  1. Yeah....good ideal, especially after recalling you had some issues with your gas tube...makes me wonder...

     

    I'm confident to gas tube isn't an issue anymore. The weapon cycled fine with Ron's reloads while using Pmags. I found the Hexmags didn't feed the Gemtech or Ron's ammo reliably. But with the Gemtech, it didn't care what magazine was being used.

  2. Post a picture of the stoppage.

     

    I didn't think to take any. Don't want to jam a live round in the neighborhood. I'll have to wait till I have time to go out to the range again.

  3. Had a good time, and learned a lo too. I got a lot of practice unjamming the 300 BO. Only using Magpul Mags for it from now on and will never buy Gamtec ammo again. Special thanks to Ron for sparing some ammo that will feed and cycle!

  4. Thanks, I just needed to see if I was way off or doing things right. I am at 22.75with a poly lower and standard buffer and stock. Those will be replaced and I should hit near if not under 1lb. I have shot the poly a lot and it seems to work well but I will be swapping out with a MAG lower after I see how low I can go. I think a new barrel and light bcg I should hit under 5lbs. I will see though.

    And it seems like cheaper alternatives to what I've gotten for my build come out all the time, so you have that.

  5. Out of curiosity what is the weight of the complete lower. After all these threads on ultralight AR, I think I am going to jump in. I am going to start with the lower.

    18.5 oz without a stock, vs. 26.6 oz of my 5.56 lower without the stock. Both have lighter than milspec buffers, and both have hammers with the hook cut off. Essentially, given similar modified parts, I saved a litte over half a pound on the reciever using the lightest parts otherwise available on the market (minus the FCG, I have a ALG ACT in my 300 BO vs. a poly trigger that I assume is still available somewhere).

  6. I was trying to be funny with the "weighting" [emoji20]

    It was. At first I was going to call you out on spelling, but then I got it and didn't.  :pleased:

  7. Wouldn't a gym membership have been a little more cost effective?  Do you even lift bro?

     

    :taunt:

     

    I can't risk losing any more weight, my bmi is already really low. Plus, I do what I want, yo!  :tough:

     

    Still patiently weighting on pictures.

    ;)

    Let me shoot it first!

  8. I know this is not totally kosher, and I swear i am not your wife going incognito, but how much $$ are you into so far on this project? (ish)?  (Not wanting a full breakdown, just curious.)

     

    You probably don't want to know. It hurts to think about it. But I built this AR with parts I wanted, so that makes up a lot of the cost. If I had to guesstimate, the lower was $400+ (has custom buffer though) and the upper is somewhere around $1000+/-. I'd also like to get a light to put on it, so that will add some cost.

     

    Won't know if it's worth it till I shoot it though.
