Anyone have any opinions on Glock 19 trigger upgrades or anything I can do to the factory trigger to clean it up a bit

I have one, I took it off of my glock though. It would be decent for a rifle sight, but I don't like it on the pistol.

The triangle is way too big when not close to your eye

I have seen a few bull pup sks online that look not bad sadly it illegal to turn a firearm into a bull pup. But I can go to the gun store and buy a tavor or a type 97 etc. Lol

Illegal in Canada

Really? That sucks man. I gotta say, don't really care for SKSs, they are okay. But I actually like the bullpupped ones.

I have 4 sks and have beat the piss out of them. For what they are they are good rifles but they are certainly no Ar15 or Ak47

Its considered the poor man ak up here

The only other legal AK is the Finnish Valmet m78 I think is the designation

Valmets are nice

And they usually go for about $8000 bucks unless you get the hunter version which is $3000 bucks then you have to find a RPK or Galil parts kits to make it look slick

@GRANITE I have replaced every aftermarket trigger I have in my Glocks back to factory with a - connector, I’m much more accurate with a consistent wall

Side question what's a good brand of underbarrel flashlight for a Jericho 941 in 9mm with a built in underbarrel rail

- connector?

I should check the rail dimensions when I get home

My HK SL8-4 has been a pig to find parts for as the germans like to make shit expensive or proprietary or both lol

I had swapped my magwell out for and AR15 magwell adapter on my SL8-4 because most AR15 mags are like $25 $30 bucks up here and G36 mags are like over $60 and like god damned unicorns to find sometimes

I mean it *looks* like the standard dust cover rail, which means streamlight, surefire, etc would pop right on. But could be some other weird Nonsense

@Potatoes O'Reilly pain in the balls to carry

Besides the extra staps on the shoulders for routing, does anyone see a functional or structural difference between these two?

Anyone know an ar-15 piston conversion that can use any bolt carrier?

The top one likely has better weight distribution while the bottom one likely breathes better

Also di and piston bcg's are fundamentally different because they operate differently. You have to use a bcg made for the piston system you're using

The gas key is the most noticeable difference. You can't use a di gas key with a piston

And the worst part with piston on an AR, is each company basically has a proprietary system, it's not standardized, so you have to get theirs.

Personally I prefer regular DI ar's. They're lighter, less front heavy, and handle mud better. You have to clean them more, but all that gunk in a piston gun still has to be cleaned out, you're just cleaning it from a different area.

Pretty much everything stated above

All the extra hassle and it’s still going to gas you in the face suppressed 😂

Should I run soft point for 223 or fmj?

I think soft point us better for self defense than fmj

Heard its better than hollow on penetration, but still expands well

Reference this

It'll give you a list of ammo and why it's preferred

If you'd like to know what kind of ammo you should run in whatever caliber gun you have, use the command !ammo

Pinned a message.

!ammo

I have been bamboozled again

Wack, of course it's not working

actually I think mee6 is down

```fix I see you're asking which ammo in X caliber is best for self defense again. Reference this article with data by DocGKR, an actual fucking doctor. ``` http://www.ar15.com/ammo/project/self_defense_ammo_FAQ/

Oooooooh

But why doesn't it have .303

people use 303?

Mostly kidding but .303 fucks

Hey I got some questions that I didnt think would be safe to discuss on the facebook groups, if this isn't the place for them either than is there anyone I can talk to about it. I'm wondering (for scientific reasons of course) about the reliability and use of swift links.

Happy I was able to stock up befor Ammo got pricy befor the plague

Also I have been wondering about getting another ar pistol and just wondering what setups people are running with 8.5" barrels

SL tldr. Adding junk into your fire control group (assuming you have a manufacturer's license mr fed boi) typically decreases your reliability significantly. Another downside is that it completely eliminates the capability to fire in semi autistic mode

Well that sounds far less attractive now

It's a novelty, and definitely not worth it, even with the proper anti fido-ventilating licensing

Get yourself a binary trigger if you're looking to have fun, though even that decreases reliability

Appreciate the info, I've looked into binary triggers before just haven't convinced myself to get one yet. anyone here run an echo sport 2 enough to judge the reliability of the trigger system itself ?

Haven't ran the sport. The regular one seems to work decently enough but you may need a heavier buffer. For some reason running a light buffer with it leads to light strikes, and it's a known issue. The trigger pull is also kinda weird, long. Fun, but a high end semi trigger will do you better if you're shooting seriously

I've got a friend who has an rpk with a binary trigger, and that sounds like a ton of fun. Haven't seen it personally though

Greetings gents. If you guys need anything let me know. Im a dealer and get you all a hook up on parts/accessories.

Damaged the spalling on my plates with a bad fall, anyone know a good fix?

On steel I'm assuming?

Does it matter? It's just a deep gash in the spalling

Spray on truck bed liner works okay

Thanks

It also works if you spray it on yo bullets

Shhh

Of course if it is steel it's all gonna come off after the first hit anyway

It's composite, ceramic on steel. Ceramic didn't crack as far as I can tell, nothing feels loose or anything like that

Never headed of a caramic + steel plate.

It's a ceremic plate with a steel backing to it, unless it is some unicorn of a plate

I'm going to be prepping to participate in protests and other "events" we might find ourselves involved in. My plan is to not necessarily be on the Frontline, but to stand back and offer support for weapons repair and the such. Anyone have insight i could use on what I might need for a backpack portable gunsmiths kit?

Spare parts, Allen Keys, lubricants, and one of those AR multi tools, everything else a smith would need is either shop or vehicle mounted due to weight

Literally no offense, but if you’re asking those questions, you should get your learn on first

Way better stuff to pack for a protest vs an armorers kit

Hey guys, what's the opinion on mk318? Seems expensive but im thinking about zeroing my 16" 1:7 twist with it. Was thinking m855 would be similar enough to practice with in order to save money at the range.

That’s a good idea, but it’s essentially Speer gold dot, so just get whichever is cheaper tbh.

Nice, whoever set that up

Trying to put together commands for commonly asked questions

> Why aren't drum mags more popular? Is it a reliability thing? @Potatoes O'Reilly its a combination of weight/size, ability to be stored effectively on person, and ofc reliability

So good news and a question

I finally was able to get a BCM reece 16 itll be here Friday, and the question i have a glock 43 that just recently started short stroking I suppose, it start to chamber the next round but doesn't seem to have enough power to chamber it all the way. Would that just be the recoil spring or w.e being worn out?

That’s the most likely explanation

There’s other possibljties tho

I figured as much I just haven't been to concerned about it though bc it seems to be very picky with the speer gold dots i shoot and I have an FNS 9c so its really just a convenient little gun I wouldn't mind carrying

318 is way better than 855

Is it malfunctioning on gold dots, or range ammo?

Its both, its just every other round for gold dot and thats what I carry.

I think the range ammo is basic 115 grain CCI blazer

Any FFLS in here I have some questions

> Literally no offense, but if you’re asking those questions, you should get your learn on first @Crye Salesman none taken. I've been working as a small arms and heavy weapon repair man for almost two years but have only done a little fidgeting with a mobile tool kit so I was looking for ideas to supplement my own.

Ah, okay. The way you phrased it made me think you meant “what tools do I need for guns?” Not, “what’s a good *small* kit”

Interesting take from SOTAR. No cerakote. Mostly has to do with guns that have cerakote sprayed on the inside for some reason. I wasn't aware it was common to spray it on working components and shit like feed ramps, which is obviously stupid.

The idea is the ceramic will reduce ware and act as a dry lubricant

Idk if that’s how it works in actual use

I know MAC did a segment on it

Hey all. Came into possession of another AR lower and I'm looking for ideas on what to do with it. I already have a BCM 12.5" pistol, and an 18" SPR type rifle as my main rifle. Open to a more team oriented build also (37mm underneath or something). Ideas?

Completely wrecks the tolerances when bubba doesn't mask the rifle properly though. As for the rifle, best place to start is determining a goal for what you'd like to do, then build a rifle around that

Random idea, shorty 7" 300blk with a collapsible or law folder stock. Hard hitting travel gun

I have one with a 7.5" barrel and a law folder.
