  1. Everything you ever wanted to know about the AR-15 (but were afraid to ask) FEATURING GREG VESS

    Already have green springs and the rifle is gassed properly. ETA: AGB are nonsense IMHO. BRT makes a custom tune gas port gas block and can reduce your rifles port size without the introduction of more moving parts. I just installed one on a crap CMMG barrel for a friend and it significantly...
  2. Everything you ever wanted to know about the AR-15 (but were afraid to ask) FEATURING GREG VESS

    Spring is a std rifle length spring. A5 receiver extension and buffer are the only specific items.
  3. Everything you ever wanted to know about the AR-15 (but were afraid to ask) FEATURING GREG VESS

    Cannot tell if serious, but the buffer length controls how far the carrier can travel in the receiver. Using a std carbine length buffer in an A5 tube will allow the carrier to over travel and make contact with the lower receiver. Side by side in my LMT lower. Left is the A5 buffer, right is a...

    FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT... A Daniel Defense is the say the Porsche of the AR15 realm. It's expensive but well worth the price of admission. The 499 jobs are the Ford Fiesta's of the AR scale. The will get you to where you need to go but you never know if it is going to start again. Go with a Colt...

    It’s hopeless. I mean, normal people gain knowledge about their hobbies and interest as time goes on. This is just the opposite.

    Sometimes a bad reputation, is still a reputation. Just like the cluster **** known as Rock River.

    The BFH Mike demonstrated staking with at SOLGW was a joke. That’s not what they actually use, he admitted it was for dramatic effect. This is the style staking tool they use as well, which is hand ground by one of their armorers....

    Half assed staked. Looks like the “armorer” started the punch in the wrong place and said **** it, it’s good. Still better than 99% of Anderson’s.

    The TM calls for Aeroshell 33ms/64 for RE installs to prevent thread galling. Loctite doesn’t adhere to grease... I’m not going to be nice when I say this. Using Loctite on a castle nut is the cheap ass poor way of doing it. If you don’t want to stake, buy an SR15 end plate and lock ring and...

    Is this a serious question? Because it sure seems like sarcasm...

    This^^^^ It’s such a simple task and with the right tools, takes little time that if they cannot even do that, what else have they not given a **** about?

    This is proper staking. Also, in 2 location per the TM. Note how the swaged metal is deep into the castle nut staking notch to provide sufficient retention from rotation.

    Pretty much. Save a few more months to buy something quality vs spending your first $400 on some pile of chinesium and recycled car parts. In the grand scheme of things, sure, many here will never exploit the robustness of a BCM or better rifle, but is $350-ish premium over a Radical, Anderson...

    This was another M&P Sport Straight from S&W. Castle nut was barely snug and the entire receiver extension rocked back and forth in the lower. The “staking” was more or less a scuff from something like a flat head screw driver. You can see the rotation as the staking scuff can be used as a...
