Hi guys ... I want to keep my AR-15 A-Cat 'legal' and looking at the different 'approved' stock designs. Anyone had any experiences with Bell & Carlson AR-15 Thumbhole Stocks? Or have any recommendations for similar style 'approved' stocks? I'd appreciate your feedback. Cheers Gunzrrr

I'm going to be buying an AR in the next couple of weeks as have just sold a rental property, really want a 6.8spc. Am i best to buy an NEA 14.5" in 5.56 and a seperate 6.8spc upper, like the one from Delta Force? Or try get an Ar already in 6.8spc and possibly pick up a 5.56 upper for cheaper?
Are there any other manufacturers AR's in the country that are a case of spend a little more in purchase but get a lot more gun than the NEA. Wanting something light to take hunting
Don't know if you can get a lite ar say if comparing to contemporary hunting rifle styles like a tikka t3, I have a windham exterminator in 20inch barrel wit suppressor but got a good sling don't notice th weight after five mins also have a 16 inch norinco easy carry no sling great off hand shooting rifle and accurate (well mine is) suppressed as well u get use to the weight
Yeah i'm not looking for light like a bolt action but light for an AR. I normally carry a Jungle Carbine 303 or Bergara 357mag so pretty similar weight to an AR. If there's anything better to buy under the $3 grand mark let me know and where to buy it
One of my 14.5" ARs weighs under 3kg with scope and backup sights. It was built using normal parts, if i wanted to spend more money on it I could get it lighter.
that's pretty light, is that loaded? suppressor?
my 12.5" with pretty light components is 2.6kg bare, almost any scope + mount at all would put it over 3k, and that's without suppressor
No mag and no suppressor, and a light scope. Mid length gas system though.
I'm just using a magpul moe hand guard so I could save some weight on that if I wanted, a low mass BCG would help and chopping the barrel to min length would all lower the weight. I've always wanted one of those polymer lowers but never found an exporter for them(except for the bushmaster carbon but those are too fragile).
Yeah I was pretty tempted by the Bushmaster carbon or the windham carbon, most of the reviews that say they're fragile are from crazy yanks shooting 600rnds a week, but hate the thought of having to be careful with it in the bush. If I was that desperate for light weight I'd just go for a bolt action.
I'd rather just carry less water
I do like the look of the CMMG mk4 recce that Digit is getting in soon
To swap over a AR15 that has a carbine stock to a Servo A cat stock I need to get a rifle buffer tube and machine up a spacer of the correct dimension? Any thing else?
Couple of ways to do it. You can use a rifle length buffer tube and rifle length buffer. Or use a rifle length buffer tube with a carbine buffer and a spacer to stop your gas key from smashing into the lower.
You dont need a stock spacer with a rifle length tube and ace type stock if thats what you were reffering to.
You're better off using a rifle buffer and spring. A spacer is a shitty fix.
Howdy all :), some noobie owner questions. . . .
Does a foregrip affect 'a' cat and make it 'e' cat ?
Are the foregrips with the integral bipod useable/useful or crap ?
Can you recommend any particular foregrip over others ? (seems there are shedloads to choose from)
Also seems some are all plastic, and some have metal in them as well, good, bad ?
Arguments for/against them ?
Thanks in advance for any posts, and may the best man win the arguments :thumbsup:
No.
For people who like to use a foregrip and have a bipod when needed, they make a useful combination. Grippods are utilized heavily in the military. Like all things, some like them, some don't.
It really depends on how the individual likes to utilize a foregrip. Some people like to hold them vertically, some just like to use them as a hand stop to aid in pulling the rifle into the shoulder and some just use them as a reference point.
You will notice that most of the newer VFG (vertical fore grips) being released are compact variants, this is due to many shooters utilizing VFGs more these days as a hand stop.
The Magpul AFG (angled fore grip) proved popular for a long time, but seems to be fading in popularity.
Plastic or metal, makes little difference. What makes a difference is the weight. Any VFG from a major manufacturer should be strong enough for any civilian use.
It really is user preference. Try as many styles that you can, try different hand positions, try holding it vertically, try using it as a hand stop.
What do I run? After trying and using several types, I run my free float rails slick (other than a Magpul rail cover).
What I always find funny though is when somebody puts a VFG on and then uses a magwell hold, but hey it's your rifle, run it the way that you like.
The modularity of the AR platform is sometimes too tempting for people, and they put anything and everything on every available space.
Vertical grip makes the rifle cunty to sling and can get in the way. They are nice shooting off hand but are a PITA otherwise
Quick release available ?
I have seen guns/ARs with all this shit and attachments on them, take them out hunting in bush an steep country for half a day and see what shit starts being taken off before the next hunt, I keep my AR with minimal shit on it. Slim and light free float handguard, sling mount and scope mount/scope combo. Ditched the muzzle break and just put a thread protector on it. Carry anything I need in a belt kit or in a daypack
Some good input Koshogi! QD seems super popular for some odd reasons one thing I dont get it the need for QD scope mounts for 99% of civilian applications its not necessary but hey do what you want with your rifle if it works for you and you like it.On a side note I like my AFG2 over VFGs as it feels more natural for me.

Saw a joker flogging a product by the name of "UNIGRIP" on the News this AM, at Feildays
He had taken a VFG, dubious even as a "insert favourite tacticool logo here" branded accessory, savaged on a couple of zip ties and was happy as Larry, even made the news. I nearly lost it laughing.
Good luck to him, I see it made a list of "innovations" that may win some financial backers to get the ideas of the ground.
Hope @gimp saw it, he loves VFG's

I like QD scope mounts. It gives me the ability to change optics (Aimpoint, Eotech and 1-4 Vortex) depending on what I'm doing or what I want, quickly and without the need to re zero. I can also use them on different firearms by recording the differences in zero.
I understand your point though, a lot of users only have one optic and have no intent of changing it.

I change out my acogs and long range scopes quite often between my rigs depending on what im doing. The QD system works well. Its fast and doesnt need to be zeroed again if taken off and then put back on. It takes 10 seconds and saves fucking around with hex nuts or screw drivers or those awful windage adjustable millet rings which should be put on once and never taken off again.
Foward grips, lasers, and torches might look cool if you are that way inclined but be realistic. Who really needs all that crap hanging off their rig? Every now and then a newby will turn up to a club shoot with all this shit hanging of their gun and by the next match its been binned. Think practical not tacticool and it wont cost your wallet as much.

Heeeeelp, I'm trapped in here now
Excellent photograph.
Thanks Rushy. Here's another one.

What sort of neck tension are you guys running in your AR reloads ? I've only got the lee die at the moment, and with the neck expander removed I've only got between .002"-.003" at the most. Will this be enough ? and are people using crimp dies ?
I'm new to reloading for semi auto and don't want to stuff it up first time out, so any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers, Red :)
I crimp for all semi auto rifles as I feel it's safer
I don't bother crimping. My Hornady seating die has been working fine.
Just had to go to a small base body die as the Hornady FL wasn't sizing down enough. Had a few jams.
