Any recommendations for a Gortex type jacket that isn't over 300 bucks? Need it for actual operations, just wondering if anyone has experience with decently priced options.

@Reno that's completely normal. Scared me too the first time I ever noticed that.
Message permalink: 708476286246584431
> @Reno that's completely normal. Scared me too the first time I ever noticed that. @GundyBun Fairly sure that’s an issue with firing pin protrusion. @Crye Salesman can you confirm?
Message permalink: 708480357921456211
I mean it depends how heavily the firing pin is marked.
Message permalink: 708480790891200544
Very lightly would just be because the firing pin is free floated and can bump around. If there’s a serious intent, it would be firing pin protrusion
Message permalink: 708480930532294667
Same happens on my Sig. I looked it up and it seems pretty typical
Message permalink: 708481865966944407
Message permalink: 708481920841023580
Yeah, like I said, a light dimple is fine. But there’s a fine line where your firing pin protrusion could be actually protruding when it chambers
Message permalink: 708482425671516222
Just file that shit down. Worked on my sks
Message permalink: 708483247968878602
Dimples on the primer after firing is super common. If you don't have a dimple, you might have to worry about light primer strikes.

Much appreciated, friend

No problem. The trick is to get that thing in without scratching your receiver with the punch

Are Burris optics worth a damn?
Message permalink: 708500668297642076
Burris seems to be okay? But... Honestly I'd just save a bit more and go with a bigger brand.
Message permalink: 708501816295424060
I mean if you can afford better I definitely would
Message permalink: 708502683199340594
I'd use Vortex over Burris. But if you can save up for Aimpoint or Trijicon or Primary Arms or EO Tech, I would.

It seems that my bolt catch and firing hammer are touching, I feel like that isn't a good thing. Leaves the bolt catch feeling rusty when assembled
Message permalink: 708503214646886460
> It seems that my bolt catch and firing hammer are touching, I feel like that isn't a good thing. Leaves the bolt catch feeling rusty when assembled @JackLAXXX Your hammer will not touch your bolt catch when it is cocked back.
Message permalink: 708503346650021951
But other than that, a successful first time assembling an AR15. Honestly...much simpler than I expected

Message permalink: 708503382419177503
Also, did you scratch your receiver?
Message permalink: 708503384680038511
I don't believe I scratched anything
Message permalink: 708503480511234109
The BCG will also stop that from happening iirc
Message permalink: 708503526300581888
Hey, for your first build. Using Pony lowers is probably a good choice actually. That was if it scratches, you don't feel so bad
Message permalink: 708503527105757265
A quick tip for anyone who is building receivers anytime soon is to take painters tape and put it on the receiver where your hammer will go.

(For the bolt catch)

Good to know regarding the burris vs vortex. Only vortex I can find right now are upcharged like hell, so just going to stick with shitty ruger backup irons until they start to come back.

Also, is my fire selector supposed to stay fixed to fire for any reason? When I open up and cock the internals I can freely move it but once I fire it remains fixed
Message permalink: 708506884021288980
it can only go into "safe" when the hammer is cocked back
