $99 dollar 22's yesterday, the Savage 62. Threw a $25 scope on it and took it home to shoot. There was a obvious dirt cheap/why not theme going on here. Shot 100rds of Federal value pack. Overall impression is it's a functional fairly accurate rifle. The trigger is absolutely horrible and makes it extremely difficult to shoot it to it's potential. I did find that Mcarbo makes a trigger kit for it and have one on order. I've had success with them in the past. It's no tack driver but for the price tag not a bad shooter. A better trigger should make quite a difference. I was unable to keep a full 10rd mag in the black at 50yds, with that trigger there were always a few fliers. Below are some pics and the best/last 10rds of the day... Last edited by RANOVRU; 04-22-2018 at 05:57 PM. |

My uncle made these out files years ago. The man could make anything. I also have a 20 gauge muzzle loading shotgun he made completely by hand. Need to dig it out and get some pics. Sent from my LG-H631 using Tapatalk |
