AR-15 Show and Tell: Second Edition

[NyleRN]

Decided to paint my GTW blaster more appropriate to my surroundings. Left the ACOG/RMR alone in case I want to sell it in the event something greater/better comes along

 

[Creedmoor]

My Thing 2's BCM Gunfighter and ACOG.
He has a Socom 2 in jail for it.
It just tips 5 1/2 lbs.

Installed an Armaspec Fulcrum ambi safety in the Colt.


Very smooth operation. Comfortable levers. I'm diggin' it and the GF loves it compared to the V7 ambi that was installed.

Finally got my 1-8, and installed (A&A Optics)



Going to be forever before I can get it zeroed.

Decided to go big (but simple) with my first AR-15 build. I kept everything LMT, but basically made a slightly upgraded version of their MARS-L Piston rifle. It has the Shovelnose MRP upper with a 16” barrel, but barrel swaps take about 2 minutes with this upper. It can also be converted to DI with a barrel and BCG swap.
The LMT QD Rebar Cutter will be the muzzle device (it also serves as a muzzle brake) and just fits over the standard A2 birdcage. It’s still on the way.

Doesn't that just make you crazy? Have a build ready to rock and things keep you from putting the final touches to it.
Weather always seems to get in my way.

The V7 one is great with gloves but is surprisingly sharp otherwise. Good move.

6.5 Grendel on Centurion components. B5, BCM trigger, Radian CH, Griffin muzzle, 13.9 Craddock barrel.

Is it a p&w? If so which griffin is it?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

TMFS, IIRC.

I just ordered an H&R gun yesterday I’ll let you know what I think of it,

Thank you. Very kind. I don't know why but the H&R guns make me more excitable than the Brownell's Retro line.

The last two orders I've placed with Wing Tactical, they shipped the wrong part.
Somebody at Wing is apparently putting the wrong merch sticker on parts then shipping them.
Last time I deal with Wing, ever.

She doesn't care for the "saw toothed" edge of the V7s either.

Lots of people are saying that online in reviews - and it's odd because V7 is really good about smoothing out pretty much everything they ca.

Like I get having the edges so it's super easy to actuate but they could have done the exact same design but smoothed out the edges rather make them as sharp as they did...

They (the V7 ambi safety) are a bit aggressive in their tactile surface.
Switching to FIRE with my thumb doesn't bother me but setting to SAFE with my index finger first knuckle initially took some getting used to- Like guitar players having to build callouses on their finger tips before they can avoid the pain of playing.

So many of the other manufacturers' selectors are not tactile enough for me to get a good throw.
That causes me to apply so much pressure to ensure activation that it becomes irritating.
