    Does Bartlein, Kreiger, and Proof carry as much weight in the AR world as they do in precision rifle bolt-action guns?

    I'd argue that a lot of people who argue about X barrel being more accurate than Y barrel can't shoot the difference. If you can, the price premium between something like a Noveske / Centurion Stainless vs a Proof / custom CLE/Craddock Krieger or Bartlein becomes easier to stomach. Most...

    Leupold MARK 5HD 2-10x30

    What a disappointment I would have probably gotten one but a $500 charge for illumination is ridiculous and they couldn’t even come out with a basic Christmas tree style reticle?!

    What parts of the rifle lend themselves to accuracy?

    I thought you may have not been a troll up to this point but competitive airsoft? And why starting in 2025 lol? In the off chance you aren’t a troll or bot, you have more than enough info to complete 20 builds, let alone 7. You’re suffering from paralysis by analysis, information overload. And...

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    I thought those blem uppers that BCM sent the email out were MK2, but they were in fact their original. In another email they sent out around Black Friday they had “cosmetic blem mk2 receiver extensions” that’s where the confusion happened.

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    Training with your firearms is absolutely crucial and I don’t think it gets emphasized or talked about enough. LMT still makes the specwar upper and I just watched a live stream with one of their main reps, they are going to do more Specwar uppers. It might take a while though. Another option...

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    So it looks like you have put a lot of thought into this which is awesome! I have all sorts of different barrel lengths and AR-15 setups and if I had to start all over again with what I have learned, this is what I would do. 12.5” GPR Rifle/Upper: ADM complete rifle or upper or LMT Specwar...

    New Aimpoint Duty RDS

    A friend of mine got one so we installed it and hit the range. Here are my thoughts. Battery Compartment: Surprised no one has mentioned this yet but the battery compartment is a bit of a nightmare. I have a few T2's and was expecting to pop the battery in, screw the cap on, and be done...

    I just picked a couple of the SSA-EX lightening bow triggers up, I'll post here when I get them in and compare them to the SSA-E.

    SPR: LMT vs CLE Krieger/Bartlein

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, most likely going with the LMT and stainless barrel and if accuracy is lacking, CLE will be getting a call.

    SPR: LMT vs CLE Krieger/Bartlein

    Hi all, Another SPR thread for everyone to enjoy. I’m in the market for a new SPR and it will be a 16” 5.56 being fed exclusively BH MK262 Mod 1 and BH 77 tmk. Optic will be NF ATACR 4-16 tremor3. There will be a suppressor direct threaded onto the barrel (either CGS Helios DT or HYPERION K)...

    Noob to AR, need help.

    OP, in that price range, I would look at (in no order): BCM Recce 16 MCMR (with BFH barrel) FNH TAC3 LWRC DI Centurion MidWeight CM4 Cobalt Gen 1 BAMF PRO (they are blowing out the gen 1's for a good discount) Out of those, the FNH TAC3 and the Centurion would be my top choices.
