AR-15 Show and Tell: Second Edition

[BravoOneFour]

When things go back to normal or we split a case or two I’ll let you take it and run it for a day..It’s really enjoyable except the grip angle for me. I’m really into the more vertical/flat grips. It could just be my wrists from riding motorcycles my whole life lol

We are never going back to "normal" bro

Just out here hoping and dreaming of the day we can pay $5 a box for ammo

I remember when I was 18 and worked at walmart I used my discount and was getting tula 223 and 762 for $2 a box. We had no idea how good we had it back then.... And that was only 10 years ago.

Remember when Wal-Mart was selling Federal Champion and Winchester White Box 9mm for $16-$18 per 100? Ahh the good old days.

I can remember $10 value packs of 9mm at WalMart. That would have been 2002 - 2006 time frame. When I started shooting we still called IPSC (USPSA) locally. So $0.10 a round. It was an expensive game to play. I had to pay about $80 to get a Pre-Ban 13 round HiPower magazine.

Taking into account my salary then versus today 9mm is about the same price.

Yep. when they announced that they were ending handgun ammo sales, I bought a few thousand rounds of the 100rd federal for $18/box. down to my last 1000rds of it.

If you could build rifles better than Daniel Defense for $1,200, then you would have your own company. Instead, you just show you don't know much about rifles or spelling.

CLE builds way better rifles than DD.

DD is extremely overrated. Especially these days at their pricing now. At 1200 that rifle wasn't special, but it was an okay buy if you need that name for whatever reason you thought of.

But you claiming all this stuff in the last few posts and then saying "you don't know much about rifles" - when you DON'T know CLE is rich. Just rich.

JP PCC 9mm

 

[BigMoose]

Its not mine.. but.. I saw this for sale on one of the gun sites today.

Its likely just J&G trying to sell something they bought for cheap that someone brought in used...

https://www.jgsales.com/product/ke-...rrel-yellow-black-camo-custom-build-exc-used/

What the actual feck.. Someone took an authentic M16A1 upper, and front gas block, built it on a midlength PSA 16 inch barrel.

Then they slapped in on a polymer KP15 lower and ... put yellow tiger stripes on it.

"KE Arms KP15 semi auto custom build rifle in 5.56mm. Features a PSA 16″ lightweight barrel with black finish, mid-length gas system, 1:7 twist and excellent bore, and an A2 flashider. Has the A1 carry handle upper receiver, M16 pattern black nitride bolt carrier group, XS 24-7 tritium front sight blade, and the MagPul MOE-SL midlength green handguard with MLok. Lower is composite KE Arms monolithic marked “multi cal”, with PSA nickel Boron 2-stage trigger, billet mag catch, and the JP-SCS Gen2 silent captured buffer spring system. Includes one painted 40rd PMag magazine. Used in overall excellent condition."

LOL what..

Tiger stripe attempts on KE lowers are so cringe. Where could this stupid trend have started. Good thing INGO is not responsible!

I am more offended someone defaced some M16A1 parts with it!

 

[HonkieKowboy]

I'm working on getting a dedicated lower for this build but for now this'll do (the lower here is for my dissipator upper)

Upper consists of an Aero assembled upper, ballistic advantage premium black DMR barrel, yhm SLM handguard, caldwell XLR bipod, bootleg BCG, and a vector optics marksman 3.5-10x44mm scope

I'll also be handloading 77 gr ammo for it.

Did you use Bidenomics to come up with that assessment?

My friends and I call what we are experiencing Bidenomics and we don’t use that term as a positive reference. But that is another thread for another sub forum. What I will say is given inflation, current wages I don’t see ammunition prices dropping. Today might be the new “good ol days”

This is something I've wanted for so so so long but could never find a handguard I liked enough. Luckily we have @AllenM and his wonderful services.

I knew it would be tedious and a pain so I didn't ask for the longest time but after having him build my replacement for the old AR I actually used I was happy, but still wanted a front sight block cutout.

So like any other fiscally irresponsible person I had a second version of the same exact gun built but had him perform surgery on the handguard.

He said he thinks it's ugly but it came out 10x better looking than every other mcmr fsb cut I've ever seen.

How did that assemble?

 

[DDadams]

How did that assemble?

Tediously, I'm sure. I doubt it will be his favorite project of 2024 lol

 

[Kdf101]

I wanted to try my hand at painting an AR. This is my PSA upper on a KE lower. This is what I usually take with me on the four wheeler when I head out to the back pasture and woods.

 

[AllenM]

How did that assemble?

Assembly wasn't overly difficult just had to everything within hand guard opening. Tedious part was trying not to break the handguard when cutting the opening. I couldn't clamp it very tight for fear of crushing it

Just updated my long range AR with a S&W lower and a geiselle trigger
