AR-15 Build

[Paul]

I ordered from 44mag.com, i could change the order though...do you think i should get other mags?

 

[Paul]

Well the barrel i ordered is a bushmaster 14.5 chrome lined with a permanently attached phantom flash hider. So it is legal since it is 16in

I also was thinking of going with 1/7twist rate, but i decided on the 1/9 because i dont foresee me shooting over 75gr rounds. If i decide i wnt to shoot longer distance, i will build another AR specifically for that.

Paul,

Pmags are good mags, but I didnt like them due to the fact that I had a hard time getting them to go into mag pouches.

I have a vest that holds 18 mags. There is no way I would use Pmags on the vest. The lip on the base causes issues when inserting and removing the mags. Its up to you if you want the mags. They are excellent range mags, but this is just my opinion.

I tried to find 3 to show you what I mean, but I can only find one.


ETA: If you change your order let me know and I will send you a Pmag for free to try.

Heres a pic of the lip. Mag on the left in the bottom pic is USGI.

I actually called 44mag and had them switch the order to 5 usgi and 3 pmags

I think you made a good call. At least till you try em for yourself.

[Hop]

That looks great Paul. Very close to what I was thinking about building. I want a gas block with a front flip down sight so I can use my Holosight.

 

[Fenway]

Pics look great for a phone. And nice rifle

I like the front flip up sights, i just didnt want to spend the money on it, lol...i think im going to get the rear flip up though

I just cant wait to get out and shoot it:do2:

 

[Don]

Hey man no problem, glad to have helped out again.

That couch matches the background in a lot of Hop's pictures.
