Jcluff, I am orig from NYC so I wanted my first AR to be something I "built" id have to Form 1 it either way even if I did a stripped lower. I had a feeling the type of steel wouldnt matter too much. I was just looking for SS but without breaking the bank, and trying to stay lightweight. However sub-moa is what im looking for, I dont need it to be a tack driver at 500 yds, im not going into any competions. Tango, I appreciate the incite. I wont be shooting too much, all I usually ever do is take the weapons out to verify zero then only shoot if I get bored. I always thought the super long FF forends looked wierd, but would a longer one actually help stabilize the barrel even if its FF?

Hey yall, just finished out an 80% lower build on a PDW AR15 build. Waiting on my Form 1 to SBR the bad boy. Kind of reconvinced myself to go back to 5.56 and the AR15 platform. Looking at making a SPR clone. It'll be Mk12-ish but not making a literal copy, the SEALs can keep their Gucci gear, I want a 500 yard weapon to punch holes in...stuff with. Building just the upper on a budget, this will be the first upper I've made from scratch so Im not sure of all the parts I need. The barrel is the one I had more of a question on, I can't justify spending a car payment on it, I was looking at this one from customar15 https://www.customar15.net/shop/barrels-ar-15-upper-receivers/18in-stainless-straight-fluted-heavy-barrel-wylde-chamber-18-twist/ Is 416 Stainless a bad thing? All I know is I "should" get a SS barrel. The free float tube I was looking at is the AM15 made by Anderson Mfg http://www.andersonrifles.com/product/am-15-rifle-free-float-tube-assy/ Matching it with their light weight stripped upper http://www.andersonrifles.com/product/lightweight-sport-upper-these-upper-receivers-do-not-have-forward-assist-or-ejection-port-cover-capabilities/ Will that gas block mate with a rifle length gas tube and this rifle? Or should I not mismatch when it comes to companies? The gas system is the only thing I cant wrap my head around. Thanks in advance, and Im open to suggestions regarding SPR'ing

That was a CADOJ ruling for guys in Cali having "lower parties". Not sure of any ATF rulings on the issue, as far as real black and white rulings on the issue

I had a feeling there was one on post, but had no idea where. Thanks, thatll probably be a lot cheaper. My mechanics werent about to let me use their mill press anyway. I appreciate it, thats what I get for jumping right into 80%s

So I finally joined the 80% Craze and ordered two of them on sale from Anderson Mfg in KY. My only experience with aluminum is a small bit of boat welding and mutilating GMVs and Humvees with power drills to attach antennas... Ive been milling it out SLOWLY with a dremel. Got the selector, and hammer/trigger pins holes drilled out and i started deepening the holes on the top template. My wife was very clear on me NOT getting a drill press or milling machine, as only doing 2 lowers isnt justifiable. My city boy self will probably end up jacking this up soon, soo...is there anyone between Clarksville or Nasvhille that has a CNC shop or a milling machine I could use in case impending doom happens?

Hey all,figured I lurked around long enough and decided to join.   Originally from the Fascist Bloomberg Conglomerate, formerly known as New York (Bronx Native), the Army took me and my wife (also AD Army) to Clarksville about 2 years ago.   Now that I can actually own guns, I've amassed a slight amount that is never good enough, here for some sound advice...and notably, where to find a machine shop!   TC and look forward to talking with all of you.
