I’m running a magpul CTR stock on my fixed carry handle M4, how should I go about connecting the sling to all of these different options on the stock?

Basically the title. I’m a newbie just got my first AR (M&P sport III) I’m going to clean and lube everything but I’ve seen people say just lube the BCG without disassembling it and I’ve seen them say take it apart and clean everything. What’s y’all opinions? Kinda scared to disassemble it and reassemble it but I know I’ll have to do it someday. May aswell learn today!

I have 1 lower and 2 uppers and i currently have a fixed a2 stock on my lower. I’m wanting to switch it out for a carbine buffer and was wondering what buffer weight i’d need. One upper has a carbine length gas tube and the other is 20” rifle length gas upper. I was thinking of an H2 assy. Would be shooting unsupressed

So riddle me this. How does having a longer buffer tube with a longer buffer somehow reduce recoil? The actual distance that the system cycles is exactly the same, so what's the point in the longer tube? Is that not equivalent to just installing a stronger spring or heavier weight in a regular carbine tube?

So I'm doing a build 7.5-8" upper 300 blk out with a pistol gas system what buffertube do I need? Im seeing medium and rifle size what does this mean and which one would be best?

Hey guys, I am constantly debating between uppers for the while and have finalized it on 3 uppers. I wanted to know what upper is better; LMT L7D1 FLAT-TOP UPPER, BCM COSMETIC BLEM BFH ELW UPPER 16 INCH, OR DDM4V7 16INCH UPPER. I am planning on using the upper as my daily driver, training, range, lots of rounds, and overall SHTF and GPR if I must face such circumstances. I want one AR for like 10+ years and don't or won't plan on buying a second rifle so I want a durable and reliable upper as well. Which one would you guys choose? Also if you guys choose LMT, could you guys tell me what quad rail picatinny handguard yall would throw on it.

Anyone think it would be possible or if a company might make in the near future a 4 position trigger group, with Safe/Semi/Binary/FRT? I'm not sure it it would even be possible to make that but it would be insane, essentially is safe/semi/2rndburst/auto but not classified as a Machine gun. You could probably get something similar by Combining a 3 position Binary fire control group, and a SSAR-14 SBS bump stock that can be locked to work as a normal stock, but that seems like too much of a hassle, either that or you could spend $1,200 on a FRT-15L3 3 Position FRT

When I try to run the charging handle with a round in the chamber, it seems to get a little stuck. I can still force it to eject the round, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I just cleaned it and lubricated it

I’ve always wanted one of these. My dad served in the military during operation desert storm and had lots of experience getting to handle the original A2 model. I thought it would be fun to add to my collection and go out and shoot! Plus this is the first 20 inch barrel rifle I’m getting. The 5.56 should be zooming out of this piece of art

Anyone run enough of these enough to vouch for reliability? With 30 in the don’t seat easily in mine.

I've got one that I've upgraded a a few things on and its a very accurate rifle. However I'm at a point now where instead of just going the easy route and continue to upgrade my Sport II, I'm wanting to build one. However, how would y'all generally rate the Sport II?

Did a search and found mostly old stuff. Can't have a brake or adjustable gas block in my situation, so I'm looking at what options there are to reduce recoil. JP? DPM? H2 buffer? Heavier spring?

Occurs a few times a magazine, seems undergassed maybe or do I need to polish the feed ramps? I added a ton of lube and it ran better for a couple mags but then went back to this. H&R government 14.7”

So I took a break from shooting for the past 40 years. I have a Colt Car-15 with a fixed handle. I was at the range yesterday and the guy next to me was shooting a Daniel Defense AR. I asked him the best way to convert my Colt so that I could have rail-mounted accessories, and he recommended oiling it and storing it as a collector's item. That's fine with me but I'm on the hunt for a decent AR and was checking this out. Would this be a good gun for the price? PSA 16" Mid-Length 5.56 NATO 1/7 Nitride 15" Lightweight Hex M-Lok Classic Rifle

I’ve been thinking a lot but can’t decide myself so looking for a bit of help. I’m not from the US, so the availability is very limited and also I can’t build an AR myself because of the laws in my country.

Currently I can pick both of these for the same price. The Sig is 16 a inch barrel and the Zion is 14.5.

I tend to lean towards shorter barrels, but I also really like the moss green color on the new Sig. This will be my first AR15 and I don’t plan on getting rid of it soon.

Is the M400 Tread V2 a better choice now after the updates (mainly the handguard) or should I go with the Zion for the same price?

Also, which of the two is a better base for future upgrades as I definitely plan on changing some things down the road?

Thanks a lot!

I buy my first striped lower to make my first built. Im looking to buy the lower parts , which brands I should look and which one i should avoid. Im not looking to make a super gucci built, my intentions are to learn more , train with it and use it as a home defense. Thanks

Built dad a 14.5 inch with pin & weld muzzle device, trying to keep things simp and easy but....We got it to the range and he was having difficulty holding the rifle up for any extended period of time to aim, and he was saying it may be too heavy for him. The guy is 73 and doesn't go to the gym. It's an aero lower, kak upper, bravo stock and grips, romeo 4s, g-sling, magpul polymer flip ups. Already tried keeping things super light and with minimal attachments. What are some other options while keeping him on the AR platform? Willing to SBR if we have to.

So I had this KP-15 floating around and I figured I’d make use of it with my old 2009 .450 upper this weekend, I think it kind of works with the toob. No optic if I want it under 6lbs. It shot great this weekend. Shes broken at least one scope before, but i have high hopes for the polymer.

I had to move 2 rifles out because it was too full and it still is after my move.

Sugar Weasel SD, Staccato C2, and Q minifix in 5.56 with a Thunder Chicken.

I’m looking at different types of 5.56 ammo and through my research I see all sorts of recommendations out there. I’ve kind of came down to either Hornady 5.56 76 grain black soft point or Speer .223 soft point gold dots. I’ve also seen some people say m193 Winchester is just as good. Anyone have any good insight? I’ve been using Speer gold dots in my pistols for years.

I have entry level knowledge on suppressors/silencers and wanted to know if the KAC 5.56mm QDC/CRS-PRT needs to have a knights muzzle device or if there is another muzzle device that those cans can work with since they have a QD attachment method with small little ball bearing looking things and not a screw on system. I cant find a QD knights muzzle device for sale anywhere so does that mean i cant use the can?

Poking at the idea of a 5.56 sbr in the near future, but not sure where to even start with upper options. I’d like to do a fully custom quad rail build if possible, and I want it to be quality (around 2K budget for the rifle itself without accessories). Would most likely be running it both with and without a can. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
