Even more than that if they thought out the operating system and actually considered how to make the gas drive have a wider range of pressure and still be functional, which isnt that hard

Like the hk 416, and to a lesser extent the mk18, known for being viciously over gassed, supposedly for running through whatever you throw at it.
I don't know if this was by the choice of the manufacturer or mandated by the military though.

The MK18 is a...interesting discussion.
The 416 was designed *because* those overgassed .mil guns where tearing themselves apart every 6 months in some units

FAL: here have an adjustable gas system to overcome grime and variable ammo selection
G3: lol bolt go KACHUNK, *launches brass into orbit*

Anyone have that check off list of gear that was posted here before

@Artemis the HK416’s aren’t insanely bad with the vented gas blocks. I ran one with a suppressor for a while. Granted that setup was well over 10lbs how I usually shot it, but the felt recoil was less than my m4

@[CA] SoyBoi there’s one in <#706181190528270526>, although I’d rather have a discussion of what you *actually* need

@Crye_Salesman I have almost everything, except a helmet and Hawaiian shirt, idk what to look for in a helmet
Other than that it's double checking to see if anything small fell through the cracks

ach and ech are pretty good

My main thing is I have 2 backpacks
1 is if I have time and plan on being out for a while
2 I'm building currently, where I dont have time and its merely to get me out of where I'm at

First backpack is large and bulky
Second is compact, ideally I can take the large one, but the compact is if its life or death get out now kind of deal

How much do they run? Cause I can't drop 300 on a hemlet rn lol

heres an ach for 150 https://www.ebay.com/itm/ACH-MICH-HELMETS-Med-Large-and-XL-available/402167972659?hash=item5da3144333:g:v9gAAOSwM9VecR0N

So I've put together a little kit, using a lot of Aero Precision pieces due to the recommendation of one of you fine guys in the chat here. What do you think? I also have a stripped Aero lower I'm shipping separately to FFL dealer

Altogether I'm spending less than $600 not counting sights and attachments or if my stoner senses missed something in the build

@JackLAXXX are you saying that’s your entire list? Because you’re missing a lot

Oh nooo

Please, help me. First time assembling the whole thing myself. I have the parts for the lower, the gas tube, the BCG, charge handle..what am I missing

Not a lot

You need a muzzle device

@JackLAXXX you need a muzzle device and sights if some type. That's it. Once you get it together you can figure out how you want to setup a light and foregrip.

Oh an mags. Obviously.

Anyone know around what the torque spec is for a buffer tube on a AR, and also for a compesator on a crush washer?

Tag me so I get the notification!

Muzzle device? Well, I'm purchasing some high strength oil filters for my vehicle if that's what you're asking. Also yes, I am unsure of the sights I would like just yet.

I've so many different size threads that I need to filter oil through on my import cars. I don't even know where to start. But that's a project I'm not even going to worry about right now.

@JackLAXXX throw a flash hider in your cart and some MBUS and send

@JackLAXXX you'll still want at least a bird cage. Sights, unless you have an optic with an etched reticle you will also want irons.

Technically the torque spec for the buffer tube is 38-42 pounds. Typically people will snug it down tight until it doesn't really move, then stake the castle nut

This keeps it from backing off but you can still remove it if absolutely necessary. If you do remove it, you'll need a new end plate.
There's also a company that makes a ratcheting castle nut that doesn't require staking and can be removed, it's pretty nice.

I'm excited about my build but I feel like if I show yall imma get dragged lol

@[CA] SoyBoi so? Put your man pants on and do it anyway.

I'm just waiting for my lower 😒

@JackLAXXX forward assist*

@JackLAXXX I would just get an A2 charging handle for like 10 bucks, those strike industries one tend to snap. Also consider that you will need a barrel nut wrench and torque wrench. But overall looks like a decent parts list

Also is the barrel and handguard aero, or something that store is claiming as their own?

I'm a fan of BCM gunfighter CHs and Radian Raptor CHs

This arrived today, yeah buddy! Gonna mount it on a Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Dart Blaster .
