I know you're in here. Let's just hope you are armed if you ever meet my wife. I'd imagine wives across the country are your biggest threat.

Last week this gets posted. https://instagram.com/p/BD_awCOh3zf/

Then this more recently

And now I'm looking at what it would cost for a 14.5" pinned to 16" .458 socom build with a cas-v keymod and something like a nightforce 1-4x.

What use do I have for the above gun? Absolutely none. But have me report back in a year or so and I'm sure there will be one sitting in my safe waiting for an optic I'll never really shoot

At least I won a spork in the last giveaway

I do like the old school CASV's. Sorry to hurt your budget, I'll look out for your wife looking to kick my ass though.

Now this is hilarious... what do I have for it? Nothing... [:D]

I assume you have at least a couple of builds that fall into that category?


I wonder if these will work well with a 1-4 on a cad-v. http://www.bobroengineering.com/view/product/46/. I mean. It is a Gucci gun anyways. I'd be better off with an upgraded bushmaster

Is there a big difference between the old ones and the new besides the keymod?

Usually if it's an AR, I keep a selection of receivers, LPK's, and barrels on hand. Don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty online before where I'm like damn, I need one of those, and end up spending a lot. That's why I found it funny, we've all been there!

Amen. And not just with guns and gun stuff.

[Tyrannosaur]

Ya I've been there... whooolllleeee lotta stuff I too blame Stickman for buying... because I couldn't possibly be held accountable for my own actions haha

I tried keeping a selection of spare parts around. I built my first AR a little after sandy hook and realized it was lower parts kits that were some of the hardest things to find. The only place I could find any quality parts for my build was specialized armament so I bought all the individual parts I needed (pins and springs and mag release and bolt catch) a pair of geissele ssa triggers and some battle arms safety's. Now they have all turned into other rifles. For some reason I have a hard time keeping parts around. I just got a noveske gen 3 lower for $100 so that will finish off my lower parts kits but the upper will wait (unless a 13.5" NQR comes on the market).

Sorry to hurt your budget,

I shake my wallet in your general direction!!![BD]

Or in my case "empty wallet"

What? Doesn't everyone have a 13.5" NQR laying around? [:D]

996

I feel your pain. Seems like for awhile, every extra grip, spring, detent, and handguard turned into another rifle. Some of my parts bin currently:

997

Other than a QuarterCircle 10 Colt 9mm lower I'm thinking of building up, I haven't really built anything in awhile. Kind of enjoying this AR break. I do hook up my buddies when they come over with their $550 PSA's with Crapco Stocks and Stark Grips. [BD]

Just think of how much less cluttered that would be if you sold that NQR

I have a weird issue with 9mm lowers for some reason. It seems the market/industry is making lowers that are caliber specific. The ejectors are all in the lowers and the magwells are all designed around existing 9mm mags. For me, and I know it will never happen, I want the cmmg 22lr style 9mm AR. I want all the proprietary parts to be contained in the upper, I don't even care if the upper isn't backwards compatible with a 5.56 barrel and bolt carrier as long as exterior fits the milspec critical dimensions. Then I want reliable 9mm mags that fit in 30rd AR form factor. I struggle to see why not to get a sig mpx if I'm going to sway to a dedicated 9mm lower.

Don't let Pyzik catch you talking crap about those Stark grips now. Between you and me, I think he was disappointed to learn his GFY lower has an integrated trigger guard. ;)

Nothing a Dremel tool and a drill can't remedy.

On the other hand, would you run 5.56 through an AR-10 receiver set? Why carry the extra weight and size if it isn't needed or useful? That said, I like the idea of the MPX more than the custom lowers that are available, especially because I suspect the new MPX/Lancer mags will eventually set the standard for 9mm PCC mags. Pistol mags have design restrictions that don't exist in the carbine.

[n4p226r]

I wouldn't want the extra weight of a ar10 but that wouldn't buy me anything. If I thought a pistol caliber carbine was a better Defensive choice that would be a different story. I look at a 9mm AR as a training tool. It would allow me to shoot cheaper ammo through an AR. It would allow me to shoot my AR at local ranges that allow only pistol caliber carbine indoors. Or some that only allow pistol caliber carbines at the steel ranges. In those scenarios having a magazine that closely resembles my AR mags helps more than if I were now reaching for a 33rd glock mag or a colt stick mag. Plus I'd need additional configurations of belts or chest rigs.

The only advantage I can see with the glock mag lowers is if you primarily carried a glock and leave one of these in the truck then you have one set of mags and ammo on you.

But I can't carry so that kinda makes that a non issue for me.

I get the indoor range / training restrictions, but why not just go w/ 22LR? I guess 9mm helps with training on recoil management better.

I actually think a 9mm SBR is a great HD choice. If my wife ever had to confront an intruder inside our house I'd rather she have an MPX (or MP5) SBR, preferably suppressed, over and AR, shotgun, or handgun.

Why? It's not like they are any easier to shoot. The right 5.56 round should have less of an over penetration issue and should have better lethality. I haven't done any testing myself obviously so I could be totally clueless but I see a trend of 5.56 SBRs continually replacing pistol caliber carbines in police cruisers and swat teams all over.

I did just build a 22 AR. But we also have to realize that 9mm is probably easier to find than quality 22

You know you've seen too many Stickman pics when you pass the restroom in the San Francisco airport and the thought crosses your mind, "Is this the way to a photo gallery?"

I agree that I'd probably not want a 9mm carbine/SBR as my primary weapon if I was LEO/SWAT. But for inside my own house I'm very comfortable with the ida. 9mm does just fine with a 6.5" barrel and recoil is silly tame in a 9mm.

Don't push back on my logic too hard, I'm just building up justification to buy an MPX. :)
