Yeah, but I'd definitely go with the III over the II. Mid-length gas system instead of carbine-length, and the handguard is free-floated. So softer shooting and better inherent accuracy. Look for the best price on gun.deals

Also, I think it'd be cool if the gun people on here like you and me could figure out some budget build that we could sticky in the comm. I was thinking a complete upper (upper, barrel, gas system, and handguard), a bolt carrier group, an acceptable cheap lower, a decent lower parts kit with a trigger that isn't terrible. And then maybe like some upgrades, like I like to put BCM BCG (because I really don't want the bolt to break) and LaRue MBT-2S trigger in everything.

I mean that would get someone a better rifle for the money then buying a M&P Sport III, or allow them to build a just-as-capable rifle for cheaper, right?

No worries, thanks for the advice. And I intend this thread to be for the sake of potential new gun owners looking for a first AR-15, so any thoughts and advice are welcome.

 

The general word on PSA is they can make decent guns but they have poor quality control. Basically you do the QC for them and send them back the lemons for them to fix. What do you all think? The complete uppers look like a good deal.

The type 56 is shorter yet has a longer barrel, 16.3" vs the car-15 10.5", and also 7.62x39 burns all its powder in about 12 inches of barrel whereas 5.56 needs at least 20.

It's something I'm interested but don't really know anything about. A friendly old guy at the range gave me some loads that I have written down somewhere. Will you use a book for load recipes?

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

My dream revolver is a Manhurin

I've had quality control issues with Smith and Wesson before, btw. I had to send a used revolver to their factory to get fixed, but to be fair, they did fix it for free and send it back in less than 60 days. The other issue was just a magazine follower installed backwards, not that big a deal. I've also seen somebody with an older model S&W M&P Sport rifle have issues but he got them worked out, idk what the issue ended up being.

Tools wise, flat punches are nice.

I just use Break Free CLP to clean. Mostly just wipe down the bolt carrier group and inside the upper receiver.

Per the School of the American Rifle, you can make a lifetime supply of lube with a mix of synthetic grease and synthetic motor oil such that it's about as viscous as honey, but any gun oil is fine, you'll just have to reapply more often than the sticky mix.

I don't clean the barrel that much because I'm lazy but a segmented cleaning rod is fine. Precision shooters often say, if anything, you should concentrate on cleaning the part of the chamber where the bullet leaves the case mouth. There's a carbon ring that forms there that can eventually restrict the bore diameter, squeezing the bullet and thus harming accuracy. With just a segment of a cleaning rod handle and a ~~bore brush~~ chamber brush you can clean out that carbon ring.

You'll also want Blue Loctite or some equivalent for your optic mount screws. Degrease the screws first and let the threadlocker cure 24 hours before shooting. The FAT Wrench torque screwdriver is also nice for that.

If you can be patient this Andro Corp goes on sale often for $400. Really good except the trigger. But hey, perfect excuse to get the excellent LaRue MBT-2S trigger.

https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-1-6x24mm-sfp-rifle-scope-gen-4-illuminated-acss-nova-fiber-wire-reticle an LPVO is nice for versatility and accuracy at longer ranges. This one is really good for the price.

With this optic, trigger, and rifle I think you've got the best bang for your buck.

 
 
 

 

The poster's text states that on September 4, the Social Democratic Party demonstrated in front of parliament to demand the right to vote.

Do I look like I know what a gay peg jizz?

 

It's really good. Got an almost perfect score shooting five stand. I like a circle-dot reticle for it. The key is to keep both eyes open, acquire the target as quickly as possible and focus on it. Then, all I had to do was put the big circle-dot in the flight path ahead of the clay.

For home defense and drone defense, I think this setup is the way to go.
