If you are gonna do comps/flashihiders one of us needs a Battlecomp to test. Word is there are the new standard. I might be ordering one in a few weeks.

Yep - that's the next portion. I'm going to enlist Jeep to help me write up suppressors, as well. I'll be plugging you to do a barrel section.

Question on reinstalling a barrel.

I took off my barrel from an LMT monorail. Trying to get it back on, it's a tight fit. Should there be force invovled to get a barrel into the upper reciever? I would have to "drive the barrel in about a 1/4 - 1/2 inch for the retaining screws to line up.

Any thoughts?

Russ D · Jan 6, 2011

Sometimes it can be snug but I've never encountered a need for driving it in with tools. Did you check for debris or a rough finish on the inside of the upper?

CrabbyMcNab · Jan 6, 2011

Yup.

It came out without a lot of force.

Apone,
I have a request. I am new to AR-15 building and didn't recognize all of the brands. This is a good general practice for all writing for public view. Spell out all the acronyms on first reference in the following style Rock River Arms (RRA) or Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT) makes it a he!! of a lot easier for the noobs to google.

I don't know a whole lot about ARs, but I know you can mix and match pieces. What part of the rifle is the "restricted" part? Thanks,

The lower receiver is the only part that needs to be registered. It is the part with the serial number.

Arcamm · Jan 23, 2011

Thanks Russ,

I was wondering because there is a guy in TN that is making an AR style competition air rifle that will fit any AR style lower. He supply's the upper and barrel, you supply what ever style lower/trigger you want to use. I figured that would make it a "restricted" weapon in Maryland.

This is great for a beginner like me. I just shot my friend's newly built AR and I'm hooked! I look forward to building my own shortly, just need to do some more research.

Worth the watch.

I didn't make it (that would've taken skill and knowledge)

, just passing it on.

drewhall · Feb 10, 2011

Was a good video, now I'm looking forward to the next ones. Good info there I'm sure most people don't think about.

sandbanger · Mar 6, 2011

Okay i read the posts, I am still confused, I got in on the group buy TSS is running (awesome!!) This will be my first build, and the first time Ive held an ar/m16 since the army. which mine was a POS when i was in, I figure maybe it wont suck if i build it

I want to keep the A2 carry platform and Im wondering what do you use? what would you reccomend. should i get a small length barrell and have it pinned to make it 16.1? Im just new to the whole build thing. Any help would be sweet. Can I truly mix and match with the lower?

jimmie2009 · Mar 10, 2011

Thanks for the info. I just bought a DPMS lower .308 and Im looking for an upper in a 16 to 24 length barrel that can shoot 7.62 and 308. Any suggestions. Im looking to build a hunting rifle to hunt coyotes in Pennsylvania and need something that can reach out and touch.
