And that would be why the rest of us build these things ourselves. Also.....there's no one else to blame when one of them doesn't run properly. The pain (read aggravation) of dealing with someone that doesn't put these things together right, can be unbelievable. Plus....it could be (will be) harder to diagnose/repair without actually having your hands in it.
You only pay for tools once.....but they will help you out multiple times. Just my opinion.
It's perfectly legal to have a 300 BLK upper on a 5.56 lower. After all...that's the point isn't it? It's based off of using the 5.56 casing....just with a 30 cal projectile. That's how you start with the platform. And actually, I don't think that there are any dedicated 300 BLK lowers out there (could be wrong though).
Mine is a DD lower (registered as a SBR lower) with a 300 BLK upper that I built. If you're not going below the 16" barrel length mark....it doesn't make a difference what anything is marked.
^^^^ I agree. Armalite knows that they have a following with the AR-10 B model. They're not going anywhere anytime soon. Besides....with proper maintenance, they'll last a lifetime. That....and between the piles of parts I have on hand.....mine will outlast me. And either one of my kids will still be able to rebuild them if needed.
Yeah, but at least you would be wearing it out of respect. Not trying to pretend to be something that you're not (or weren't). Big difference there. You're a proud papa Larry.
As for the rest of these low-life's. I'll never understand these phonies of the world. They're self-indulgent, self-centered and weak minded. They lack self respect.....moreover, not respecting the honor of the uniform (regardless of branch).....or the code. I've never served....but I've known many Marine. And It's made me proud when any of them have called me their brother. Not out of service....but of mindset. And I would never dishonor any of them by pretending to be something without having earned it. Period!
And I'll proudly give (a civilian) OOH-RAH out to all of my brothers everywhere (especially to you jokers around here). Service members or LE....or others that are like-minded.
You sound like you definitely know what you're doing safado. I would definitely just buy any parts that you think you might want to upgrade, and put them in yourself.
Welcome to the forum by the way.
Whew! Don't scare a brother like that. I cruise their website pretty regularly (I know......this really shocks you guys). They show the full line of "B" models (and parts) on the site itself. I've never even bothered looking through an online catalog.
My Son and I were playing around today. And I saw this, and just had to take a picture of it.
Left to right:
Sig 220, .45HK USP, .44 Desert Eagle, .45 HK Mark 23
not counting the suppressed MK18 above them...............................
I hear ya my man. I wasn't being argumentative. Just making a point. This stupid-assed state of mine, has been home for a long time also. I know the feeling.
Got my 7.5" Noveske barrel (5.56) and the KX3 brake. Still searching for the proper handguard. I think that I've got it down to a Ranier, a Seekins or a YHM. Still not etched in stone though.
