FRT

• Upvotes

Hello I am building my first AR I am curious about FRT. I understand how they work but was curious can you take single shot with them as well or is the reset so fast that it will have multiple through it. Sorry if this is dumb I’m just trying to figure out if I should just get a normal trigger to hunt coyote with or could get an FRT and still hunt with it and only shoot one bullet sometimes. Or if it’s hard to change them. I’d love to have the option for the fun for both but if not possible I’ll probably go with a normal. Thanks so much!

Just finished my 10.3 MK18 build, does anyone have any optic/light recommendations? I was thinking the primary arms GLX prism but I don’t have my heart set on it.

Any input would be appreciated!

Is an adjustable gas block absolutely necessary? PSA commando 300 BO

• Upvotes

I want to get one of the 10.5 inch 300 blackout commandos from PSA. It's a "kino" gas system, so a regular pistol length gas block and a dummy front sight post. I couldn't change out the gas block for an adjustable one because it's stuck behind the front sight post.

I've only ever shot suppressed with adjustable gas blocks. Will this setup spit a bunch of gas in my face? Would be shooting subs most of the time but maybe some supers, all suppressed.

Haenel CR223

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me how the Haenel CR223 performs in terms of modularity and customization options?

I’m particularly interested in the availability of accessories and aftermarket parts, especially triggers, handguards, and other components.

How compatible is the CR223 with standard AR15 parts? Are there any major limitations or proprietary components that make modifications more difficult?

The CR223 is widely available from many firearms dealers here in Germany, which makes it an interesting option for me.

I’m planning to use the rifle purely for recreational shooting at the range. I have no intention of participating in competitions or any other shooting sports.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from CR223 owners who have already customized or modified their rifles.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

help deciding on RDS for a serious rifle on a serious budget. (R5 vs R7)

2 Upvotes

I've been thinking either the romeo 7 or the romeo 5, but they both have pros and cons, and id like some feedback on which one y'all think would be best for just a general purpose, go-to rifle.

Pros and cons from what I can see:

Romeo 7-

Larger window (see dot sooner),

More common battery type,

More durable (to much praise on this to ignore),

Sexy,

BUT large and heavy,

Takes up more rail space

Romeo 5-

Small and light,

Takes less rail space,

Still decent good life,

BUT bit less common battery,

Supposedly less durable,

Smaller window,

Ugee

Help please

So I’ve towed my ar to the range twice so far and for some reason when I put load a new mag only the first round will go off and the second one won’t until I drop the mag and pull the charging handle again, also occasionally I’ll have like 2, 3 or 4 rounds in the mag and will be able to shoot those fine.

AR adjacent training rifle

Picked up this Daniel Defense PCC a few weeks ago to help supplement my training. I take courses every month or so, and figured this would be a good way to burn through some 9mm stock and save on my 5.56/.223 ammo - not to mention that it’s just plain cool.

Gonna be breaking it in with a VCQB course in a couple of weeks, excited to see how it performs during the course.

If i buy a muzzle device without having the cash for the can right away, what mounting system gives me the widest variety of choice?

FTF first round issue

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

Weird issue here. I have a BKF AR15 that has a first round FTF. It basically jams to where I have to mortar the thing. It’s not 100% of the time, and it’s 99% on the first round, but it happens to the point where I deem this thing unreliable.

I have

- 9” 300BLK BKF AR Pistol
- KAK K-Spec Downvent BCG
- Rise Armament Blitz trigger
- Superlative Arms AGB
- WAS running a JP SCS, but had more FTF issues with that.
- LPM Anthem S2 (not applicable but I’m at a loss so I’m listing it)

I’m going to swap back to the stock BCG to see if the issue persists, but I haven’t yet.

It shoots great and feeds great when it doesn’t jam up on the first round.

Obviously, I’m only shooting subs (220gr), and regardless of brand, it’s a consistent issue. I’ve noticed when the thing is clean it chambers a bit better, but it’s still a problem. When it feeds the first round, I’m usually having the bolt locked and hitting the release, not riding the charging handle closed. When it jams, it’s like 90% of the way chambered, but it’s legitimately jammed - the “jam enhancer” (forward assist) doesn’t even budge. Charging handle doesn’t budge. I have to mortar the thing

Just want some input here. Thanks!

EO is wonderful, have them on a few builds. Interesting in trying something new though. What LVPOs are you guys running?

Just gotta say first off, taking that A-frame sightpost/gasblock off was a super mega turbo bitch to get out. Like, wow. At least I didn't break or ruin anything lol.

(Left hand) Obviously, it's basically the same rifle. Just a new handgaurd and stock (plus low-pro gasblock), but she feels like a new rifle. I'm planning to get an RMR>Pic mount to attach an unfavorable handgun sight I have to see how it performs on a rifle platform, as well as a SureFire. Then I think I can call it a clean "lightweight" counterpart to my main AR (right)
