AR Photo Only Thread

[dogmatix]

I can’t compare to those, but my 11.5” barrel was shooting 0.6 MOA with handloads from brand new. I have photos as proof somewhere.

Build I did in 2017 very cool little carbine. @Square22 is buying the upper and lower but watch this space over the next few weeks. Will list some parts in the buy/sell for anyone who is in dire straights for some AR parts.

I've just gone through all these pages again and I got to admit I like the look of these traditional style rifles much more than the modern ARs. I must get one one day, although it would be a toss up between something as close as I could find to A1 styling, or a traditionally styled M4 type for it's functionality.

@Sasquatch How did you find the cqr stock? Ive been tempted but never handled one

[Sasquatch]

Comfy enough all though I installed an ambi safety selector as I struggled to flip standard safety with cqr's thumbhole design. Other then that LOP is adjusted thru spacers which are easy to install.

Get at least a dozen

Actually we can both blame James at Gun Supplies in Rotorua. He allowed me to hold several different rigs and compare notes, which tipped me over the edge as well. He was very helpful, very patient and I have no hesitation recommending him or dealing with him again in future. They provided me with an excellent service.

You realise you will need to have a small modification carried out to the BCG, yeah?

I like the look of that side charger - whats the mod to the BCG you speak off ?
Whats the pin in the back of the upper for ?
How do they go without the case deflector ?

@Luke556

The modification to the BCG is minor - a small land is milled into the side to allow the charging handle to pick up. This doesn't affect compatibility with standard installations so you can swap this BCG into any other Upper at any time. This was a good selling point for me. The scriber is indicating the land:



The roll pin on the rear of the Upper is actually a hinge. This allows easy removal of the BCG for cleaning. Please disregard my dirty BCG... I took these pictures when I got home immediately after hunting this morning.





As for the out-going cases, I've not had any issues at all. There is a deflector block on the aft side of the port but that's all. Less working parts as far as I'm concerned. Being so open to the elements I was a little apprehensive about dirt and grit getting into the action but so far this hasn't been an issue. I'm not planning on running through muddy rice paddies shooting VC, parachuting into the desert sand dunes of Iraq or slugging through snow in the mountains of Afghanistan so I never see it being a problem.

In summary, I like it. And it's a little different from everyone else.

I noticed yesterday that it allows you to check chamber with your left eye without breaking cheek weld. Never needed to, just realised you can see it from there.. I did wonder how much gas it would allow to fart into your face with a suppressed and/or blowback setup though, I'd go for the blind holes.

Trying not to want one too much.. I wonder if it could be made to be a cheaper add-on bit: Ie stick a template on the side of a standard upper, drill and tap two holes for attaching the side charge bit. Drill a series of holes for where it runs, file the slot flat, attack the left hand side of the bolt carrier, screw it on and go. Would only take an hour.

[planenutz]

Would only take an hour.

Hahaha!

Yep, a "5 minute job".... my wife loves it when I say that.



I'm not an experienced AR user so would be interested in your thoughts on the side-charging option @Tommy.

[Luke556]

Planetnutz thanks for that info mate - appreciated
Now to look at the "Black Funds"
LoL - gun DIY, not to say it couldn't be done but i think i would stick with the pro made version

I'm not either, I just mean to attach a commercial bolt on side charger. Drill and tap two holes with aid of template, mill/drill and cut slot.

[Luke556]

Its a bit more low pro than the handle on the one in this vidhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xghvav3YNFk
