Ahh yes, the assist, lol
I'm building an AR this weekend and don't remember part names XD
*when your gun jams because you bought an Anderson so you smash the forward assist until the brass is permanently deformed into the chamber*
Nothing moves if I hit the forward assist
Lol I don't have anything loaded
Dummy rounds come Sunday
Don't be a bitch my boy. It's a gun, not a toy.
Tear that shit apart until you fix it.
That's what I'm doing
Trying to use the marketplace of ideas to gather professional consensus. Is my gas block too far back possibly?
Not likely... your bolt doesn't really seem bad, and they tend to have an area where they rest.
Definitely disassemble. Look at anything that could interfere with the rear lug. Gas block wouldn't do anything.
I've had a similar issue before, and it was the hammer getting in the way I think.. Or something. It was something simple I forgot about
Gonna take it all apart and start over
Mostly, anyway
Just a slight overhang
Even if j crank the buffer back a bit, the bolt catches on the top inner edge of my lower
I recently ran into a similar situation with my AR pistol and I'm not sure how it happened.
Ok y'all, sorry if this has been beaten to death already but..BCM vs LWRC. Seen both at about the same price point, hear good about both. What do y'all think?
My freedom is just a few cm of heat treated aluminum away
I like the BCM handguard I bought, wouldn't have gotten a different one in hindsight. Very tight fight but...I like it that way
And LWRC is more expensive
BCM parts are very tight, I hear taking their rifles apart past a field strip is a bitch, lol
But also a pro of buying them.
I've always kinda been told that for a "field" rifle you should at least go BCM. But lwrc seems to always be mentioned next. Trying to sort out competition rifles from actual working rifles on the higher tier stuff basically to figure out what I want for the next toy purchase.
My first attachment? 1000 rounds of ammo
Then onto greener pastures
I've heard good things on LWRC... but every time I hear about working rifles, I hear about BCM. And another rifle I've read good things on, is the Barrett REC7
I've always been curious about the Barrett stuff but I know absolutely no one with any hands on experience with them. Same with KAC and Hodge. Read good stuff but can't find anyone who's ever pulled a trigger
KAC is good stuff, been up and close with then. No idea on Hodge, and I'd like to get a hold of a REC7 because It's like an HK416 that's not 4,000+ hahaha
Haha yeah. I'll throw some money down for quality but $4k is a little much.
Granted, they still MSRP at 2,500. But I'd rather pay that than 4k
You and me both. $2500 is pretty much my absolute limit.
I don't even wanna pay that.. but it is a short-stroke piston-driven AR.
I would prefer to not pay that either, just saying if there was a rifle that did absolutely everything I wanted short of reaching down and giving me a handjob everytime I shot it, then yeah.
Any 308/30-06 rifles yall would suggest for an into rifle for precision shooting?
Depends on your price range and platform
You wanting bolt action, Savage 110 LR is a decent out of the box intronrifle.
I've been researching it lately and it seems there's a few good options.
Tikka t3x for 700-1000 usd, I suggest the varmint / tactical barrel
Howa 1500 500-1000 usd, don't let the price fool you, it's extremely high quality with sub 0.5moa using quality ammo, and a flat bottom receiver. You can pick up a barreled action for 500 and mount it on a chassis / have it bedded in a stock of your choice for great customization.
Ruger precision rifle - great out of the box though a tad heavy and a bit more expensive. Supposedly have a few minor problems but I haven't read enough about them.
Remington 700 - poor quality these days but so much parts support you can literally have one built without any Remington parts. More expensive than it's worth.
Ruger American - idk anything about it but it exists
Mossberg patriot - also exists
Barrett fieldcraft - very light, though the barrel heats up quickly. Expensive but barrett quality.
Savage has some stuff too, idk much about them.
Some things:
Get a heavy barrel, it's worth it for the accuracy as full size rounds heat up fast.
Pick moa or mrad and get a good scope, it's probably more important than your rifle. Look for stuff with a maximum magnification of around 12 to 18. You won't use anything past 15 for shooting because the mirage is too much to deal with. You can make thousand yard shots plenty easy with a fixed 10x scope and training. (Though i don't recommend fixed for a fighting or hunting rifle)
Once you have your scope and rifle, get a mount that lets you have the scope as close to your rifle as possible without touching it. Don't skimp on the mount, get a good one or your scope is useless.
