Genuine USA-made badass. I start every one the first time with open headers / exhaust. Awesome!!!! Had a 34 Plymouth with a 400 HP 360 and built individual header pipes that came out behind front tires like a fueler. BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
98Z5V Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Both those look like the LaRue lowers, at least - those the one you don't shoot anymore? List them for sale on the For Sale section here, and let them get some good use.
m1911 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 My kid loves these and still shoots them.... They are so nice I will never sell them....LaRue stuff is like jewelry....but drive tacks like a hammer.
Sisco Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 What make magnifier is that on the top one?
m1911 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Aimpoint 3X....got rid of it though....
pyzik Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 My favorite of my little collection. Just a tool by Damage Photos, on Flickr
98Z5V Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 Awesome skills with the camera, man. Excellent. The AR kicks as$ too -

washguy Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Well this is how all of my builds start...they have "to season" graze a lil with all of the needed parts and some extra parts from different calibers .I took a peek last night and the parts have almost melded into a nice stew...just about time to assemble Wash Edited November 14, 2017 by washguy
mrmackc Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) I think your build process will be very successful, (1) because you are experienced and (2) seasoned is always more flavorful. Edited November 14, 2017 by mrmackc
sketch Posted November 23, 2017 Report Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks un ill forward the msg hope to get his ass to the range saterday and break it in . 223wylde barrel. and the 300blk and my own 308 with new buffer and spring! should be a good day of breakins!
Sisco Posted November 26, 2017 Report Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) This is a scrap bin makeover. Had an old style Olympic Arms Plinker Plus 5,56 floating around for years. Cost me $429 new way back when. Picked up a delton upper reciever fir $39 online a year ago and swapped out the carry handle reciever. When Walmart got out of the black rifle accesory business I picked up a MFD six position stock, a picatiny rail handguard and a vertical grip for $60 total. Found a six position carbine buffer and spring used for $10 at a gun show. Got the rear sight and the reflex sight for $20 at a garage sale. Got $558 in it so far. Taking.it.to the range this week to see.how it shoots. Edited November 26, 2017 by Sisco
98Z5V Posted November 26, 2017 Report Posted November 26, 2017 The Oly "Plinker" was a cast aluminum lower receiver. The only difference between the "Plinker" and "Plinker Plus" was the plus-model used their forged lower receiver - you have a good one, and it's a piece of history, as well. I still have the opinion that Oly made great shiit - back in the day, they were the ONLY company that manufactured everything in their own shop. Everything. They bought parts from nobody, and did ALL their own work (and work for other "manufacturers"). Their barrels are incredibly accurate. When I bought an AR from them, I had to wait in the showroom while they finished rifling my barrel... No kidding... they were in the middle of a barrel run of the barrel profile I wanted, and they told me to hang around. Got to watch it being finished. I hope they keep on going, with everything that's going on with them. Lotta haters out there, but I have much respect for them, and what they do.
Sisco Posted November 26, 2017 Report Posted November 26, 2017 It has always been a good shooter, never jams, so I hope the switch to a carbine buffer configuration doesn't screw it up. If it does I may put the old stock /buffer back on.
blue109 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Posted November 26, 2017 Thats cool. I want to go the other way and build a beater with an A1 upper.

The original Plinker Plus has basically an A1 upper. It has A1 sights, would be very tough to distinguish. I will give you a nice price.

Sisco Posted November 28, 2017 Report Posted November 28, 2017 Tried it out at the range today with some M855 green tip. It ran flawlessly except it would not lock back on an empty magazine. I only had one magazine with, so I will have to see what happens with a different one, but I am guessing the BCG is going back far enough to chamber, but not quite far enough to lock open. Any quick fixes? Thinking I might try unscrewing the buffer tube one turn and retightening the stock ring to see if that allows it.
