I've gotten this before too. Nothing ever came of it, if that makes you feel any better. Just ask them exactly what info they have on you, then tell them not to call again.

Just so we're all on the same page, haha.

There is nothing wrong with shooting "corrosive" ammo, unless you're lazy and don't take care of your toys.

 

Do you change the oil in your car at the required intervals? If not, you should.

 

Do you clean your firearm after every range trip? If not you should.

 

Look, this is me laughing. I don't wash my cars after ever commute, nor do I clean all my guns after every session. The corrosive ammo ESPECIALLY the 5.45 surplus will rust a bolt shut after burning up a few hundred rounds if left uncleaned for a month or two. Sure, you can mitigate this by shooting a few non-corrosive rounds afterwards to blow out some of the funk, but next time you get your rifle out and see scaly rust on the working parts you may feel differently.

 

I can find you a number of totally off-the shelf AR15s that have gone thousands of rounds without cleaning, and suffered no loss of accuracy, reliability, etc. No, it's not magic- it's called not buying junk.

 

Also, you might find an AK74 that will shoot 3-4 MOA, you might even find a handful. They're a 6 MOA system and there's no way around that. Just like the AR15 is a 3 MOA system. Don't turn shooting into a chore by having to strip and dunk your shit, unless you really want to save the money.

 

Also, have a look at AK74 mag prices vs AR mag prices.

+1 Hell you order the parts and I will build the lower for you. Check out Dale at Delta Epsilon Engineering in Hilliard. He does the cheapest transfers I know and has good stripped lowers in stock. You lower of choice+BCM upper is the best bang for your buck. PM if you want, I have build 20+ ARs.

 

If you want a right out of the box blaster, check out CMMG Bargin Bin with Dale transferring it for you. It's like $600 plus transfer. I am at work so I can't link but google "CMMG Bargin Bin Rifle" and it should get you in the right place.

 

All good info here. Don't be nervous about building and AR. Sticking an upper on a lower is two push-pins and that's it. No fitting, filing, messing around etc. You really can't go wrong with a $600 CMMG. Great value, name brand, might have a scratch or blotchy finish... no biggie.

I'm a rifle newb sorry

 

Well, corrosive ammo is a good way to make fun into work. It's not a big deal, you just have to commit to cleaning your rifle after shooting it or you'll have rust and corrosion/pitting. If you just want something that goes bang and puts holes in stuff, you might want a .22. You can shoot a whole lot more, it's much safer without eye/ear pro, and you'll save tons of money. Still fun though.

Get a complete lower locally. Shouldn't be more than $250/$300. Next, mail-order an upper from BCM, and bang! Good AR for under $1k.

why would you want to put a scope on a 6MOA rifle? Are your eyes really that bad haha?

 

An AR is a much better platform to mount a scope on, and more accurate ammo isn't very expensive. If you want a 2-3 MOA rifle, get an AR. If you want a 6 MOA rifle, get an AK.

 

Be advised if you get a 5.45mm AK or AR, the surplus ammo is corrosive so be prepared to clean right after EVERY session. Not just lube, or pull a snake through the bore... but CLEAN. That means water through the barrel, gas tube, bolt, dry and relube.

What kind of shooting do you do? Are you plinking a couple hundred rounds a month? Running matches or classes with a couple thousand rounds a month? Do you just want a safe-queen to oggle and fondle ()

About time!

The US military created a set of specifications that cover all of these issues. Buy parts that are manufactured to military specs and you are as good as you are going to get. Buy what you want, though, it's your money!

 

 

EDIT: Also keep in mind that just because it's a military spec and name brand doesn't mean you won't have problems. I've experienced problems with S&W feed ramps and just had to send a Daniel Defense barrel back because they drilled the gas port the wrong size!

 

"Mil-Spec" is something that everyone uses, and few companies really mean. A "Mil-Spec" AR would be an M16 or M4 manufactured by FN or Colt (or a few others depending on generation) and I don't think that's what you're talking about. Other than that, it refers to general dimensions, processes, materials, etc.. When you go to a gun shop and say "I want a mil-spec AR" then the clerk will hand you an AR that is the same size and accepts the same magazines as the military spec weapon. Will it have a military or commercial buffer tube? Will the carrier keys be staked properly? Will the buffer and spring be correct? Will the extractor spring and buffer be correct for the rifle/carbine? Will the barrel be chrome lined with the right twist and chamber? Will the profile be correct? Will the front site base be the right hight for the receiver? Etc. etc. etc. etc. And I'm just getting warmed up to get started.

 

Mil-spec is the biggest BS term used in the whole world of ARs. Jesus, it's so damn irritating people say "I have a mil-spec AR" and before you know anything about it you can see the barrel isn't the right length! Ha! I'm trying to be patient...

Sorry, this just is not true. The $600 AR15's will function just as well as a similarly configured name brand rifle.

 

Why wouldn't it?? What makes the name brand pieces better?

 

Metallurgy, tolerances, assembly, quality control etc. I suggest you check out some AARs and see how many Bushmasters, DPMS, CMMG, etc. ARs shit the bed when put through their paces. Sure you can get a pretty crummy rifle, put a great BCG in it, feed it good ammo out of good mags and it may be 8/10ths as good...

I completely disagree with paying more for "brand name" AR15 parts. Just make sure that your parts meet military specifications and you'll be fine.

 

I've put together quite a few AR15 rifles in different configurations with many different brands of lowers and have never had any issues with assembly or rifle performance.

 

It's funny, but I've seen more problems with name brand pieces, particularly barrels, than with the so called "cheap" parts!

 

Yes, that is funny.

 

Most people don't work their ARs hard enough to find out where they stop working. A cheap $600 AR will work just fine for plinking, and sitting in a case. That's all most people want/need. If you're going to run a bunch of rounds (1000+) without cleaning it and shoot fast/hard then a $600 AR isn't going to work for you.

anyone have a suggesting on a TYPE of christmas tree?

 

It's really a matter of personal preference. I like the firs- you'll probably see douglas and frasier. Just feel the needles when you look, but the scotch pines are prickly and the white pines are softer if I remember right.

 

Have you ever done this before?

I got a CMMG kit back when they were new. It's a little bit fussy about ammo, and the weaker/cheaper .22 like the remington gold (the cheap shit) will short stroke/jam often. I can only run a about four-hundred rounds through mine before it starts to get really unreliable and needs cleaned. CMMG has excellent warranty service though. I had to send mine in because the extractor got chipped and they sent me a brand new unit with a free mag immediately.

there goes an amazing 30 years of air dominance

 

Seriously. Shame on them for spending our tax dollars to build something awesome, then spending our tax dollars again to destroy something awesome. What are the Iranians going to do, break into the boneyard, unbolt the nose gear and mail it back?

 

I guess by that logic we should go ahead and dump all our small arms we're not using to keep the taliban from breaking into the armories and taking it. Jesus, I don't get it.

Nice. Now go shoot it. P38s are good shooters, girls seem to like them too. I picked up a '50s German P38 awhile back when they were dirt cheap ($230?) but have since sold it and miss it. Don't let it go.

Have you talked to the police? I can't just put a sticker on my truck that says "logs may fall out back- stay at least 600 yards away" and expect legal protection.

 

Wait until the salt trucks come out. Those fuckers always spray gravel all over my shit. My old car had scads of chips in the windshields from those assholes.

Dear Ronald Reagan,

Please rise from the dead.

Love - America

Seriously. Where's 2010 Ronald Reagan? Shouldn't he have a Jedi apprentice or something?

F-schumer and his democrat buddies

Thanks a bunch government. Damn democrat trying to take shit away from people. Watch out jack & coke drinkers!

I laughed, but I don't know you guys

has anyone tried it for ps3 yet? That's pretty cool, I didn't even know you could get out of the chair!

Yeah, because most people just adopt the crap the popular outlets spew and become desensitized to it. It's an example of "I heard it a bunch of times, it must be true!" I sure hope Obama doesn't plan on supporting this "robin hood" BS. Like anyone would go for INTL welfare, haha!

I'd definitely hit up some in-and-out burger.

 

...Burger and fries for $3.99, faggot!

2004 called looking for its' game.

 

This game is... not that good. Horrible graphics, you can't tell if you are hitting people like you can in MW2 (the thumping noise), animations are bad, maps are bland, textures are bland, guns are bland.

 

So they got rid of powerful kill streaks -- big whoop -- now people just get less-powerful ones way more often which is just as annoying.

 

Once I try out all the guns I will be back with MW2.

 

Yeah, that's how the treyarch COD games are. They need to take hit markers out of hardcore, and make the "killed by--" not there so you don't really know someone's dead until you see their body. Make it more hardcore. Awesome.

 

Are you guys getting knifed from 25 feet away MW2 style? I knifed 2 people yesterday the were 180* behind me.

My two gripes:

 

The graphics look "watercolor" as compared to MW2

 

The maps are pretty generic

 

Yeah, maps aren't diverse enough. It's really disappointing that COD STILL has no destructible environments, and the sound is still not anywhere near what it should be (look at BC2 or MoH). That and the lag and anti-lag is terrible. I paid $80 and I still have to "buy" damn perks and attachments! Wtf?

 

Zombies are awesome though.
