I use a Butler Creek neoprene one. Havent bothered with a three point tac sling or anything.

[res]

The same old leather sling that I use on all my rifles, never felt the need for a tactical style sling but I do use a target sling in comps

[anderset20]

Yeah I use a neoprene but haven't really found it very comfortable

How do you find it?

[steven]

Stupid things not to do with an AR15.



1) So I wanted to do a functional test on the sh**ty brownells mags to see if they would feed as I chopped off 1/2 a coil of the spring at a time. Decided not to trust just the safety but to remove the firing pin so it was impossible to go off. Bad, bad idea, cam pin turned and jammed BCG at the 1/2 way mark, couldnt part receivers to get it out either.



2) Had to strip out stock and buffer tube and the f***ing wee pin head that holds the buffer in went Piiiiiing, f***ing lost it. So thank good I had a CMMG lower build kit so I could put it all back together, except I almost lost than one as well, but got lucky it hit me first.



The AIL stocks are a bit of a bugger to put on btw.



So that's Xmas done Ive had enough, I'll go play WoT for the rest of the day, way safer.........LOL.

Did you try to pop the pivot and take down pin together? It just slides off.

[steven]

ah duh....that would have done it, so used to flipping it I didnt think of that.



Merry Xmas btw.

[Beavis]

All good. I was there once. Have a good one.

so finally shot my ar properly after 2 years of ownership... bought back a leupold 3x9x40 mark 1 mil-dot scope from the states which is fantastic for the money nice and light too, and oh boy i'm not the greatest shot but i was impressed with the accuracy of the thing! at 100m most semi's i've shot are much to be desired on an accuracy level....got one 20c size group other weren't so great... my set up is CMMG with a Daniel defense .625 LW 1/7 barrel, shooting 55gr hornady training ammo was very impressed, had a few average shots but i think the trigger has alot to do with it, anyone else replaced the trigger on there ar and noticed a big diff ? but loving the gas in the eyes too....(lucky saw you guys saying it was an issue before hand and wore eye protection) adjustable gas block on the cards also..anyone stock em in nz ? but absolutely loving the ar platform!

[res]

Replacing your trigger will probably help a lot.
There are some very cheep/free mods you can do to your charging handle to reduce the amount of gas hitting you, but these work best when combined with an adjustable has block

I copied a design from off another rifle forum and made my own.
Make your own TAC SLING for 10 bucks! Pics and detailed instructions inside 56k warning - AR15.COM

Worked out well. Got all the buckles and webbing from Twin Needle here in CHCH and put it all together. I didn't use Alice clips like they did though, I used std Uncle Mike sling swivels.
I bought a Magpul MS4 sling as well, but I prefer my DIY sling.

I'm in the same boat as you. Think I'm going to start with a ALG trigger but have heard you need jp springs as well to make that good, may have to bite the bullet and go for a Timney or something. I'm used to 2 pound on my rifles but want something heavier than that for my AR, mine just feels like it's about 15

As far as adjustable gas blocks just get a seekins from brownells, about $100 delivered and 2-3 weeks
