      Brownells bait and switched

      I actually stopped in there a couple months ago to take a look around. I asked about a few items I was looking for and even the employees had to use the website. The two that tried to help me, just complained about how bad the search functionality was. "Wait, why are we seeing only 223 barrels...

      Some help to tune my AR rifle

      I'm certainly not looking to cater to the ammo. My mindset for #1 is that if it shoots crappy Tula ammo, it would likely shoot any other rounds I put through it. The Tula was a test as I could only find 300 rounds at the time. Before ammo prices went up and inventory took a nose dive, I was able...

      Some help to tune my AR rifle

      I was using the same BCG in both uppers for the test. I just swapped it between them. I have two of the same BCG's, but I wanted the test to have as little variables as possible.

      Some help to tune my AR rifle

      One of the reasons I bought the "bottom of the barrel ammo", was to see if the uppers could eat through it. One can and one can't. I wasn't saying that the recoil was too much for me to handle. I've shot several other AR's and #2 feels like more recoil than others that I have shot.

      Uh oh. Somehow I feel like this is going to be like the equivalent to going to the principals office :shocking:

      Some help to tune my AR rifle

      I'm actually not sure who actually manufactured upper #1/mid-length barrel as it was listed on the site as "US Manufacturer". I've gone through the limited Tula I could find at the time and will likely stick to brass in this one. I bought a muzzle brake initially but have not tried to use it...

      Some help to tune my AR rifle

      Originally, I kind of thought it might be undergassed with the recoil being very similar to my M&P 15-22. I tightened the set screw in the dimple before tightening down the other set screw on the block, assuming that would've kept thing in-line. I will check this again.

      Some help to tune my AR rifle

      A little background to kick this off... I decided to build two AR's from scratch rather than buying completed uppers/lowers or a completed rifle. These are the first two that I've built (and owned). I did tons of research before I even went down this path and felt I was capable of building a...

      So, I was wondering, how in the world do you build an AR and what are the best parts for me to use? I kid of course. Whoever made the MDS Parody....bravo :lol2:

      Orawhaty here, coming to you LIVE from Rockville. I've been poking around here for a few months and finally decided to join. I'm a bit shy still, being a newb to the community and only purchasing my first firearm a few weeks ago. I've been shooting most of my life, just haven't purchased any...
