No AR15 Lego 'builder' has headspace gauges

2020-01-13 19:41:10 UTC  

Correct

2020-01-13 19:41:14 UTC  

i mean im a hobby gunsmith and i dont have headspace gauges

2020-01-13 19:41:21 UTC  

I have an AR15 and I'm a Lego builder and I have never headspaced a gun

2020-01-13 19:41:23 UTC  

if my shit blows up that will be my punishment

2020-01-13 19:41:28 UTC  

And yet they continue to have kabooms on ar15 snob free

2020-01-13 19:41:40 UTC  

Heres a mockup. Everything forward of the receiver is obviously not torqued.

Tight is more common than loose anyways

2020-01-13 19:41:56 UTC  

I headspace gauge everything I build

2020-01-13 19:42:08 UTC  

I have them for AKs, but I just buy barreled uppers normally

2020-01-13 19:42:15 UTC  

>i have the lower assembled
wheres your bolt catch bro

2020-01-13 19:42:18 UTC  

The trigger is a little mushy and fails to reset sometimes

2020-01-13 19:42:25 UTC  

But that’s because 80%

2020-01-13 19:42:26 UTC  

And I've never had factory parts gauge out too loose

2020-01-13 19:43:19 UTC  

Oh. Yeah. So the bolt catch is still a problem. It barely scrapes the 2 lower lugs so it doesn't really work right. I've got a new milspec catch on the way so I can see if that's the issue.

2020-01-13 19:43:20 UTC  

@glacial pace the spring flew across the room

2020-01-13 19:43:41 UTC  

Who said it

2020-01-13 19:43:48 UTC  

Who said that 80 looked clean

2020-01-13 19:43:53 UTC  

I took the catch off for now.

2020-01-13 19:44:02 UTC  

the fcg pocket looked clean 😔

2020-01-13 19:44:10 UTC  

Milling an 80 has fuck all to do with the catch.

2020-01-13 19:44:38 UTC  

I said it looked clean, but I’ve really only seen a few that weren’t fucking disasters

2020-01-13 19:44:51 UTC  

There's no way you fucked up the catch

2020-01-13 19:45:04 UTC  

the only things that you could have fucked up are the fire control group and selector hole

2020-01-13 19:45:10 UTC  

80 builders seem to trend low iq

2020-01-13 19:45:20 UTC  

@[redacted] exactly. Anyone who knows how to do an 80 would know this.

2020-01-13 19:45:23 UTC  

80 suppliers too

2020-01-13 19:45:34 UTC  

Even the selector hole is hard to completely fuck

2020-01-13 19:45:38 UTC  

yeah its not that you fucked it up its that your 80 is shit lmfao

2020-01-13 19:45:53 UTC  

I've seen 80s run fine with a selector that was drilled improperly

2020-01-13 19:45:58 UTC  

felt like shit but functioned fine

2020-01-13 19:46:01 UTC  

My 80 is from Noreen.

2020-01-13 19:46:19 UTC  

What were you using as a reference video for assembling your lower?

2020-01-13 19:46:45 UTC  

I think they may have fucked the pocket up but I'm going to test another catch first.

2020-01-13 19:46:57 UTC  

Lmao

2020-01-13 19:47:06 UTC  

Check the inside of your trigger pocket

2020-01-13 19:47:23 UTC  

Did you mill into anything farther forward than you were supposed to

2020-01-13 19:47:28 UTC  

What bcg

2020-01-13 19:47:37 UTC  

what jig were you using?

2020-01-13 19:48:01 UTC  

If you milled too far forward you could go into mag release pocket/bolt catch pocket

2020-01-13 19:48:26 UTC  

I don't know how you could do that
