What have you done to your AR(s) today?

AR/M4 AR General Discussion

Thought I would start a thread for those that want to share what they did with their AR today. Sometimes you do just a little that your proud of but it’s not enough of a big deal to start a new thread to talk about. Post it here! Replace parts, buy new parts, clean or modify existing parts let’s here about it.

I’ll start off with a couple of new goodies I ordered for the new BCM 16" I finished yesterday.

Picked up a EO Tech ESPS3-0 for $372 shipped and a G33 STS for $454 shipped, they should fit well on top of the BCM. Also ordered a BCM KAG Grip, it looks light and it was cheap so I thought I would try it out.

Post pics if like.

What did you do o your AR today?

Where’d you get the EOTech for that price?

3

I shot it…

Re-zeroed the 16" with the new direct thread dedicated can. Started stripping the paint of one of the SBR’s. Ugh.

5

Where’d you get the EOTech for that price?

I found it on Ebay, the G33 is new and the seller has sold 133 of them. The 3-0 was an open box return.

6

I approved the artwork for an engraving on a lower

7

Care to post a pic of what it’s going to look like?

Having never painted an AR, do you strip all the old paint every time? You can’t just paint over it?

I built a Noveske lower. W/ goodies from KAC, DSG, Troy, Magpul & a sweet FDE Vltor eMod.

I was actually heading out to pick up a stripped KAC lower today until I ran across the EO Tech stuff at a decent price finally. There goes my May monthly spending allotment!

I’m still in the research and planning phase anyways, KAC stripped lower is the only part I’ve decided to use for sure. And I’m leaning on having the completed rifle being a 300 BLK, haven’t decide on 16" or SPR. I’m guessing I could turn in a form 1 for an SBR using the ser # off the KAC and then just use a low barrel length number like 8-9". I think I read if I do that I can always go longer just not shorter, I’m just not sure if I send it off as a 300 BLK SBR if it has to saty 300 BLK if that’s what the stamp says?

Lots of research before I buy to much…

purchased a 4oz bottle of Slip 2000 EWL that BCM recommended to me after I smelled how good their bolt carrier groups smell when new.

Whatcha for cooking?

Sorted AR mags. I keep them in FAT 50 ammo cans 28 mags per can, 28 rounds per mag. I have four FAT 50’s and some random mags - including some five and 20 rounders. I use one can until all the mags are empty, then start on another. When two are empty I take the mags from the bucket, sort them and check them over.

Raining, so did not go to shoot my AR. If I don’t have to go out, I don’t go out. Nice to have that choice.

Otherwise, I’m in the process of media blasting a Browning slide from a surplus Hi-Power I bought to play with and sometimes carry when I shot one of my AR’s. I just removed the Heinie Straight 8’s from the side. The LOL is that I sent the slide to Don Williams at The ACtion Works to have him cut the dovetails and install them. Now I’ve taken them off before the slide was even back on the gun.

I completely and heartily recommend Mr. Williams and his work. Pleasant man to deal with, quick turnaround, honest to a fault, and great work. The Action Works http://www.theactionworks.com/

You should have splurged and grabbed the Slip 2000 ETL, then you could have lubed/degreased and killed all your carbon!

Am I the only one that had to google all this to decipher what it means?

Sounds like a nice new toy! You know what we say about the rain in the Infantry…

Since I’ve been asked by two different members- I’m having a two bullet icon engraved in the third selector position for a binary trigger

16

Took all my WML lights batteries out and tested them with my volt meter.

17

I didn’t have to google, and its not about ARs which is what this thread was supposed to be about…

Anyway, I pulled out two stripped lowers to assemble this weekend.

And read all 32 pages of the NRA/CRPA lawsuit filed against the AR ban in Commiefornia. First good news here in a long time.

I also did some more research on the Trijicon 1-8X.

Big deal today. Installed rail covers port / starboard on carbine. Have a pair of angled sights enroute for same. And a Sparc AR on its way for BiL which I’ll install, zero, etc

You didn’t order the SPARC from PSA did you? I did and it still hasn’t shipped and it’s been 4 days going on 5, still says processing on their page even though the payment cleared the same day I ordered it.

Now that I bought the EO Tech gear today (already shipped) I might call and see if I can cancel my order for the SPARK AR.

So I’m going to vent about the USPS, I ordered an new QD sling that was suppose to be here today. It arrived at our post office yesterday.
Last night it left our post office and was sent to the USPS an hour and a half away.
Today it left that post office and was sent to an office that is 2 1/2 hrs away.

So I could have spent today walking around the house with an AR strapped to myself with a shiny new sling but instead I had to carry it in my hands while walking around the house doing reflexive firing drills. Not as fun.

Vent complete…

I edited my post to conform.
