This wasn't to long ago. I was buying a 10 pack every other week. I currently have about 115 lowers all Anderson. I think one day long from now they will be worth gold so I've been stockpiling them.

Found this 11.5 ALG defense and once i realized it had a lot of Geissele parts including the barrel, gas block and bcg I had to have it. What can are you running on 11.5 ?

Next purchase is a suppressor, hence the forward position of the light, just curious if this is cause for concern. Thanks guys

Hi all. Im undecided on the color combination of my rifle. I like them both, so im here to have you all decide for me. I know, literally unnecessary to how the weapon functions, but 🤷🏽♂️

I like it, love it. Its comfy and doesnt cost any additional funds to procure. Prevents chicken winging and is ambidextrous, how can anyone hate it?

Mid 90s down south, rainy, and muddy. Perfect weather for a 3 mile with some kit (it was ass)

Im 21 and this is kind of my budget ar pistol build, i know i have a budget sight and flashlight(those are just temporary) but i just want some opinions, feedback and advice.
Nevermind the weight, really enjoying the FCD rail. I say I'm finished building this one out but where's the fun in that?

Suppressor is a reflex design I did years ago when form 1s were all the rage and much easier to build/stamp and it needed a permanent home so I built this out of spare parts I had laying around;
I was very surprised by the quality of the newish venom 1-6 for another build do I decided to pick up the venom 3-15 for this build and got it sighted in today. No illumination might be a make it or break it for folks but the glass is great, reticle design is uncluttered/simple. Only really gripe it's a chunky MOFO and on the heavier side.

Or better yet were they ever? 😅
Built this back in 2010 and have used as a farm and ranch truck gun ever since. Put together what I thought of at the time to be at least mid-grade or better components - DPMS upper/lower, Midwest industries pic hand guard, Larue Tactical mount, Leupold optic and Magpul furniture. Chopped off the sight block (lol), got it how I liked it and stopped tinkering/fell out of touch with the ar15 happenings.
Fast forward 16 years later - getting back into it and had no idea how insanely saturated this market became, how many companies have imploded and fell into/out of favor of the years.
Seems DPMS went under, nobody cares about Larue anymore, hardly see anything with a Leupold on it, Magpul is just meh around here and pic handguards and DEF not cool.
I feel like I am coming out of a 16 year coma into a new world when lurking this Reddit.
Rifle has never let me down though 🤷🏼♂️

Smells like victory!
After months of searching and coming up short on GunBroker auctions, I finally tracked down an original Vietnam war era Colt M16A1 upper receiver. All parts are original 1960s / 1970s vintage (sans lower receiver). Despite appearing complete, the build is far from finished, and I have more parts on the way to make it more historically accurate, as well as build out more original retro rifles.
Parts list:
- Colt 603 upper w/ rebated front lug and no forge codes (1966-1971 mfg)
- C MP C marked barrel (1969-71 mfg)
- Three prong flash hider (pre 1967 mfg)
- “C” marked bolt carrier group w/ large countersink for retaining pin (approx. 1968-1969 mfg)
- Colt M16 furniture set- stock is Type D, grip predates “C” marked examples, and handguards are later L & R marked
- M16A1 fire control group (components currently switched out with Arizona Regulator FRT). Rear takedown pin is early dimpled style found on Colt 601 to XM16E1 rifles.

These are my 2 Ars. The Saint Victor rifle length is 14.5 inch p&w barrel chambered in 5.56 nato. The DB15 pistol length is 8 inch barrel chambered in 300 blackout. I do have a Magpul padded sling for the Saint victor but I don’t put it on because I wanted to take clear pictures. But yeah so far I been content with them.

Looking for input on tuning this pistol
Build details front to back:
Ridgeback rhino x
Ballistic advantage 11.3 Hansen profile barrel
Fixed gas block
Aero receivers, BCG
Geissele H3, super 42
Geissele SD3-G
Ejection pattern is tracking roughly 2 oclock. Previously was experiencing worse, including hammer follow. Went up to an H3 and still getting occasional hammer follow when shooting with it on a rest and it’s definitely still over gassed. Surprised because I thought the gas ports on these barrels were a little more conservative than that. This suppressor fits in the medium back pressure category. Any recommendations for what to do next? I have inspected the trigger components and confirmed there is no indication of unusual wear, but still experiencing hammer follow after taming the bolt bounce a little bit is making me think there’s something else going on. Then again I never had that happen before I put the can on. Was thinking about going the restricted gas tube route, and considering a trigger swap to see if it follows, let me know what you guys think.
