jasonc273 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Good evening everybody, My name is Jason and I'm from Florida, and no I'm not crazy, just a normal guy here. I am here to learn more about Ar 10 platform. I decided to hunt with an Ar 10, suppressed so I bought a complete lower Aero precision lower M5 Carbine, to save money, and also bought a atlas handguard and aero precision upper receiver. I got a good deal. 16 inch barrel, midlength, adjustable gas block, and a 8 inch can (which is why I'm going with 16 inch barrel). She still kicks me pretty good so I would like to learn more on the buffer system to tame it a little. I have A5 systems before but don't want to spent that much on this rifle. So yes, I'm here to learn from you guys. Thank you for the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, think about that last statement. You built a specific rifle to suppress and hunt. No recoil system is too expensive for that, if it works... A5 recoil system (as in VLTOR A5) complete, will not work at all in a .308 AR. The A5 buffer is too long for carbine, too short for rifle, recoil systems. The A5 buffer is for AR15-based guns, with the right parts. Edited November 3, 2019 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observe the following... On 7/16/2019 at 2:15 AM, 98Z5V said: We start innocently. VERY innocently. First, we look up the cost of the most expensive 6.5 Creedmoor precision ammo that we can find. You know, the 6.5C you're building is for the ultimate precision, right? I bet we can find some stuff that's about $4 a round, if we hunt hard enough. After that, we start looking at "trainer rifles" and comparing some of the cost of those trainer rifles that are abnormally high in cost... but, STILL cheaper than that $4 a round that we're looking for on that Creedmoor. After that, we start comparing costsof "Trainer Rifle Training Ammunition..." Key words there, man. Fact: for comparing similar wind drift -Shooting .308 Win at 600 yards will have very similar wind drift as Shooting .22LR at 200 yards. So, we work the .22LR into the game here... THEN, we bust out .22WMR. We've already broken out the 200-600 comparo with .22LR, BUT... we break out the minimal cost difference between .22LR and .22WMR, and explain the vast difference in distance-trajectory in the benefit of the .22WMR round. (we will need data charts to show the differences at distance between the two ".22s"...). THAT IS THE POINT RIGHT THERE...that you bust out the cost of the Ruger American .22WMR bolt gun. At that point, my good man, once you've confused her with so many dollar signs all over the place, she goes for the MSRP of that Ruger American .22WMR, and she'll THANK YOU for being practical, and saving money. Hold my beer and watch THIS shiit happen... On 7/16/2019 at 2:21 AM, 98Z5V said: ^^^ I used something very similar to that- with different facts on different projectile capabilites - to get @Matt.Cross into a BADASS Mk12 Mod 1 6.5 Grendel gun. It took me a year, but... I kid you not... It's all about "persistence", Red. You can beat this, easily -we just need to approach it with the right information, and right angles... He confessed it himself, it's right there in plain print. In less than 8 weeks that weirdo cost me about $2800 for a Mk12 Mod 1 in 6.5 Grendel.

Armed Eye Doc Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 But it is one hell of a shooting gun. It got me to build this one. I am not in the $2800 range, but a little north of $2K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoid the temptation to feel that way, when he described that build as BADASS, he was understating things in his typical fashion. That gun is mind-boggling in it's capability. 21 minutes ago, Armed Eye Doc said: But it is one hell of a shooting gun. It got me to build this one. I am not in the $2800 range, but a little north of $2K. As the Doc said, a very impressive and persuasive build. I have no regrets, I just have about $2700 worth of more grief to give Tom before we're even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
