AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[Kirk Freeman]

The Shootrite of 870 fame lol?

Correct that is where the mechanical failure/AD transpired during a TR Triad class (2 days pistol, 2 days carbine, 2 days shotgun).

Range toy project complete.

Hahahaha, I just went out to zero it today. It put down 1.5moa with a 10 shot group at 100 yards. I was about to fall down laughing.

Spare parts build 11.5" 556

 

[T-DOGG]

My first Noveske, an early model N4 18" SPR 5.56 that I picked up the other day. Intermediate gas system with a factory pinned gas block and an 11" Noveske/SWS handguard. Sub moa shooter with Hornady Frontier Match 62gr BTHP and Magtech 77gr OTM. I'll be getting different ammo for more testing. Currently has a Geissele SSA-E trigger and Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 glass. The flash hider has been replaced with a QD mount for my suppressor. I plan to spend a lot of time with this rifle.

Black & Tan! As fun to shoot as it is to drink!

I know he can't answer, but anyone know why the red dot mounted so high?

It's not only that, it's becoming more common because it lets you keep your head more upright. It's basically the new tend.

Almost like carry handle mounting optics isn't so silly afterall! Russians have preferred to keep their optics high all this time as well for similar reasons.

They are still silly if you aren't using nods on an ar15. Aks have always had super high optics out of dust cover access necessity.

Finished up the most recent build. Waiting on the red dot to arrive yet. 10.5" in 450 bushmaster. Close quarters thumper.

Putting together a new pistol in .300BLK.

Aero upper and lower
Tactical Kinetics 7.5in barrel
Aero S-One handguard
SB Tactical PDW brace
PSA MOE LPK
DD fixed irons

Debating whether or not I want to pull the Romeo 5 off of my 10.5 5.56 or go with a different optic for this build.

What are your preferred high value/budget optics for an AR pistol build?

In the world of red dots, typically Holosun, Primary Arms or the Romeo5. Romeo5 is my go-to. I have 4 of them and they haven't let me down yet. I specifically prefer the model with both high & low mounts that are available for around $120.

I'm very happy with mine given the price point, and may just pick up another one. Also considering a LVPO, but haven't looked into too may options there yet.

Scopelist has .300BLK Nikon 2-7x for $99 right now. Mine will be here tomorrow (and my mount from elsewhere hasn't even shipped yet sadly) so I don't know anything about it yet. First 2-7x.

For a 1-6x, my Swampfox Arrowhead is shaping up nicely. Ran it at the range once, need more purposeful trigger time to really give an opinion, so far it's fantastic.

I can't do dots except for a prism (astigmatism), Vortex Spitfire is really nice and I've a lot of time on that one.

I was looking at the Nikon. I really like the rimfire scope we have on one of the 10/22s, however am a bit hesitant to purchase a scope specifically for a particular caliber. Given that price though (roughly $50 less than what I was seeing), I may have to give it a try.

I'm in the same boat with astigmatism, however haven't run into an issue with the Romeo. I've noticed a bit of flare from my AT3 on the other 10/22.
