AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[jblomenberg16]

Diamondhead USA BUIS (Rainier Arms marked) with the Blitzkrieg Chevron front post.

Very interesting. Have you shot with them before? I had a Troy rear BUIS that had the diamond apperature vs. the standard circle, and just couldn't get it to work for me. Not sure if I gave it a chance or not, but sold it and went back to a standard rear BUIS.

I'm curious if the combination of front and rear will make for a better sight picture.

Haven't shot with them but they should work well as a pair. Here is a view through a Vortex red dot..........

I seen those sights didn't do too well in a drop test. Are these the improved version? I really like the looks of them and would probably never have them in an extreme situation that would cause concern, but it just bugs me that a pair of sights or anything that cost that much could fail so easily under a circumstance that they possibly could encounter. If they fixed the problem Ill probably pick up a set at USDS.

Did the Troy version fail too?

Waiting to acquire some KAC rail covers, then awaiting a krylon snake skin camo paint job then it'll be done!

wondering if you could get a down the sights pic without redot or scope purty pleae, but thanks for posting, i will be jumping on the bandwagon soon for this sight post.

It's a work in progress, this thread is great a inspiration. Will be my first AR when it's completed.

Next post from me in this thread will be a completed AR.

I may replace the stock. Not sure I'll like that one... Looks/feels a bit cheap but it'll work for now.

INGO represent!

How Do I Get One?

 

[cubbetm]

I'm also curious. I want 2.


pic thread



Awaiting a pistol buffer tube (until tax stamp) bad-ass safety, SD-C, and troy iron sights, and another aimpoint pro. The upper is a bcm 11.5, Todd Jarrett YHM 12.5" handguard, and KX3. I should have used a 10.5" so I could get the same look as the "ghost guns" 7.5" with midlength handguard. Oh well.

They sold some to some Site Supporters, though I believe they'll also have them at the 1500 at the INGO booth. (https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...go-swag-available-march-2014-indy-1500-a.html)

If you go up there pick me up a large t-shirt and I'll pay you for the shirt and shipping, since I have no idea if I'll go or not.

Just some friendly info that may keep you out of jail, once a lower has had a rifle stock (or rifle reciever extention) on it, it can never be a pistol again (for a upper less than 16"). You can go from pistol to rifle but not the other way. If your doing an sbr or pistol build you need to start with a pistol or virgin lower.

If registered as areceiver you can swap between the two at any time. Took me a little bit to remember the ruling. It's 2011-4

"Likewise, because it is the same weapon when reconfigured as a pistol, no “weapon made from a rifle” subject to the NFA has been made."

This would be the correct answer here. A pistol can be turned into a rifle and then back into a pistol, but if it was a rifle to begin with, it can never be a pistol.
