i have an eberlestock pack with a rifle scabbard in it.
How do you find it?
Stupid things not to do with an AR15.
:cave:
1) So I wanted to do a functional test on the sh**ty brownells mags to see if they would feed as I chopped off 1/2 a coil of the spring at a time. Decided not to trust just the safety but to remove the firing pin so it was impossible to go off. Bad, bad idea, cam pin turned and jammed BCG at the 1/2 way mark, couldnt part receivers to get it out either.
:TT TT:
2) Had to strip out stock and buffer tube and the f***ing wee pin head that holds the buffer in went Piiiiiing, f***ing lost it. So thank good I had a CMMG lower build kit so I could put it all back together, except I almost lost than one as well, but got lucky it hit me first.
:dark mood:
The AIL stocks are a bit of a bugger to put on btw.
:roll:
So that's Xmas done Ive had enough, I'll go play WoT for the rest of the day, way safer.........LOL.
:sarge:
Did you try to pop the pivot and take down pin together? It just slides off.
ah duh....that would have done it, so used to flipping it I didnt think of that.
:cave:
Merry Xmas btw.
All good. I was there once. Have a good one.
so finally shot my ar properly after 2 years of ownership... bought back a leupold 3x9x40 mark 1 mil-dot scope from the states which is fantastic for the money nice and light too, and oh boy i'm not the greatest shot but i was impressed with the accuracy of the thing! at 100m most semi's i've shot are much to be desired on an accuracy level....got one 20c size group other weren't so great... my set up is CMMG with a Daniel defense .625 LW 1/7 barrel, shooting 55gr hornady training ammo was very impressed, had a few average shots but i think the trigger has alot to do with it, anyone else replaced the trigger on there ar and noticed a big diff ? but loving the gas in the eyes too....(lucky saw you guys saying it was an issue before hand and wore eye protection) adjustable gas block on the cards also..anyone stock em in nz ? but absolutely loving the ar platform!
Replacing your trigger will probably help a lot.
There are some very cheep/free mods you can do to your charging handle to reduce the amount of gas hitting you, but these work best when combined with an adjustable has block
I copied a design from off another rifle forum and made my own.
Make your own TAC SLING for 10 bucks! Pics and detailed instructions inside 56k warning - AR15.COM
Worked out well. Got all the buckles and webbing from Twin Needle here in CHCH and put it all together. I didn't use Alice clips like they did though, I used std Uncle Mike sling swivels.
I bought a Magpul MS4 sling as well, but I prefer my DIY sling.
I'm in the same boat as you. Think I'm going to start with a ALG trigger but have heard you need jp springs as well to make that good, may have to bite the bullet and go for a Timney or something. I'm used to 2 pound on my rifles but want something heavier than that for my AR, mine just feels like it's about 15
As far as adjustable gas blocks just get a seekins from brownells, about $100 delivered and 2-3 weeks

yeah mate i'm looking at this one, think i'll just bite the bullet and do it.... Gunsmithing &Reloading Tools - Timney Trigger - AR-15 Competition, AR-15
There are plenty of other options at that price point, check out nzar15, not that there is anything wrong with the timney-it's just that others have progressed.
Yeah I'll be looking for something basic that's better than standard milspecs. I'll be buying through NZAR15 too because he sold me my ar and I'm more than impressed with it especially for the price it was

I find the trigger on my model4 stag not too bad. I need a scope, I can only shoot open sights / red dot to about 50yds, 75 max.
The trigger on my spikes is the only thing I don't like about it. But it's still more than adequate it's just a personal preference. My last ar had a lighter trigger so that's what I'm used too.

brownells only have bloody .750 adjustable gas blocks no .625 so up up shit creek as far as i can see.... did i see a user on here drill and tap a screw to make his adjustable or was that somewhere else ?
Yes totally do able
Does anyone have any clever options for slings on the a-cat style stocks? My AIS stock has a sling swivel point but I want it to be a QD point

Is the SIG 516 Carbon the best AR-15 made? (VIDEO)
What about something like this...

They only work on the e-cat buffer tube style stocks don't they?

They have them to suit all kinds of stocks.
Must have got lost in the Christmas rush. They'll send another one. Let them know.
Its now back in Auckland.
@Konev and friends/colleagues,
How long normally take to you guys get a response to your orders at Brownells?
I put a "simple" order there for a sling and attachment point but i still haven't had any contact from them regards my order, shipment or payment charge.
Please, any advise?
Cheers.

Brownells has just moved their wharehouse and orders are delayed. Lots of cry baby threads on AR15.com - they're even slow in the states atm.
Thank You for the info @Beavis
takes about 5 days for order to be processed at the moment.
So, my order from 18/12 should already be start process? All good, i hope i still have money in my bank account by the time they finish process it.
Thank you all for the feedback.
Mac
Just remember that this is one of the busiest times of the year and in the 9 days since you ordered two of those days were public holidays and two were the weekend.
Brownells is by far one the best online retailers on the Internet. Rest assured they are doing their very best for all of their many customers.
Does anyone know of an NZ stockist of 10 round Pmags? 20 and 30 round options seem relatively easy to find, but the 10 round ones...not so much.
P Mag copy I think
AR-15 Spear Mag 10 RND MAGAZINE BLK
Yeah, I've seen those and might give one a try. I've heard they have a tendency to stick in some lowers, but worth a look given that they're not too expensive. Still keen to try a Pmag though, if I can ever find one locally. I'm told that NZar15.com may be getting some in in the new year.
