TorqueConverter Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Ar 15s are nice things. Necessity be damned, I'm glad I live in a country where people are allowed to have nice things and are free from wide, sweeping, knee jerk, bans. Quote
unageo09 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 My PSA blemished lower came in the other day and it looks great. I've had two people look at and they can't believe they are calling it a blemished lower. I've since ordered a complete upper to match it. Processing and shipping times are a bit slow for uppers so it will probably be a couple weeks before it gets here but I can't wait to get it together and go to the range. Quote
Stlbob Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 i have owned a few AR's lots and lots of Ak47's...but know im so happy with the AUG and the Sig 556.both are piston driven and you can empty a 100 round drum pull it apart and hold the bolt and bolt carrier in your hand.Very easy to clean and break down.Both have properties of AK's AR's and even the Fal..both have adjustable gas systems and will feed and fire anything.brass,steel,etc.I buried a mag for the Sig in dirt for a weekend dug it up beat it against a fence and the gun ran perfect..only other gun passed that test was always an AK..have yet to have an Ar pass it.In fact i used to screw with my son and put 4 or 5 different types of ammo in his clip....lol....He is still Army so he a big fan of the AR platform.

Super User clayton86 Posted March 24, 2014 Super User Posted March 24, 2014 The piston systems are nice. My M4 has only jammed up due to magazine issues dirt in the mag or carbon. I have never once in 6+ years in the infantry had my M4 jam due to the gun being dirty everything mostly double feeds are due to the mag. My Pmags I don't think have ever gave me an issue in my M4. I would get an AR for at home but it would be a 24" varmint/match model non of that tactical crap that has no practicality other then looking "cool" Quote
Stlbob Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you...i have seen Ar's with so much crap bolted on them it looked like something from StarShip troopers...eeehh cant do it..Neither of mine have any whiz bang.Just a nice strobe flashlight and iron sights Troy buis..when i get some greem im getting a nice red dot for both..and thats it...I want these guns light enough you can hump them.if you have to. quick edit: Raider if you read this ' hump ' has nothing to do with what your thinking... 1 Quote

I have flip up iron sights and a red dot. It's lightweight and I hope I never have to hump it anywhere. Nicoles', which is being built will have more toys than that. It is not likely that it will ever be used for anything other than plinking. But it is just like custom rods and reels. If you have the money, you customize as much as you want just for fun. I have money, SHE wants it customized. You married guys know what happens next. Quote
Stlbob Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 i tell ya' i was done humping packs and rifles,until the fed goverment showed me the bang up job they did in New Orleans after and during Katrina. we live on the New Madrid fault and its not a question of if,but When!! so i have a lrg Alice pack set up with food and other supplies for a few days for the wife and i..a chest rig for 8 mags and a drop holster for my 92SF..have a total of 7 mags for that with 124grn +p gold dots. they all fit on the belt of the chest rig..bought the wife the best soft body armour money could buy... if we have the big one here,things will go sideways quick..i heard enough horrors from people that were there.a lot of it never made the news...i will be damned if im gonna get caught with my pants down. 1 Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 25, 2014 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 25, 2014 I hear ya We lost power for two weeks after a minor storm in 2012. Mostly because I live in the sticks and wasn't a high priority neighborhood, but it got me thinking. What happens if a Katrina type storm hits central Fl? We are not "preppers" but we are prepared to live off grid for a month or so if necessary. Generators, stocked freezers, gas for cooking, steel conex shelter (it doubles as a workshop), basic necessities, cash and enough firepower to invade France if necessary. Quote

My M4 is a bare bones model lol I have my PEQ15 on it then the ACOG and a new trigger set I had the armorer put in it. I have a stupid front grip with the bipod they gave me that doesn't get put on unless we have range time and it's just to keep it out of the dirt when not carrying it. Quote

unageo09 Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I got my upper in today so my Palmetto State Armory AR 15 is complete. The quality and craftsmanship looks really nice. The upper fits nicely with the lower. A real tight fit. I have the PSA Premium upper with the 1/7 twist and FN chrome lined barrel. The lower is a PSA Classic lower. It needs a good cleaning and oiling and some rear sights then off to the range to test it out. Quote
