I might just upgrade to the TLR-1 anyway for it's more rugged construction.

2020-05-01 16:11:54 UTC  

Plus, I sitll got one of those old ass Army drop legs that were thick nylon. Hahaha

2020-05-01 16:12:45 UTC  

It's a good light. They also make extended switches for them

Roast my little hackjob. Chopped the 17 frame to a 19 and added grip tape

2020-05-01 16:13:24 UTC  

There's much more to be done. That's just the start.

2020-05-01 16:13:59 UTC  

But yeah, the TLR-1 is nice, I'll probably go with that. Or look at a Surefire X300 maybe.

2020-05-01 16:14:00 UTC  

I like it 🤷🏽‍♂️

2020-05-01 16:14:02 UTC  

Not sure yet

2020-05-01 16:14:24 UTC  

Like honestly, the grip tape was an awesome cheap mod.

2020-05-01 16:14:55 UTC  

It's actually a camoflauge barrel wrap tape. But... it's basically a thick padded grip tape

2020-05-01 16:16:44 UTC  

I might end up upgrading the trigger. I'll putting a red dot and some suppressor height sights on though. Maybe get a threaded barrel down the line too.

2020-05-01 16:17:24 UTC  

Gonna regret that grip tape later bud

2020-05-01 16:19:46 UTC  

So far I haven't. I even went so far as to put it on my ARs with A2 handles. But hey, if it gets to be a pain, I'll remove it.

2020-05-01 16:21:37 UTC  

Actually, while I have some time. I'm gonna do a little shooting before work.

2020-05-01 16:22:03 UTC  

Why regret it? @Crye_Salesman

2020-05-01 16:23:41 UTC  

I can think of two possible reasons... 1 That most tapes have a sticky residue that can be left on the weapon's surface. Mine does not, so I'm good there. And 2, the material itself can start to irritate the shooter or possibly come loose from friction/wear and tear.

However, even if that were the case, it is very simple for me to remove.

2020-05-01 16:24:02 UTC  

It's not a permanent fixture, just something to add a little extra meat on the grip.

2020-05-01 16:27:26 UTC  

Yeah that’s true. Idk I feel like I would like grip tape.

2020-05-01 16:27:38 UTC  

Stippling is nice but it’s a little slippery to me

2020-05-01 16:29:24 UTC  

I use Monett Self-Cling concealment wrap. Camo form LT

2020-05-01 16:29:40 UTC  

Made in the good ole USA

2020-05-01 17:33:24 UTC  

Looking to build a budget AR-15, don't really care if I have to piecemeal and assemble the parts but I do want it to be complete as opposed to an 80%er. Unless one of you kind gentleman has a drill press and experience with it. Any suggestions on online gun markets/manufacturers

2020-05-01 17:34:13 UTC  

Well... There's always PSA, but if you want to spend a little more for better QC, Aero.

2020-05-01 17:34:49 UTC  

I would recommend you save up a little bit, and use Aero receivers.

2020-05-01 20:46:03 UTC  

Many thanks, I was looking at those two. Seemed like a safe bet. Aero even has the pew pew pew model lower for sale currently

2020-05-01 21:14:48 UTC  

Drilling out an 80% will only really save you like $40-$50. If you don’t have the equipment and aren’t planing on doing several I would just go with a stripped lower. Pick one up for around $100.

2020-05-01 21:31:19 UTC  

Second for a stripped lower build you can save a bunch of money. Psa anderson and bear creek are good enough.

2020-05-01 21:32:06 UTC  

🤨

>budget AR-15

2020-05-01 21:34:04 UTC  

Areo

2020-05-01 21:34:12 UTC  

I’ll go ahead and say that any AR is better than no AR

2020-05-01 21:34:29 UTC  

Even a fucking omni 😂

2020-05-01 21:34:44 UTC  

I would avoid polymer lowers

2020-05-01 21:34:48 UTC  

Not really tho cause if it doesn’t work it’s not an AR

2020-05-01 21:36:20 UTC  

I personally have never had an AR that didn’t work. Not all of them worked great but worked none the less

2020-05-01 21:37:53 UTC  

Peeped this Chinese riot armor earlier this week. Is this acceptable Hawaiian Picnic attire?
