Man I’d hope people would be able to do that work to their BCGs lol
But then I’m sure there are some that can’t
Staking and replacing gas keys isn’t the easiest thing for most.
just buy new BCGs
🤦
Gotta know how to maintain your weapons before you can even really say you can use it to its ability.
Even if that means sending it off, maintenance is maintenance
@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ look into Pennsylvania gunsmith school that’s the one I went to. There are a few others in the country also.
I don’t need a gunsmithing license to replace a few parts on a BCG.
You don't need a gunsmithing license to do anything... Even when you go to a school for you, you get a certificate of completion of the course to show you've taken initiative to potentially start a career or side gig as a gunsmith....
Hence why his remark was funny
That said... Thought on reliability of 80% lowers? I have a polymer lower from james madison tactical and it seems stout; Though I was planning on only using it as a .22
Plan on building out some others pretty soon here, once I get a mini-mill because even the polymer was a bitch with just a cheapo drill press.
80% are fine just don’t fuck it up and yeah use the polymer for .22 and practice I wouldn’t want to use one in a life or death scenario I have seen too many bushmaster polymers split in half
Might try my hand at a polymer 80 glock as well; just so I can say I have a glock... Maybe then people will quit crying that my carry weapon is a makarov. #poorlife
80% receivers are perfectly fine if you do it right. Polymer lowers can be half decent if reinforced at common failure points, such as the buffer tube threads.
🤣🤣 no don’t get me wrong I will shoot Glocks all day but polymer ar no thank you
But most polymer lowers are not reinforced.
Most new polymer lowers are very heavily reinforced, either with copper inserts or just a lot of extra material. As long as your rifle isn't absurdly over gassed I'm sure it'd be fine. The MAIN reason I'm going to build this one as a .22 is so both of my daughters can shoot a .22 AR style rifle at the same time and be able to learn manual of arms on a lighter rifle until they are confident with them to move to .223
@Soulraiser I have my girls on .22 cricket and they love it. I plan on upgrading them when they get a couple years older.
Need goon kits for 1 medium male, 5'10 175lbs
1 male 6'4" 350lbs
Ca shipped
Do not trust polymer lowers, period. Even reinforced ones. ARs that is, on pistols they work fine.
You can't trust a poly lower to hand the twisting of the weapon's cycling and abuse of field use.
@P. goon kits?
Friends who have used them. I never bought one myself. But literally everyone I've ever talked to said get a metal one.
Fair enough
WTB plate carrier with plates. If someone has an extra lmk. Lead times online are unreal right now. Armslist doesn’t look promising.
damn
Going to show you what I’m thinking I’m going to get
Decent price? Idk shit bout gear really. I can build an ar ground up but haven’t gotten into gear
you need a back plate so tack an extra $200ish on that price
That has both plates. The plates are good. Carrier is airsoft grade, and it all seems a tad overpriced
How much should I offer him
