Barms

thanks for all the info. 1) I really don't mind the AFG, it feels right for me. but yes, I need to play around with the length on it.. I had it way close to the receiver at first.. I want to slide it down another set of screws.. I only have 75 rounds down it so far. 2) I thought I had the rear sight back very far.. if I had it back farther I would worry about the CH getting interfered with. (however I have an extended latch and I'm practicing yanking the latch with single LEFT hand so really the sight should never be in the way. 3). the ladder rails are just there for looks now, I'm not concerned they add bulk to what I had already said was a fat handguard to begin with. As I'm practicing on it right now my hand never really comes off the AFG. the ladders are really there for looks (for now at least, I know I sound girlie talking about the looks, but its new, ya know). I have not run the red dot I just got it on the Black Friday. I put it on and put the pictures up. its 16" midlenghth, Spikes lower with color logo, its a delton barrel, the trigger is Stag Arms and feels amazing to me there is just one micro of a take-up "click" and then its just crisp BOOM on next pull. I have a BCM charge handle. The free float is a "guntec". like I said I ordered the barrel with a free float and wasn't knowledgeable to be more specific on that. The comp is a Levang and I love the sound of it. (yes I know not tactical but this is just my first toy).

Regrets on my first build: 1) the Mako grip color does not match better with Magpul FDE. I love the grip shape and feel but the color bothers me. 2) Wish I knew more about free float rail sizes and barrel nut nuances? I ordered a complete upper and wanted a "non-quad" rail, but I would have liked it more streamlined.. like the Midwest Industries says there is only 1.5 inches in diameter. that's way thinner than mine. 3) I will probably wind up lengthening the fixed stock. 4) back to free floats.. when I finally got mine I was sort of bummed how monolithic the size of them was vs how they looked in other pictures.. (or at least mine). I wanted something to break up the color.. right now I have ladder covers screwed directly onto the handguard, yes kind of retarded they are there with no pic rails, I like the look, but definitely not normal. I may paint the rails still need a sling. I'm debating about where the attachment points should go.

My first build, its a midlength:

I tried a regular reset of the dashboard. Didn't work. Before I spend anymore time on this I wish I could even know if sensors are on the damn things or not. For more info: I bought dedicated rims and blizzaks for my 328. The old set had run flats and sensors. I put the new package on last weekend and now I have the yellow light. The prior car they were on was a BMW too They are BMW rims. The guy I bought them from said he can't recall if they had sensors or not

Yes I got my tires off thank you for all who offered to help two weeks ago. I was okay with the notion the snow tire package I got for a steal for my car didn't have run flats. However I had no idea the yellow TPMS light would stay on. To my chagrine also the dealer will not temporarily turn the light off. Here is my question. I don't even know the tires have TPMS in them anyway. I was told they came off a 2009 328 convertible I assumed they would have the TPMS in them. So either they are not there or are broke. Is there a way I can find out if they are in there without taking to a tire place? My worst case scenario is I just drive around for 3 months with the yellow light on. Yes I'm fearless I'm not worried about driving around with no spare tire. I think paying to add the sensors is a waste of my money. Call me a rebel I guess

Just so I'm clear on what is transfer here and what is not. At first I thought that this parents stuff was illegal transjfer. But the key here is STORAGE NOT USE. as long as nobody else touches them then all parties are safe. Right ?

My shipping was $7

So thread drift here but still topical... Someone school me on what material scratch what. Like when do you use brass tools and when do you use plastic ones?

Before I mangle mine some day. Was the problem a punch too large or too small?

Yeah guys. I wasn't asking because I'm trying to replicate sniper moves... I was only thinking about it after the 50/200 post a couple weeks ago.. And was just wondering about shooting angles. But I'll take the answer as "it doesn't matter" Thanks!

sorry if this seems idiotic but maybe it can help some noobs too.. given how much I've learned about bullet trajectories here.. what "height" do you guys set the target versus where your barrel height is? i.e. if you are laying prone and the barrel is 12 inches off the ground.. is the "bullseye" you are aiming for 12" off the ground too? if you are seated at a bench is the bullseye bench height too? Or does it not matter.. like if you are laying prone are you shooting at a target that is 3 feet off the ground? I wouldn't have asked this question before I found out about the ups and downs of a bullet in flight. For my purposes I think I will be going for the 50/200 method.

in the last picture on the right it appears that's some sort of quick disconnect.. so this guy comes with a riser and that disconnect?

18 out of 25 ain't too shabby!! Have you taken lessons or is that au-naturale?

What are the minimum bets for table games? Same as in the casino?

Yup. All cosmetics. Does any majority of suburban commandos warrant FDE? Of course not.. It's personal preference And Vladtepes yes I saw how the KAC are shaped oddly. I might look into a paint job. I'm pretty good with that stuff.

so my free float rail looks like this: I didn't want a quad rail I'm not planning on a lot of accessories.. I know I just wanted an AFG on the bottom and a sight on top. but now I feel like it just looks too monolithic black and I want to add some FDE to the sides. However, I do NOT want to add picatinnys to the sides so that I can add ladder covers. I love the look of FDE ladders but I just don't want to mimic a quad setup just for that. So I'm considering panels that would screw right into the holes. I'm thinking sort of like the Midwest panels but I dunno.. something about them seems not appealing.. what I found looking around which I think would be perfect is something like this, its panels for a Knights Arm URX3 rails.. what I like about them is they are slimmer than say a Troy Battle rail covers.. but I don't know if those come in a color close to FDE. I almost wish I could just "glue" the ladder covers right onto the sides of the rails (of course I won't) it would give me that look without the bulk of adding picatinnys.. Or I could resort to any various number of panels out there that snap into the pic rails and merely drill holes in them and then fasten them onto the rail holes. I welcome suggestions. I'm having a bit of remorse with that free float rail.. its quite bulky..i think I like the look of the slimmer Midwest SSGen2. (if someone tells me how to make the pictures bigger I will)

Buy an upper with a strikefire and then sell me the optic for $120

I'm liking this thread.

I thought Passaic county mental health is 5 month backlog lately

His second part: you do not bring a copy back. The seller of the weapon mails him his copy

On amazon right now it looks like the Sparc is $30 more than the Strikefire. (yes I'm sure BF sales are soon) But in general is the $30 more for the Sparc due to better features or is just a size/weight thing?

Epic fail from them last black Friday on M&P mepro. Had to call the CC company to get the refund such they were very unresponsive on the "where's my order?" emails

+1. John at North Jersey Trap. You can try all you want on your own. But a real lesson will improve you by 50%.

alright I got it.. its merely a cosmetic thing.. just wanted to make sure they were both free float..

Yes.. Delta ring.. duh, I should have known that.. but why does one look there is no ring and the other has the appearance of a ring?
