Getting her broken in.
Nice grouping. What kind of optics are you running on that rig?

Ordered my first AR
Last month when I ordered my 3H upper they quoted me 4 to 6 weeks. It arrived 10 days after I ordered it. I was pleased.

Not a fan of Top Shot. I really enjoy Top Guns.

Question about a Stag 20" Barrel
Give Stag a call. I found their sales people to be very helpful.

anyone have experience new frontier arms lw 15 polymer ar lower
According to NFA, the LW-15 weighs 1.6 lbs (25.6 oz) vs. 2.05 lbs for an aluminum lower. Once again, according to NFA that’s 7.2 oz, or 23% lighter then an aluminum lower. No a lot, but it helps to offset the weight of optics.

anyone have experience new frontier arms lw 15 polymer ar lower
I have an LW-15 lower. The molds that New Frontier Armory uses are the very same molds that are used for Plum Crazy. NFA does use a propitiatory polycarbonate blend and claims their lower to have superior strength to PC's (what do you expect them to say?). From my research, the only failure(s) I have read about are at the pivot pin for the Plum Crazy design. Apparently one should support the upper and lower when removing the take-down pin. Regarding this "failure", people talk about it happening, but I have not read where anyone mentions that it has happened to them. NFA does warn users not to dry-fire the lower without an upper attached. If you want to exercise the trigger, be sure to support the hammer. The quality of the NFA LW-15 far exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the trigger take-up (minimal, if any) and pull make for a very accurate and consistent rifle. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another LW-15 from NFA again when I build another AR.

My Inexpensive AR
The scope is marked for 55gr .223; so as long as you don't adjust the range by the markings, it should work just fine on a M&P15-22 The lower was not a kit. It came ready to fire for $99. I like the trigger a lot, but that is a subjective and personal choice. NFA lists the pull at 4 pounds that sounds about right. There is zero slack and the break is almost instant. As a result the pull does feel a bit lighter then you'd expect 4 pounds to feel.

My Inexpensive AR
The mount would not put the scope above an A2 sight. However, you would hardly notice the blur of the front sight at the very bottom on the scope. This will happen with most scope mounts.

Palmetto State Armory - 16" M4 "Stripped" upper - No BCG/CH - $339.95 - Easter Sale
With no BCG or charge handle, it's not that great of a deal. However, it is in stock. That's rare.

Good article
Holy crap that was well written. I'm going to distribute it.

Movies that you can't help but watch over and over
I agree with many that have already been posted. I'm surprised no one mentioned Kill Bill. I'll stop what I'm doing to watch anything by Quentin Tarantino.

What was your first?
I have all of my firsts: Rifle: Harrington & Richardson Pioneer 750 .22 (1972 - I was 10 years old) Shotgun: Mossberg 500 20ga (1974) Handgun: Illama Comanche III .357M (2005) I'm real good at buying, not so good at selling.

My Inexpensive AR
Etched. In fact, it's very easy to see with the lighting turned off; that's how I used it today. I only turned on the lighting to see what it looked like. I'll try to get a few photos down range tomorrow.

My Inexpensive AR
Here is a photo of my inexpensive AR What we have here is: New Frontier Armory LW-15 Lower @ $99 Stag Arms 3H Upper (pinned brake) @ $465 Optisan 1-4x24 (including mount) @ $149 Total = $713 Not included are the cost of: Mags @ $22 each Shipping @ $40 total FFL Fee @ $35 Stock Pinning @ $5 I have limited time with the rifle but so far I'm very impressed. The quality of both the LW-15 lower & 3H upper are very good. I bore sighted the rifle @ 100 yards and that put me @ 10 o'clock on the 7-ring. Within a few shots the scope was spot-on and set to zero. The glass on the scope is very clear and has adequate eye relief. The scope has a circle reticle with a 1/2-MOA center dot. The reticle has both red and green illumination. The illuminated reticle was visible this afternoon, but my range is set up so the sun is at my back. I haven't tried it in direct sun yet. The magnification ring is very stiff. Hopefully that improves over time. I plan on getting 100 or so rounds of PMC fed through this tomorrow and then I'll see how it handles my $0.20/rd Herters. So for a total investment of $815 I have an AR-15 with a scope that hits the 10 ring. As long as it continuously fires ammo I'll be very pleased with the rifle.

What kind of ammo are you all using for AR plinking?
I pay $5.61 per box ($6 including tax) for PMC 55gr locally at Jim Flynn's. Give him a call before you drive there to see what he has in stock. Bring cash as he doesn't take credit cards.

What's the Crappiest Least Reliable Ammo Out There?
There is so much to this question that it's damn near impossible to answer. There is ammo of poor quality and defective (like raz-O mentioned above; squibs, overcharges, double charges...) that just shouldn't be chambered. Then there is the ammo that your firearm just won't tolerate. It may fire fine in your buddies weapon but your weapon rejects it. Then there is ammo that is not consistently accurate. Then there is dirty ammo. So I have to put the question back to you; what is your level of tolerance for crappy ammo?

Why buy a 22LR rifle if you already have a 22LR pistol?
.22 rifles are fun to shoot for the same reasons a .22 pistol are great fun: - low recoil, very accurate - cheap ammo - low purchase price There is a reason these rifles are so popular. Go shoot one and see what I mean.

The awesomeness that is Harbor Freight.
I have HF tools. I try to stay away from their tools with moving parts. I have metric & SAE 1/2 impact driver sets, around 13 to 15 pieces, that I only paid $20. They have performed great for years. Luckily it's a hour trip from me so its not my "go-to" tool store.

Any recommendations on motorcycle repair shops?
Cleaning the carbs on the YX is fairly straight forward. They will require a sync when reinstalled. The job should only cost $250-ish. Run as fast as you can from the $1,000 shop. The shop I would recommend is in Washington NJ (Washington Cycle Works), too far to travel. Better yet, buy a vacuum carb sync for $80 or so and do it yourself.
