be good if it came with some instructions well its all in now
Ok so I got an AR and it has got a Magpul MOE K grip and it is too short - what is a decent grip that is longer and available in NZ (can't be arsed importing anything) ? I need it longer as I want to do a DIY A cat stock conversion. Alternatively I might have brand new (fitted at the moment but otherwise pretty much brand spanking) a complete carbine stock setup for sale
VLTOR carbine receiver extension buffer tube. (5 position mil spec diameter)
Spikes Tactical ST-T1 Buffer
Magpul MOE fixed carbine stock (mil spec)
Magpul MOE K grip
What would this lot be worth?
The market for this sort of thing seems to be flooded right now so not a good time to be selling.Quote:

Yeah its not an ideal time eh! I am pretty keen on sticking with what I have got and just making it comply anyway. Just need to get a longer grip and I will be sortedQuote:

PM if you're keen.
I've got a spare Ergo and A2 grip if you want to swap.
Sent you a PM Shamus.

Hi,
Have anyone used a Remington R 15. Was thinking to trade my Mini 14 for 1 but don't have too much experience with AR types.
Yep. I have one, the 18" barrel version and I like it a lot. I put a timney trigger in it and swapped out the pistol grip but other than that its good to go.
I also have a 20" Windham weaponry which in theory should be more accurate but its not as good as the R15. The R15 fit and finish is better than the Windham that I have as well. No rattles at all. Every thing is a snug fit.
I have put around 1500 rounds through my R15 from new with not a single problem.
How heavy is it?Quote:

Yeah I really like my R15 too.
Pump Action AR's. No E-cat required :)
The UMOS – Universal Manual Operating System Pump Action AR-15 Kit - The Firearm Blog
That would look out of place in a Maimai.
So does my saiga 12 with eotech but as it's legal and I get more ducks than my buddy's who cares?Quote:

I've got a slightly over gassed ar since fitting a suppressor, breed is: NEA-15 12.5" carbine, had a custom Maximus suppressor fitted by Robbie Tiffen.
Recoil impulse isn't terrible but the telltale signs of overgassing are there, spent cartridges are clipping the ejection port window on the way out and scraping on the deflector. Also the spent cases are landing at the One/Two O'clock position.
Ideally, an adjustable gas block is gonna be the way to go but I heard removing the hand guard on NEA's isn't pleasant & I don't have any armourer's tools as of yet.
So... I've ordered a Spikes Tactical ST-2 heavy buffer from NZAR15 to help mitigate the reciprocating rate and to help with my gassy rifle.
Has anyone had any experience with the heavy buffers? Or the Spikes one in particular? Is this a good resolution?
Any advice is much appreciated
Regards

The heavy buffer may help but it's probably not going to fix the problem completely.
And yours still doing more dirty gas them needed into your receiver-bad for both cleaning and potentially gas into your face.
My advice would be to bite the bullet so to speak and buy and adjustable gas block,the nea handgard is fine to take on and of without any special tools as it just clamps onto a std barrel nut that you don't need to touch(unless there is an updated version I haven't seen)
Welcome Saquatch
Hi thanks for the response res,
Will see how the new heavy buffer goes when it arrives, if still an issue will probably invest in adj gas block. Any recommendations?
Not sure what gen my NEA is but purchased the rifle July this year, think they are up to gen3 now. I was told by Mr Hardy himself a wee while back not to remove the handgaurd as you will most likely f#*k it up... ?
As for gas in the face, not an issue, runs like a champ. Would the slower reciprocating rate aided from the ST2 buffer help reduce wear on the BCG etc from the rifle being slightly overgassed?
Cheers
What length buffer tube you got bro?
Just had a look on their website, states it is a "6-Position Carbine Stock - Milspec" So would be the carbine length I pressumeQuote:

My NEA is with Robbie currently, where he is making the factory gas block an adjustable one amongst other things. Not sure how much its going to cost but I'll post some photos and results when I get it back this week I think.
You could have a go at making the block adjustable yourself if you have access to a drill press
Yeah just asked him to do it while it was getting other stuff done. Will be doing my own on the next one :) Saved a good thread from these forums on the how to.
nzfubz, I'll be interested to see how it goes I may go down that path too, as to what Beavis suggested, The only access I have to a drill press would be through my local gunsmith.
Be curious to see what sort of price he would charge changing the factory GB to an adj one
Any engineer could do it.Quote:

Never done one but there can't be much more to it than that. Could even get away with a standard drill if you're careful enough.
