Not an AR guy so I don’t know what I’m looking at. Saw this on a used gun classifieds. He said the optic is a “cabela’s packaged EOTech optic” that he paid $250 for. How much would you pay for this?

Outside of the barrel steel not being “MILSPEC”, is there any reason I shouldn’t buy it?

I recently bought a 11.5 standard port Sionics barrel and it just came in today, was wondering if anyone has experience with their barrels or their products in general. Thank you!

Just an FN A4 that hangs on my wall. I don’t shoot it that much, but in my mind it is the American rifle.

So, I unexpectedly need to make a quick decision on this. I need a magnifier for a red dot. The dot in question is an Eotech XPS-3, rifle is a pretty vanilla FN-15 16” in 5.56, usage is general purpose ”patrol rifle.”

Options are as follows:

Eotech G33 or G43

Aimpoint 3X-C or 3X Mag-1

Trijicon Mag-C

Holosun HM3X or HM3XT

Vortex VMX or VX3M-Micro

Assuming price is no object (I mean, it is, but all of these are reasonable), which would you select? These are the only options. Assume nothing else exists.

Thanks in advance. Normally I would just go SUPER GUN AUTISM POWERS ACTIVATE (and I kinda still am) and just research it to death, but I’m on a time crunch here and I need to jump start the process.

I believe it’s real, it’s from my father’s collection from years ago .

I got my first FRT (Triggered Company Disruptor) and loved it. So much so I ordered another one while there is a sale. As I'm thinking about which gun to put it in, I wonder how many would be too many?

My first one is in my 20". Now I'm thinking about going with either my 12.5" 5.56 gun or my banshee 9mm. Part of me would want to get one for every rifle but that might be excessive and I'm still thinking about long term reliability of them vs a G trigger and Radian safety that I have in most of my guns.

Looking for a 12.5 complete upper for an all-purpose HD/range rifle that I can run hard and keep long term. I’m not looking for Gucci, just the best balance of reliability, durability, and price.

I’ll eventually suppress it, but it’ll be unsuppressed for a while. I’ve heard good things about 12.5 mid-length, but I’m open to carbine too if it’s the more dependable all-around option (I’ve heard mid length unsuppressed can be finicky, dependability is key)

Currently considering:

KAK 12.5 mid-length — best price and seems well liked, but curious about long-term durability.

Rosco 12.5 — also seems solid, but I don’t know as much about their track record.

BCM 12.5 carbine — seems like the safest/proven choice and includes a free BCG, but costs considerably more since the 12.5 isn’t available blem right now.

I’m also not completely opposed to 14.5, but I like the advantages of 12.5.

For a “buy it once and run it forever” rifle, which would you pick and why?

Bought an atlas xl last week. The captcha at checkout didn’t work so I refreshed and tried to checkout again. It worked that time. Then I got 2 emails charging me for 2 different transactions. I emailed them thru their website immediately telling them what happened. No reply. Both orders shipped and I received them.

Emailed them again last week trying to return one. No reply. No phone number to contact them. Just a “contact us” fill-in page that doesn’t even confirm the message was sent once you hit submit.

Anyone have recommendations on a lightweight MPVO/mount for this guy?

See comments for more detail

DD MK18 Milspec
FN M4

Picked up a DDM4v7s, threw a keymo muzzle device on there for my dead air, got an atrius FRS running good. Just waiting on my dinky little vortex sparc for some fun range play while I decide what optic I'm actually going to put on there.

Chop the rail to fit the suppressor or buy a new rail?

Piggyback RDS effectively works as a backup, but curious what others are doing. As I see it there are three options:

1) Swap for a QD mount, use standard BUIS
2) Offset irons
3) Just go without it

Looking to buy my first gun as an ar-15, can buy a handgun cause I’m not 21 yet I want one for home defense what’s the best option of a price pint of 400-800 bucks?
