    Atlas works bottom metal

    https://atlasworxs.com/shop/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-aics-howa-1500-weatherby-vanguard-sa/ I’m curious if anyone has any experience with these? Legacy has one, so does mdt, but if I can use a more “universal” mag instead of something proprietary, I’d like it better.

    Building my first AR10 in .243, need some wisdom

    I recently bought a few parts for an AR10 build, coincidently, my first. I have a decent knowledge of firearms, but not of building and assembling. I bought a Stag 10 complete lower and stripped upper, links below. It is important to note that these are left handed. I'm currently ordering a...

    Glock 17L Build

    Always wanted a G17L since I saw one. Always thought of it as a "9MM Magnum" since the slide/sight radius was such. I couldn't get one for the longest time because of where I lived and I just bought a 17L slide on GB. Stainless steel, looks really nice. Big reason I jumped on it is because it...

    Preferred AR15 Armorer's Wrench and Must Have Tools/References for AR15 Build

    I'm interested in building an AR15. It will be a first but hopefully not a last. I'm acquiring tools and knowledge. I just bought a new Torque wrench today and a Botach Barrel Spline Socket Rod.

    AR15 Short Stroking Conundrum

    Hello, new to the forum, and not new to guns. I'm having a problem with the AR15 I recently built (my first). I have been having short stroking problems since the start; 20% of my spent casings are ejecting, and it never strips next round from mag. Last weekend, I had a friend help me diagnose...

    Uppers And BCG’s

    I’m new to the AR building world, and am finishing a build soon. My hang ups are I don’t know which upper to go with, as well as bolt carrier group, or even how much it matters. I’m as of right now thinking I’ll do a bear creek arsenal upper in .223 Wylde with a Nitrid3 Syst3ms bolt carrier...

    .223 Wylde or 5.56?

    I’m wondering if I should go .223 Wylde or 5.56x.45 on this next upcoming build. I’ve got about 5k rounds of 5.56, but also around 8-9k of .223. All of my ARs have 5.56 barrels in them so I’m safe to shoot 223. But I’m really interested in this cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel in .223...

    Great Plains Kit

    Hello, all I decided to build a percussion rifle kit, recently, and picked up Lyman's Great Plains. Everything looks pretty solid, but The wood to metal fit isn't particularly flush which is kind of a concern for me. If the inletting were a little too small, it'd be a simple matter of...

    Caved and Bought First Lower

    I'd been wanting an AR for a while but kept putting it off. Figured I'd wait until next summer when I graduate. I wanted a complete BCM build.
