    14.5" or 16" with mid length gas?

    Re: 14.5" or 16" with mid length gas? 3 months ago I found myself basically where you are. I wanted a 14.5" barrel with pinned muzzle device making it a "legal" 16". I already owned a 16" BCM (SS410) Midlength upper and wanted to get a BCM 14.5" to go with it. But I ran into a few things I...

    Looking for an SPRish AR and need some advice

    Re: Looking for an SPRish AR and need some advice So why wouldn't a 2-7x or 2-8x work well for close stuff? Not questioning your choice just trying to understand optics more.

    14.5" or 16" with mid length gas?

    Re: 14.5" or 16" with mid length gas? Also it helps to know what your planning to do with the rifle such as range plinking, classes, hunting, service/patrol rifle or competition shooting... Is weight and balance a concern? Always try to give as much detail as possible like specs, budget...

    14.5" or 16" with mid length gas?

    Re: 14.5" or 16" with mid length gas? I have both! But my 14.5" w/ pinned comp rifle is still waiting for the BCG and handle to get here... I too had the same delima. I chose an inexpensive compensator (Vltor VC-1 $51) that accepts the Gemtech halo suppressor for a future application. Oh and...

    Looking for an SPRish AR and need some advice

    Re: Looking for an SPRish AR and need some advice Are you sure 1-4x is going to be enough at 600+ yards? I'm currently shopping optics for my rifle (S-DMR style) and I'm looking at 1.5-x, 2-x, possibly even 3-9x for 600 yards. But optics is all new to me so what the hell do I know... Just...

    Rifle Scopes My first scope need help making the right choice

    Re: My first scope need help making the right choice The front sight post will eventually be replaced with an adjustable gas block. Battle Comp has a new muzzle device BC2.0 bi-lock which accepts Gemtech Halo suppressors. Once that comes avaliable to the public I'll start swapping parts.

    6 months back I completed my first rifle build. Until that point I have never owned a rifle and had very little experience. I spent roughly 6 months picking apart forums,threads, articles and reviews. I concluded I wanted to build my lower myself, which I did and selected an upper based on my...
