AR Thread

[Bill999]

have you run a bead of hitemp silicone between the top of your charging handle seats to the upper tussock?
highly recomend doing it if that gas in the face happens, best thing I ever done to my AR

[Grue]

Fitted a AR Gas Vent in place of forward assist. Expells all excess gas to the side of the gun. Never had anything back through the charging handle when suppressed.

I don't miss the forward assist - it's not a fighting rifle, so who wants to force a round into the chamber if it doesn't want to go? And closing quietly when hunting - just pushing the bolt forward with your thumb in that little bolt recess is more than enough to lock it in.

I use the forward assist to ensure the bolt is in battery after a press check. I wonder if you could have a gas vent and a functional FA

[Grue]

Last i heard they were working on a Gas Vent that would also keep the function of a FA, but no news on them when I just looked.

Spose if you had the right tools, might be worth trying drilling out a FA and trying to make your own... but that's a bit beyond my tech skills

picked up a Daniel defense 16inch CHF 1/7 pencil barrel for my AR its carbine gas but hey, it will suffice for the mean time. now to sell that bull barrel...

[Bill999]

what did you end up paying?

Im keen to thin my barrel down but Id say that a pencil middy would be a better move. then atleast i have 2 barrels

560 with gas block, everyone else is asking that kinda money for no name barrels so i think it was a fair buy

i bought mine off gunstuff but i think this is the same guy, same barrel anyway

And the hair could take a hammering that close

[dogmatix]

Okay, so I should leave my A2 stock on then?
As haven't bought adjustable gas block yet, everyone is sold out (Waiting on a JP steel low profile one from Brownells).

[Bill999]

My NEA did not fit the bits it came with. The hand grip hand two decidedly non factory looking galvanised washers as packers to try and get the handgrip tight, but it was still loose. The bolt on the air soft grip it came with was too long. New grip and a shortened bolt and its sweet.

I can fault some of the bits attached to my NEA but I can't fault the rifle overall. 300 rounds no stoppages now. It's 2K for the rifle but you definitely need the $330 Timney. Then it's a different gun. The forend is ugly as sin, but functional. A2 stock is good if your a grown up.
Shoots an honest 1-1.5" at 100m

Offhand, leaves all my other guns for dead.

Im guessing you dont own a shotgun or a sako then

[Bill999]

I must need more practice with my ar then, its going to take alot to catch up to my sako

[40bung]

Yeah my ar does 1.5 inch groups at 200m with a 4 power yellow triangle reticle scope. Shit of a thing really. Point, did I mention how it points? Oh terrible Muriel, I'd be much better of with a farmers bolt gun.
