    I have wood, green, black, camo, tan, Fluro green (seriously)
    Don't really give a shit what colour it is to be honest
    Black is classic, everything else is just something different from black

    Needed an accu-wedge in the R15 to reduce the smallest "wobble" between the upper and lower.
    Gimp suggested I try a foam earplug under the rear takedown pin.
    Brilliant idea. Worked a treat.

    Gimp - these are for you

    Ya'll suck!

    Now I want an AR

    I've just read 31 pages of you lot spouting gibberish, and all I've managed to come up with is that I should:
    Buy an NEA15 with the 16in barrel (seem to be the cheapest new), find a replacement trigger, get an adjustable gas valve porty thingie, and suppress it.
    THEN I can start spending money on it?

    Some people like to fiddle with cars. Been there, done that. Guns are more fun

    Welcome aboard Gerbs. You definitely have stamina trawling through 30 pages
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thinking of a compensator/muzzle brake rather than a suppressor for my R15. Mainly for practical shoots etc.
    Will still use the Sonic modular suppressor for hunting though.

    What compensators or brakes are folks using?

    I did a quick "test" the other week with a .223, a couple of brakes & a suppressor.

    The brakes were obviously much louder, but recoil & sight picture loss was significantly reduced with a brake.

    I was surprised by how much, given it was "only" a .223 AR

    You have the reciprocating mass of the BCG and buffer which adds to the felt recoil quite substantially. A good compensator really helps keep the gun stable but of course there's the tradeoff of being fucking awful to be around

    I use a brake on my 3 gun rifle. I wouldnt use one without it for that type of shooting. Its everybody elses ears that suffer, not so much the shooters.

    I've got JP, STI, and some I got made up in the US
    All much of a muchness
    Top ports is a must
    One of them is tuned for a right hander with different sized ports on left and right in top

    Saw an AR with 1 of these, it seemed much better than my suppressor.
    Will try it out next time at the range (eh Muzr ) and see if I need it.

    18 rounds on the v drill in 7.3 seconds was good enough for me, including a cock up!
