Yeah, I've got a 12.37, Rainier Special Edition. Very nice.

If/when I'm buying a new one, I'd go with Keymod or M-Lok.

Lots of options these days for rails. Look at what your needs and requirements are, not just what looks 'purdy'.

The Samson modifies off a standard barrel nut is that correct? So I'd actually have to get one of them too because I'm guessing they don't come with - @Digit ? My current is the sar3 type by spikes/seekins. Maybe I'm better to go for a seekins mcsr then.

Yes. Only $20.

What don't you like about the SAR3?

Anyone with the AIL a-cat or e-cat stocks this was easy once I found what I was after. Cost $15 too

How did you do it?

Yes. Only $20.

It's ok I just would rather a more comfortable rail I guess. I don't need rails so why have them. Purely a personal thing

It's literally a $5 part from reloaders. Uncle mikes qd100 and I just found a screw that would work and screwed it on with some blue loctite. Job done

I had terminal problems with my Brownells AR15 5rnd mags, not one worked. Anyway I complained to Brownells but heard nothing back so I put it down to experience. Today surprisingly, these turned up,



Now I just need to buy 400 rounds to test....

Hopefully they are OK. Not teflon coated I think and made Jan 14 instead of June 14, package labeling suggests a known problem to me.

Anybody have a carbon fiber AR ? Bad ? good ? any difference in performance or handling ?

Seriously looking at the moment

falls apart

I held one. Felt like a toy. Don't know why but it felt wrong. Sort of on topic I weighed my AR with a heavy suppressor and it was 30 grams heavier than my .270, yet people say they're heavy bloody things

It's the density


I'd avoid non-traditional materials used for upper/lower like the plague considering the track record 100% of them have for breaking eventually

[redbang]

I'm not being smart, merely looking for good info ☺
What breaks ? and when you say 'eventually' what governs that ? Poor handling, bits break off, round count, can you be more specific ☺

[gimp]

all of the above really

[steven]

Lighter if that is useful to you, but then things like skinny barrels should also be fitted i would think. They are supposed to be less durable but replacing the upper or lower is quite a cheap exercise about $150 each from brownells.

[redbang]

Anyone actually used one or own one ?

I have a carbon 15 and have never had an issue. They dont rust, very light which means i can carry more ammo. The down side is they feel so light that u do feel like ur holding a toy at times.
