I got dat info
Easy there speed racer
Hey @ThaOGKB we gonna chill on that talk
If you have **informational materials for long distance learning** we have a channel for that
It’s called <#663054896337125376> you walnut
Idk weather to put this in here, <#574290286340079626> or <#644735944771108878> so here it goes. 'why you dont let anyone and I mean ANYONE touch your rifle'
My first AR build was not long after I transfered out of active duty Army and into the Reserves. I did a SHIT load of research and decided on how I should build it. So I did with the lower I got for christmas and was all but completed exept the bolt carrier group
I had a friend (im involved is scouting) who was a scout dad, loved guns and had a gunsmith buddy. He caught wind (from my dad) I was building a rilfe and wanted to take it give it to the gunsmith buddy to make sure it didnt 'blow up in my face'. I said sure and a week later it come back.
Que 'who's gun is this?' different stock, different mag release, different foregrip, different everything. The guy dropped 3k worth of parts into my gun, finished it, guccied it. The only things that remained of what I bought was the barrel, upper, lower, buffer tube and trigger.
Im fucking pissed. Complained a little, dad ended up liking it so i gave it to him and rebuilt my own
So moral of this story NEVER let anyone touch your rifle
Jesus H. dude, that's fucked
RIP
What happened to the parts
But yeah, unless you're a complete retard or have no faith in yourself, there's really no need to send an AR to a 'smith. AR's aren't "built" they're assembled
He gave back the parts he took off which went into my new rifle. yea but I was new and wasnt sure yaknow?
Honestly the first one I hand build I'll take it to my trusted gunsmith just cause I want that assurance
Just to be safe
The problem I had with my build was aligning the gas port just right
They were really expensive magpul parts which I didnt mind but the point is that he said 'eehhh just do it anyway I dont think he'll mind
Regardless
The fact that you messed with someone's pride and joy
Just cause
That's wrong
Especially when you were never given permission
Honestly I dont know who to be mad at because I dont know who decided to put the parts on my rifle, my buddy or the gunsmith
...
I don't know what to tell you man
Just thought Id sgare
This is it minus the sight and grip
I mean I built my own and never took it to a smith. I figured since I wasnt actually modifying anything I was fine, since building an ar is pretty much like playing with lego
I mean we're everywhere. No one escapes the reach of the Gøøns
second mud test on the aug, total failure
so sad, I love the aug too
Looks like the ejection port got filled with sticky mud, causing the FTE
seems about right
The charging handle slot getting filled is unacceptable though
Highly unlikely to actually happen, but hopefully this causes Steyr to do an update. They've not touched anything on the AUG for years, outsourcing any updates to third parties
dude I know right
the a3 has remained essentially unchanged for the better part of a decade
Yup.
only corvus defensive has made any sort of "rail system" for one
i would absolutely love to see Steyr update the aug, that would make my wallet tremble
Dude, the Corvis rails look like hot trash, hanging inches off the gun. I wouldn't trust them
i agree
