I'm needing to get some rails to put on my R15.
Anyone got any, or know of a good supplier?
Just need to be able to mount a few important accessories.

Hi
Was wondering if anybody knew where i would be able to get a 10-12" barrell for my bushmaster. Looking at starting a new upper build project with a small lightweight rifle in mind. Have looked at the states but no way in hell can i get anything i want out. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
cheers
Longer barrel cut down?
What is ur current set up? If it is a 16" carbine you should be able to trim the tube to the appropriate length, it might require the gas port to be opened a little, due to the decrease in dwell time. If u have a rifle length tube it will require lathe work after the cut down to get the right profile for the gas block. I wouldn't trust local smiths to do this properly.
We will have 10.5 barrels next week
I chopped a 16 inch daniel defence carbine barrel down to 12 inchs or what ever 765mm total length is for an ar
I had one fail to hold back early on, which could have been anything as It hasnt happened again,
very happy with the end product, Id be careful with the 10.5inch if you wanted to suppress it as it may have the muzzle break pinned on to be legal length, and when you remove it, the rifle becomes a pistol (as soon as it falls under the 762mm mark)
Thanks for replays.
Current set up is a bull barrel 16" with (i think) a mid carbine length system. Am now thinking about 12" as it would reach the minimum length with my stock set up. Have thought about having my current barrel cut. Two things putting me off this is that; 1 i have an over barrel suppressor already on the rifle and if the barrel was cut down then it would not fit and would be hard to sell.
Second point is something you guys would probably know better than me. I heard last night at the range that cutting cromed lined barrels can wreck them and is not as good as a purpose built short barrel. If you guys could let me know that would be great.
my barrel is chrome lined barrel has had the chop and it shoots great, less than a inch at 100m with hornady steel case
I wouldnt say it was buggered at all
gas systems are either mid or carbine or rifle length.
8 10 or 12 inches if memory serves me correctly
I think it will be more of an issue if you need to increase the gas port diameter, running a drill bit into it may cause the chrome to flake and start peeling off, which will turn your barrel into a plinker. Being Bushmaster they have probably drilled an excessively wide gas port anyway so hopefully it won't need doing.
Good to hear thanks. Means i should be able to get a cheaper 16inch barrel and cut it down. The guy i was talking to had a friend selling a shorter barrel. Probably just wanted me to buy that instead.
Thanks again.
Ok Ill look into the gas port. thanks
factor in that you will most likely need a new gas block (and possibly gas tube)
If you want to go short Id say a carbine length gas system would be most desirable
Or in the barrel nut, pistol, pistol-car, extended rifle :)Quote:

Meh. Neither.
A mate uses the magpul afg and I personally don't like it but he has an injured wrist and it makes shooting his rifle more comfy so each to their own
The Nea forend isn't the most comfortable to hold anyway,
I just wrap my forends with motorbike inner tube
Run an AFG on my 6940. The handguard is quite fat.
Anyone got some spare ladder type rail covers?
Anyone use 1 of these? AR specific multitool.
Leatherman multi-tools: MUT
Looks like a very handy piece of kit.
You don't actually need any specific tools for an AR except a castle nut wrench, barrel nut wrench, neither of which are on that
Has other handy bits on it that other multi's don't.
Brownells do a Multitasker multitool as well - but they won't send them out of the USA 'cause they're black, dangerous and menacing. lol
A comparison review of the 2 tools....

Not after workshop tools Gimp, I know someone with all of them. ;)
Just thought it'll be a handy bit of kit to have on the hill.
I have the multitasker one, it's pretty shit, I just got it for the castle nut wrench because all of the actual castle nut wrenches were out of stock
for all you ar nuts, what do you think of the remington r15?
as not every one wants the "black" rifle
Over priced, gay colour. Buy an NEA and paint it green or tan. Only like $20 for a can of Krylon or Rustoleum.
$2150 for an remington r15(made by bushmaster) or $2000 for an NEA?
Bushmaster isnt the yard stick for quality they were 10 years ago. NEA
I have 1 ;)
Nice rifle. I like it anyway.
i take it your one of those "TACTERCOOL" people then, "gay colour" i beleve that is a matter of opinion, i did not want THE BLACK rifleQuote:

Not sure I would say camo is tacticool, just different. Don't understand why people give a shit what others think of what your rifle looks like. If it's accurate and reliable mint. Paint it whatever colour you want.
When my camo wears off I might try anodized tan or give it a go going digi cam for shits and giggles.
Colour is all up to you personal preference, the missus want me to paint her 10/22 stock hot pink so that's what she'll get - but she wont catch me using it. :D
need some inspiration?

NEA's are grey. I don't think real tree looks great on an AR, even less so when it starts peeling off and you're left with white chips in your finish.Quote:

no offense taken,your in title to your own opinion (even if it is wrong :thumbsup:) i own a number of "BLACK" rifles and the do look good, clean, but i find they heat up quickly as absorb the heat, good for 3-5 shots max before barrel heat starts to take effectQuote:

Need to get yourself a jp heat dissipator, and contour your barrel to fit?
Using TT2 on my mobele
this may be tru but if left on a shooting bench (in between shots) witch one will disparate the heat more efficiently, and or heat up from the sun? a polished blued barrel vs a matt stainless steel one. identical barrels, same contour ectQuote:

The prices on them will be lower in the future when theres a few with paint falling off all over the place. Not sure how hard to finish stripping it and repainting would be ?
Chucks a little bit of gas out the handle due to suppression. As a tool rather than a "model" gun it will definitely do the job ok Good as most better than some ??
Needs new trigger... Repeat after me .. Needs new trigger ..:thumbsup:
