Heard Arizona and Nevada are nice this time around tho!

You might be able to pick up a few totally legal 10 round 458 socom pmags

I bought a few 30pmags that are converted to 10 round (makes them California legal) 1 rivet is all it takes to make it legal

A uhaul might also be good if possible

@Confused

Happens every 2-3 rounds.

Ah light strikes

I’m guessing trigger

I tested 3 BCGs

Yeah make sure your hammer spring isn't backward, that's the number one cause, and surprisingly easy to mess up.

I bought the rifle off armslist. It was a safe queen and the dude installed an aftermarket trigger.

I’ll take a look at it.

If it's not a backward hammer spring, then it may be a weaker hammer spring to make the trigger pull lighter.

Shit was annoying cause I was going to put 1200 rounds through yesterday.

Thanks fam.

It’s not backwards

Saving that image of the correct and wrong way lol im building one atm

@[CA] SoyBoi 62 gr soft points preferably barrier blind

Do you know what brand the trigger is?

Also green tip is trash, doesn't fragment due to the steel tip. The article will list barrier blind and non barrier blind loads that are tested and good to go.

Green tip is actually awful

Idk why people like it so much

They like it because the military used it. Unfortunately that's like saying you clean your floor with a toothbrush because someone did it in boot camp.

M855 equals good 249 ammo and that’s pretty much it

Also missed your link but that link is dead on

Isn't green tip better id you wanna go through soft materials and prevent fragmentation

Fragmentation is where 5.56 gets its stopping power

Slightly better than green tip

Yes in those barrels it’s good

I’ve seen people suggest running it in their 10.5 and it’s effective up to like 80 yards or something

Typically it's best to run heavier stuff because it has more mass to fragment and they're longer, leading to a better ballistic coefficient and longer effective range. Though for home defense the latter part isn't really an issue

Honestly for home defense, you may want a non barrier blind load as it'll be less likely to put holes in your neighbor's house

Any of yall have tips for carrying an extra rifle on ya but have a large backpaxk on?

Like concealed or just normal carry?

Normal

My issue is having a rifle in hand, and a large backpack, so trying to carry the extra rifle

Also assume wearing plates and pouches

I guess a two point sling with a quick adjuster like the blueforce gear sling. Keep it at the tight setting while slung at your chest, then grab the handle and yank it out when you need to shoulder it

I won't need quick access to it, ill look into it, I have a sling coming in that might work for it

Some backpacks are made to carry a rifle straight up and down on the side of it, but I don't really do anything where I would have my rifle stowed somewhere I can't quickly access

@Confused ALG Defense ACT

Could it be the buffer?

Huh that's a good budget trigger, shouldn't give you problems. Sometimes it can be a light buffer but it's almost always something else

That doesn't look like an ALG hammer spring though

ALG hammer springs are either dark gray steel or purple for the reduced power ones

It might not be. It was a BCM I bought about 2 months ago for 850.

The description said it has an ALG trigger.

Areo precision, decent equipment? I have an opportunity to be a dealer for them

Aero is good

I’ve got the Aero 10 and a Yeet canon stripper lower.

Good quality? In spec so to speak? No blemishes etc

No blemishes. I haven’t done any measurements or anything. I’m gonna take it to my FFL down the street who’s a gunsmith. Have him look at it before i do anything with it.

Aero apparently is the best budget option available on the market. The Aero 10 is amazing.

I got a PSA upper months ago to stick on my binary lower. That shit some blemishes. One of them was marked off by a sharpie. 😂😂😂

Aero is kinda like if psa was serviceable. The best bang for your buck, and respected by the community. Apparently thunder ranch even has a class where you build an aero ar and take the class with it.

Their M5 series is what people use almost exclusively for ar10 builds these days. You'll see people in competition running aero precision 308 receivers with stupid expensive barrels like compass lake engineering

Good to know, I'm gonna work on developing that relationship with Aero

Thanks guys

They're also about to come out with an affordable ar9 with last round bolt hold open

Good!

PDWs are very popular

aero is a good balance of cheap and actually to spec, so it will sell easily and you won’t be fucking people buy selling them bad stuff

@Confused I don’t know anything about that optic in particular, but at least cortex is a reputable company

@Crye Salesman my main concern, I wanted entry level.with reliability

Aero is a great place to start. Actually I think I have an idea for you. Have a package deal with aero parts and a short class on how to build an ar

Personally, if I was going to sell parts like that, I’d do my own QC too

We are too small to offer classes now, however was my goal to start something like that in the next 36 months

Yeah i was considering BCM part kits for building

You *might* get a better deal from colt or Sionics as a distributor, but I don’t know

I'm linked into 15+ Distributors, just trying to get it all online.

Haven't gotten around to watching yet but TFB did a collaboration with thunder ranch and aero precision. https://youtu.be/dv59ftIw3lY

Friday and Saturday, i was emailing and applying With all of them

Very highly regarded firearms school

👍 👍

Colt's reputation has kinda gone down the drain

Over priced bare bones

Just buy a BCM at that point

Their LPK’s are still correct, that’s what we were talking about

@Confused >TFB. 😒

It's on my computer at home so i don't have it with me but i had a meme that said something along the lines of Psa is just as good as colt, so buy a solgw instead

Tfb is okay. They can be a bit clickbaity but usually on dual articles or videos like "why the ak is better than the ar / why the ar is better than the ak" Not my first source but they're well produced

Been playing around with the eclips on my PVS14 it’s bad ass

Yeah those are awesome

Kinda weird how it seems the best articles are written by random dudes on forums. No big website, just some scientist's post about ballistics and whatnot

You talking about DocGKR?

Well they're one but not them specifically

Whomstdve

Just curious

Just provided some kid a year of clean drinking water by purchasing a 3 pack of life straws.. been reading up on these for the past few hours. Decided they are a good thing to have. Anyone have any experience with them?

I remember when they were designed and featured in popular science. Haven't heard anything bad about them

Does anyone have experience in the AR platform while being cross eye dominant? I’m right handed all the way but left eye dominant. I’ve grown up shooting right handed weapons with my left hand no problem. I got my first AR about 8 years ago but I’ve only ever done the basic target shooting but I would like to take some carbine courses and get my skills up. I’m looking for suggestions on ambi controls and techniques on running right handed ARs as a lefty in a tactical sense. I need to get better all around but particularly in speeding up my manipulation of the weapon and transitioning between targets.

I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I just run a red dot or a scope and put the dot/ crosshair on the target with both eyes open and it works fine

It really doesn't affect anything, just train through it and make sure your bullets go where you want

Right on, I’ve always felt strange/slightly uncomfortable with both eyes open through a scope. I have switched to a red dot recently and I’m getting comfortable with both eyes open left handed. I guess I may need to just work it right handed and get used to it that way

I’d rather not run lefty if I can avoid it, although it should help me when going off handed

@Confused how tf do you do that

I'm cross dominate too, but I can't do that, I have to have one eye squinted to get it to focus on my right eye

I'm gonna practice both handed, but wish I could switch eyes lol
