I don't have a real one, cuz they don't really have a lot of semi ones that are available to get, or are automatic and cost a zillion dollars
however I do have a pretty good full steel airsoft replica, which is as close as I can get. My actual hunting / home defense rifle is some ar-15 clone, cant really remember the exact name off the top of my head

>>62507064
yes I am. I know you can get a long ar-15, but it doesn't feel the same as an M16. I want the feel, the non detachable carry handle sight, the ribbed handguard, fixed stock etc. I wouldn't use a full length M16 for home defense either, probably just go to the range with it.
>>62507066
I got the ar-15 clone because its the legally shortest rifle they had that wasn't an SBR

Like I said kiddo we have free reign on our gear choices. I use the m16 because it's bullet is light and still can snipe and I can carry more ammo in case I get separated I'll have extra ammo. The scar is cool as a toy but some of us guys grow up and go back to the m16. The gun is in the dirt from a fire fight, kid. You ever been in a shootout?

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

I ordered a 601 lower from H&R April 5th. Finish was utterly perfect, I loved that lower. However, on July 15th I sent it back because it had two major flaws, one of which would have probably caused it to fail eventually. The receiver extension tang was bulged and the magazine button hole was like .022" oversized, the button wiggled around and the catch canted inwards.

At no point between April and today have the corresponding 601 uppers been in stock. As part of the RMA process H&R agreed to fit and finish match an upper and lower and then ship both to my FFL. On August 23rd I got an email that they picked out the replacement lower and matched it to an upper from their batch they sent out for complete 604 uppers (these are still not in stock). They said they would get with the sales guys to write up and invoice, since I have to pay for the upper. I don't even know how much it costs because it's never been in stock. September 14th and they still never sent an invoice.

I have almost every part to finish this rifle, I've been sitting on them since july. I planned to build this rifle slowly but it just occurred to me I've waited five fucking months. I have to look at photos like picrel to even remember why I'm doing this build in the first place. Don't buy H&R shit unless they are the only company making it. I will never buy from them again. Insane shit
>>
>>62507538
Do you have original green furniture? Or are you going to paint a set? Make sure your aluminum parts are gray or the rifle will look like shit.

Why not just say a rifle stock or carbine stock? The lower is the same.

the lower is the same but the buffer tube, buffer spring, and buffer are not. I'm convinced you're too young to be on this site

no the fuck it isnt retard,go back.

I'm going to keep referring to the difference as the "stock" because the only difference between a rifle "lower" and the carbine "lower" are the easily removed/replaced stock and buffer components, not the serialized lower. Don't forget, I'm here forever!

Coat hangers are for all bark no bite homos. Get a mil spec lower and then get a m16 lower parts kit. Do the needful when appropriate.

The M16 sucks so much...
It's over complicated mechanism is both difficult to clean and prone to jamming.
Adjusting the sight, something that must be done every time a target shifts it's range, requires the use of a nail, ballpoint pen, or a similar device.
What if you don't have one?
The delicate plastic stock of the M16A1 obviates bayonet use, and by attempting to use it as such you would risk shattering the hollow, spring-loaded stock.
This is a critical flaw.
If you were confronted by multiple enemies and your M16A1 jammed, you would be unable to use it as a last-ditch hand-to-hand weapon.
In the 1960s, the M16 (originally named the AR-15) was designed for Air Force base security, but for political reasons typical of the military-industrial complex (you buy my weapon, you get my vote and my campaign contribution), it was adopted as the principal infantry weapon for the US Army.
So poor was it's early battle record that during the Vietnam War, communist guerrillas refused to take them from dead Americans.
The newer M16A2, although somewhat of an improvement, is still a second-class weapon.

If given the choice, emulate the Vietcong and ignore the M16 entirely.

yeah I already have zinc green chromate vallejo paint, gonna sand fill and prime a JSE surplus handguard, Luth Grip and Brownells type D stock and finish off with the airbrush and then clearcoat.

WTF did people bitch that these were unwieldy long and cumbersome? The only real problem with the ergonomics was how the stock was made too long on the A2, since it was evidently made for Big Guys at USMC shooting ranges. And when body armor became widely issued that became more of a problem. But that stock length issue was easily correctable.

Should I just wait for PSA to get more, or am I just stuck trolling gunbroker for NDS or Colt uppers?

There's no point in getting a 20" barrel if you're not making an m16 or similar rifle. Stick to carbines sweetpea.

>>62507030
I put together a 90% surplus A2, Capco upper, FN M16 BCG/CH, milsurp stock and receiver extension with buffer and a new FN M16 spring.

An H&R upper, KAC lower Parts kit and a LMT "milspec" AR15 trigger. I have an A2 trigger minus the sear, but I can't get a solid legal answer.

No bullshit answers and please dont bully I just want to be cool and shoot a nice clone, will the PSA upper and lower be ok for general usage?

You can get it for 600 plus minus shipping and ffl fee.

Alternatively the H&R is 1300, what really is the difference? Remember no bully

>>62524864
I'll add I actually like some of the PSA lower details, it has fire/safe etched on both sides so it's slightly more helpful to a lefty.
>>

PSA is cheap but gtg. As far as I know they don't make A1 or A2 uppers on their regular line of ARs, only for the h&r line. Aside from appearance, I don't think there's any quality difference between h&r and normal PSA parts.
Theoretically, you could get one of their h&r uppers and slap on a regular barrel. It'd be a lot cheaper than getting a 100% h&r assembled upper. Of course that's assuming you want a black gun and not the retro gray finish.
Just curious, which model are you trying to clone?

Here's a protip the old-timers used to use: "Naval Jelly" will turn a black part gray. This only works on steel parts, so the trigger guard and mag release button will need to be painted, but it works pretty good on everything else. Usually just lower parts kits, but i've seen people use it on fully assembled barrels and it doesn't look bad. I don't know if it works on nitride.
>>
>>62527002
For example, these three BCGs were all originally black. The two on the bottom were soaked in naval jelly and scrubbed clean.
>>
>>62524884
with like 20 minutes of training these are meaningless benefits. a PSA will shoot though, if that is your only criteria

hate to say it but this stupid thread inspired me to show my AR more love

>>62525164
Color and finish-wise I'm not picky at all. I'll probably rattlecan it. I used and carried the A2 when I was in so I'd go for something like that. But I'm not picky about the upper either, in fact I have a couple red dots and a facog that I'd probably just swap around and play with.

Function is really all I crave I guess.

Opinions on the H&R-branded 20-round mags from PSA?
Are there any other new production 20-round mags that are better?
>>
>>62538424
$20 for a 20-rounder is a little overpriced imo, but I get that it's paying for the name on the baseplate. ASC & Duramag both make 20's, and they can be found for like $10-15. I've used both, no complaints. Promag also makes them, but it's honestly a crapshoot whether they'll fit right in your magwell.

Did you order the complete upper? If so you're screwed unless you want to take the upper apart. You'll then need to either spray it with cerakote or moly resin. That's what you get for being an ar15 wrenchlet.
>>
>>62543888
I just got one "free" with my BRN-601 upper so once my lower gets out of governor jail I'll let you know.
From pointing it at stuff in my house the glass looks surprisingly decent and the crosshairs aren't huge though they are larger than I hoped. It feels heavy for its size which makes it seem robust and not cheap. The windage and elevation adjustments don't click but they are visually indexed so it's not like you're just guessing. The range adjustment turret does click, but just barely. The eyebox is not big which might make it tough to use when all I have is a chinweld.
>>
>>62545330
The free optic (which I would have bought anyway) made it a better deal than building from scratch even considering the need to buy another upper receiver later if I want them to match. Plus it was in stock, gray 601 uppers from H&R are not.
I'll shoot it as is until they're back in stock and then I'll take this one apart and put it back together on a H&R, which will also give me an opportunity to phosporic acid the steel parts which boomer machinists and anon up above say will turn them gray.

are you talking about barrel clamps?
they're too wobbly, especially with foregrips, and don't completely cover up the underside of the handguard, and anyway mounting anything directly to the barrel like that is bad for accuracy. I wanted something that felt more stable all around.

SEALs used 20 inch DMRs in early GWOT so they haven’t used it since then. Do you know what has increased in the SEALs since then though? The number of SEALs who have transitioned to women.

if you get a bunch of the Vseven stuff you can drop the weight even further without sacrificing durability as much. A polymer lower just appeals to low impulse control poorfags who want to feel like they are doing something cool by using a polymer lower. miss it
>>62548818
20" is super comfy to use and handle if you don't bog it down with a full quad rail like alot of A4 builds, but the best part is being able to rapid fire as fast as you can at 100 yards and never miss your shot because the recoil is so low
>>
>>62560213
>vseven
it’s not even worth that desu. i’d rather have totally missed parts and components that can be replaced no problem. like the wwsd doesn’t even use a standard front take down pin which is obviously essential for function. a milspec lower with a car15 stock is goodnuff

Hi anons. Here's my A2-alike I pieced together a while back. It's a PSA lower I bought for $80 in an LA Fitness parking lot with a Windham 1:9 barrel, non F-marked FSB. The upper is RRA and I think the elevation drum may be a National Match version. It seems to have extra ball bearing detents but haven't counted. Bayonet is just a green Ontario M9. Not clone correct but I love it

Also I wanted to add to that previous reply.
>I have some vintage scopes that run out of adjustment on some 22s oddly, usually vertical. Might need some repair.
This is why I don't buy vintage 3/4" Weavers on eBay and HIGHLY recommend no one else do it either. They're overpriced as fuck (~$85-150+) and you might just get a fucking lemon someone dropped or smacked on a tree before you were born, totally screwing it up inside which is why it was in the junk drawer at their estate sale. The insane prices are from retarded sellers finding the Vintagegunscopes site seeing their scopes sell for $250-500 and going WOW SURELY MY SCOPE MUST BE LITERAL GOLD!!!11!!1!1!!! when they in reality have a rusty ratty piece of shit in need of a multiple hundred dollar restoration to also fix the hazy lenses from poor storage conditions which means a full re-glue of the lenses as well as a fresh nitrogen purge (good fucking luck). Skip the retards on eBay, find one in person for $15, or buy a fully restored one if you have the cash and autistic desire. As for the Weaver red dot: If your red dot is fucked, anon >>62585324, then see if you can contact these guys and ask what they might charge for a repair if you really like the dot despite the huge dot it projects. I've considered putting one of mine on a shotgun since that was their original intended use but I'm a little hesitant due to its age; people want way too much for them and I really don't want to break mine.

That’s not bad. Did you get the full windham upper or the barrel kit?
>>
>>62589777
Just the barrel kit was available at the time. The A2 upper came from Rock River. When the YT shills started shitting on the A2, I knew I had to have one. So, I ended up buying a vice block from Midwest, Magpul multi tool, and torque wrench and assembled it myself. I forgot to mention that the lower parts kit came from Windham as well. She's as basic of a bitch as she can be. I liked it so much I ended up ordering another A2 upper and a 16" Del-ton heavy barrel w/ mid-length gas (non F-marked front sight) to make into my carbine. I put that on an old Windham Bushy lower. That's my A2-ish carbine. I kind of wish it had a lighter profile barrel but that was all that was available at the time.
