    AR-10 Questions

    As was mentioned most if not all AR10 rifles are going to use some parts that aren't interchangeable between brands. My brother in law has a Sig 716 and it's a fine weapon, if not a bit expensive IMO. However he is limited to going through SIG to get replacement parts if something should go...

    What's the best general purpose round for the AR-15 platform?

    I've used PMC a lot at an indoor range and it has never done that. I've seen people on other forums also mention that PMC has never done that for them. Plus for punching holes in paper, it's cheap.

    Tell me the difference in AR parts.......

    I would buy a 6920 myself for a second AR at that price if Walmart near me sold firearms. I'm in a part of Florida that Walmart doesn't sell guns. If I drive west about 2 hours I can probably find them though in a different part of the state.

    Tell me the difference in AR parts.......

    You still don't want to buy some no-name part and end up with something that is machined out of spec or whatnot.

    What's the best general purpose round for the AR-15 platform?

    I have three rounds I use in my AR with a 1:7 twist. First the XM193 55Gr Nato 5.56 round. I don't have a brand preference but I have a lot of Lake City stuff. I like it because it's dependable, generally accurate, and every range I've been to will be ok with it. Second the XM855 62Gr Nato...

    Just got my first AR-15

    You could do both the holo and the backup sights and co-witness them. Some brands of red dot have auto shutdown features to conserve battery life as well. I couldn't say about holographic sights like the eotech. OP: your rifle looks great for a first time AR buyer.

    Hunting rifle question

    In Florida Under prohibited methods of taking game (from state regulations) I see nothing of note about bolt action or single shot rifles. Additionally I am told that for hogs the magazine limit does not apply and only deer is specified but the WMA regulations states that semi-auto over 5...

    Tell me the difference in AR parts.......

    Pretty much the only parts I wouldn't go really cheap on are the barrel, bolt carrier group, & barrel nut. They are IMO the three most important parts on an AR for reliability aside from the magazines. Besides these parts you can use a lot of pretty cheap options and still end up with a very...

    dot sight for AR15

    Astigmatism affects how you focus on objects. It results from an irregularly shaped cornia or lens that affects prevents light from properly focusing on the retina. This causes varying degrees of blurriness at any distance. Depending on how severe it is, you might even see double at times. I...

    dot sight for AR15

    The newer Sparc II uses a different battery(CR2032 vs CR2354), but I think is the same size body.

    dot sight for AR15

    I use a Vortex Sparc and it's been great. It runs about $200 and is waterproof, has an unconditional lifetime warranty, is NVG compatible and comes with a multi-height mount system. The Aimpoint H1 won't come with a mount so you have to factor that into your budget as well. For me I didn't see...

    Recoil Reduction

    I sometimes use a PAST recoil pad that you wear. Some people call it the sissy pad but when you are seated in a position that you can't use your upper body to help reduce the thump to your shoulder, they really help. I use this one...

    AR-15/AR-10 furniture

    To post pictures you should transfer the picture to your computer first. I've never found a way to do it directly from a phone. Sounds like you got a nice setup. Lots of online shops have that magpul MOE+ grip in stock in various colors if you want to chase it down and it's very easy to...

    How much did ammo...

    You are right about that. I see people with more money in their weapon than I have but they burn through ammo like a dragster burns through fuel. Many times with very average accuracy. I like to work fundamentals at the range and many times I barely shoot through 100 rounds of each caliber I...

    How much did ammo...

    I used to buy boxes of 500 for under $10. Still have about 3 boxes left.

    semi-auto rifles

    Pretty much any AR15 style rifle fits that bill. The S&W M&P Sport can be found below $600 and can accept 10, 20, 30, 40 round magazines and up. I suppose it depends on whether you want an AR15 rifle or not.

    AR-15/AR-10 furniture

    I just use a Magpul CTR stock. It has a lock so it won't rattle, feels solid but you'd have to try one somewhere to see if it's what you need.

    AR Builds -- What Parts Did You Choose and Why??

    My first AR since I have always been a bolt action and handgun shooter, was pretty basic. I was unfamiliar with the parts and all the manufacturers. So I started with something complete that out of the box, could function in my usage (plinking and paper punching and SHTF situation). I didn't...
