@Crye_Salesman
I know it's not their fault, but still BS.

Because I would generally consider that to be a terrible idea, but your product and results actually look decent

I build a lot of crazy shit. I watched the one vid of the dude that made the home made plate, and did it better. I used a fiberglass microfiber and a fiberglass bonding agent and used more layers+ had consistent pressure over the entire product, and used a garage to keep a more consistent temperature to cure it.

I’m gonna order some dirt cheap steel plates to be able to make them curved.

Im also currently working on building a candlepic bowling ball cannon.

@KnightArkane what is it made of

ive heard you can just layer a shit load of fiberglass

it doesnt work for anything but small arms

I’m sure some of those lowers will still be ending up in Canada

well layering fiberglass is essentially the same thing as layering kevlar, just lower strength

@MrCaviar 5.56 went straight through. I’m gonna test a magnum slug and 7.62 this weekend.

not surpised

That’s the vid I based it off of. I used more layers, fiberglass microfiber and a different bonding agent. I also used a better compression so there were no bubbles and it was consistent all the way through. Mine cost close to $45.

well theres gotta be a way to make it stronger

maybe a thin sheet of metal on the front?

Or in the middle.

maybe

Any forward grip brands yall would recommend

Railscales

@Sparrow that’s mostly likely going into “gen II”. This was 30 layers combined. I’m thinking maybe 2 pieces, 5 normal layers, plate, 10 layers, plate, 5more layers. I’ll most likely leave 1/4 inch of material round the outsides of the plates so it binds nicely. Then sprayed with bedliner as a last little bit of binding.

JFC I spent entirely too much time on this thanks to some misplaced hyperfocus, but several people just had to go on about how their anderson rifles have never had any malfunctions after infinity billion rounds and everything they make is just pure fucking gold and can't go wrong.

Sure it belongs in memes but, I mean c'mon

One of my best friends back home has an AR with an Anderson lower and PSA upper. Holy shit does that thing suck. He’s had to replace so much shit on that gun and still touts it like it’s king.

What lower would yall recommend

Aero precision at least. I like them because there's a grip screw that tightens down on the wobble between the upper and lower. However, it's generally best to buy a matched set upper and lower from whatever brand you're buying, as they tend to fit the best. SOLGW has oversized lugs that are made specifically for their lowers to fit without any wobble at all.

80% equals no paperwork

With 6.8 SPC replacing 5.56 NATO should we follow suit?

No

6.5 grendel master race

@Bogs_Bunny civilian market will adopt it 5-10 years after the military properly adopts it (which it hasn't yet). We won't get any good rifles, gear, or ammo till then. Stick to 5.56 for the time being.

Prepping for travel, realize that my helmet takes 10 batteries of 3 separate types to run

I was thinking might be a good idea to run rechargeable batteries

6.5 Grendel? First I'm even hearing of it.

It's an AR caliber

Supposed to be decent

The Grendel is amazing

I've of the best to suppress as well

12.5 and 18 are the two barrel lengths that have done me well. Stupid accurate out of the 12.5 even at 400-500 yards. I was shocked

The military doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to adopting new rifles and calibers. I won't believe it until it's in widespread use
