This thread has certainly changed the way I view My AR collection and how I set up My GoTo Rifle. Higher Mounts and different sling set ups to name a few. KEEP THOSE IMAGES ROLLING IN! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DefenderAO: It's there best upper I've used. Accurate and built very solidly. It is my go-to brand now though hearing good things about Centurion. I will say the "suppressed only" Triarc has a .50 gas port size. It's so smooth. .50 Port Size...Good to know. I was thinking about building a 13-7 barrel out of a 14-5 Colt Blank I have. I wanted to runa Plan B setup and pretty much only ever shoot it with My Omega 300. Maybe I'll port it .50 to start... |

I think .50 would probably work well Suppressed, but probably not so well Un Suppressed. As I plan to run this particular Build exclusively Suppressed, it might just be perfect. If not, I'll jump up .05 at a time until I get consistently reliable results with the Plan B/ Omega 300 Setup. |

I believe that the Omega does have a smaller bore compared to most other .30 cal cans though, and is somewhat known for a little more back pressure. |

I’ve used both and prefer the reticle and clarity of the EOTech but the battery life of the Aimpoints allowing them to always be on makes them my choice for a HD rifle. If you gave me a 10min heads up I’d take the EOTech. I don’t want to have to remember to turn on my sight when a door gets kicked in or every night before bed. Just one more thing to go wrong. |

Many say it’s gassy but also designed for non suppressed. I believe Daniel Defense is .69. I think the non “suppressed only” 11.5 is like .67 or around there. I have no plans to ever shoot mine without a can so .50 is very nice. I’m using a JP Enterprise spring and buffer. Normal Non-semi BCG. And Triarc doesn’t come with an adj gas block which I’m very good with. |

EoTech shines in a .mil context where batteries and replacements are copious. If Aimpoint can make a 25-28mm “micro” I think, in part, it will be significant. But they need to do so under $1K. And people will still buy the MRO for American made aspect. I had a Triji SRS. I had a TA-11 with piggy backed Red Dot. I just prefer the Aimpoint micros for all applications outside of NODs and thermal pig hunting. |

Through this Thread, I have been influenced by many Items and Ideas that I simply would not have knowledge of have it not have been for seeing these ideas on screen. I look forward to an viewing upcoming images and hope to see an increase of Technical Information and Schematics. This could pertain to Your own specific Custom Builds, Semi-Custom or Factory Builds. All of this at Home Time has got Me tinkering and looking at all the individual items I have procured. And, for such a specific Platform and Purpose of Use, wow, We have all gone off a very fun and interesting Deep End. Ammo has also been a very hot topic. Possiby some have worries about ammo procurment currently. Where can I find it? Do I have enough?
I just had an interesting thought; I'm currently loading My range bag, loading mags, moving around ammo cans around the shop etc.. A question that has Us all interested occured to Me. How much ammo do I need? Or, more particularly, do I have enough ammo? As I am lugging this stuff around I just figured out exactly how much ammo I NEED. Exactly as much as I can personally carry, loaded out with whatever given materials I am also required to carry for a given situation. As it is, in fact, impossible for Me to utilize a single round more than I can physically carry at a given time. I think I have My answer. Certainly not nearly as much as I have. And definitely not nearly as much as I just simply want to own out of the pure joy of having AMMO! I love it. Hell, I love the amount of empties I have! But, mostly, I really fucking like to go shooting! I love shooting anything I can get my hands on, but, for Me the AR/M4, in all It's many variants just happens to be the most fun of all. I therefore, am going to continue with train almost as normal. I will increase Mag Change Drills (1 to 4 rounds per mag, bring 40-50 mags to the range), Left Handed and Long Range Training. Mainly, I'm not going to worry Myself out of the pure All American fun that is Range Time. The End. THIS WAS A GOOD YEAR

THIS WAS A GOOD YEAR That has always been my position and point when discussing how much is enough. People scoff at the idea, but almost everyone has it for SHTF/bug-out, not the last stand at the Alamo. I have always found it hilarious when people try to use this argument and claim you don’t have enough but their stuff is sitting in loose pack or on stripper clips. Having it because you got a good deal and like going to the range is one thing, but those who argue you don’t have 100x more than you can carry if you needed to get out in a hurry are kidding themselves. |

This is how I tend to prepare as well. I have 10 or 11 mags loaded up and stuffed into a 5.11 Bailout Bag (I think that’s the name of it). I also have a UW Gear 3 mag bandolier, a kydex ar15 single mag belt pouch and belt stuffed in there too. HD gun has a loaded 20 rounder in it. I think a single 20 or 30 rounder would be more than enough to fend off a curious coyote or a two legged critter home invasion. The bag is close by in the case of something more serious but highly unlikely (say a drive by shooting). The bag really is more of a survival sustainment pack; something I can grab quick that will have enough ammo to procure game with For years and use for self defense if I need to bug out to the country. I hope, but I doubt I’d survive long enough to blast through 2 mags in a gun fight much less 10. |

My go to do everything rifle. I have been shopping optics pretty hard, and don't know exactly
what I want to get. I like the Holosun reticle with the green circle dot, but I am not certain I trust it 100%. I might bust out for a real eotech, or maybe the Trijicon mro HD, but I am not sold on either of those as well. The one I really like is the acog 1.5, but IDK if I'll ever actually be able to get one. Rifle is a Colt 6920, bought when I first came to this site for advice. Streamlight protac, Cloud Defensive switch mount, and Magpul Pro rear sight, which IMO, is still a little stiff to raise and lower. Magpul STR, foregrip, MS4 sling, K2 SL grip, and battle steel forend with Magpul rail covers. Rifle balances great, can be shot one handed, and is zeroed at 100 yds, which is the max I can do in my area.  Attached File Attached FileApologies for potato quality pics. Phone camera is all I have. Rifle had some recent updates. Always a work in progress. |

 The one standing up would be my "go-to" AR. Plane Jane Geissele Super Duty with a Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-8.5 in a Warne QD mount, Troy backups, Cloud Defensive OWL and a Magpul MS1 sling. The only problem is it's pretty dang hefty... Do y'all think it would be worth it to swap out the OWL for the REIN or more traditional light setup to shave some weight? I really like LVPOs and greatly prefer them to any other optic (actually sold my 512 and PRO) but they come with the extra weight! I know the Bushnell is kind of a pig but I love it and would rather not swap it out. |

 Attached FileI place my faith in Universal Good Will and The Brotherhood of Man Universal Good Will is a first- generation S&W M&P9 FS, with Trijicon sights, a Surefire X300 light with DG switch, and is loaded with Winchester Ranger TA 127gr JHP, the +p+ load. The Brotherhood of Man is an 11.5 5.56 SBR, built on a Form 1 with a DSG Duty- Grade upper (Geissle mk8 fore-end and Ballistic Advantage 1:7 barrel), on an almost all- stock RRA lower, fitted with an Aimpoint T1 in Daniel Defense mount and Surefire Fury EAG in Arisaka offset mount, and Viking Tactics padded sling, and loaded with Hornady TAP T2 75gr OTM. The next upgrade is going to be to make The Brotherhood of Man be a lot quieter, once I get my Trumpbux. |

I have been looking for Geissele Green and Grey Lower & Upper Receivers for 5 months. All I found so far was a Geissele GCH in Grey. I really want a Geissele Green Lower and Grey Upper I have 2 FDE Lowers and 1 FDE Upper. IDK, at the time of the sale I just wasn't thinkiing about it and did not buy any Green or Grey. Now I have a build all planned, half the parts, AND NO RECEIVERS>>> Anyway, very nice Pics! |

Finally got My LMT finished with the addition of a 12-5 six8 SPC Barrel and FDE Illumination Tools. The new SF M340, with 200 degrees of rotation availabel in an M-Lok Mount is really nice. The SF Mount design certainly makes for a nice narrow profile. I believe this to be the most forward thinking design change SF has made to any of Their WML's in many years. This modernized version of the SF M-Series will be My choice of WML for both GoTo Rifles. I will be ordering an M640DF in black and another M340 in Black to mount up on the GoTo's soon. Hope You enjoy the images-

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By swampvol: Yes, the BCM 11.5" is ~.76, and mine is pretty gassy with a 5.56 can. A bootleg adjustable carrier really helps, but knowing what I know now, and never shooting the gun unsuppressed, I would have gone a different route even though I am a huge BCM fan. Tap your BCM gas block and stick a BRT insert in(Set screw with a hole in it) with whatever the hell size GP size you want. Not a big deal. Takes a few mins to do. Might even better as you'll have less erosion on the screw then the GP on the barrel. It's the same thing FN does with the SCAR. I'm a big fan of the Bootleg adjustable carrier. I like my 11.5's to run un suppressed if needed and I'll choke them down from there with the Bootleg. Even though all 3 of them have dedicated cans. All are running around .067 Gas port set screws w/ bootlegs. My old BCM included. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M-4matus: Thanks Brother, I have too. It has turned exactly how I had hoped...Tons of pis of BA AR's and a lot of great information. This thread has certainly changed the way I view My AR collection and how I set up My GoTo Rifle. Higher Mounts and different sling set ups to name a few. KEEP THOSE IMAGES ROLLING IN! Really an awesome thread. Sling setup is definitely one thing I need to look at. I'm still on deployment (be home in a few weeks 🤘🏻) but when I was home on leave, my sling would get in the way of reloads a lot at the range. Need to figure that one out as, with the addition of a DBAL and dual switch on the top rail, I don't have a lot of real estate left on my rail   (Don't think it's a dupe pic but sorry if it is) |

I’d get something like the Edgar Sherman sling which will cut down on the possibility of snagging. |

I like it but it is wide and it can be hard to grab the slider when wearing kit. I've been looking at getting either the Ed Sherman or a Slingster. |

I like Halely Strategic Slings, I but them bare ended and do what works for the situation. Most end up with a QD Swivel on one end and get perminatley affixed to my SOPMODS |

I don't have one yet, but it's on the short list for my 12.5". I will move the M600 currently on there over to the SPR. Beautiful build man. It really needs a sopmod stock

It really needs a sopmod stock @ForestRegion - Yeah Brother, highly recommend the new SF M-340C and M-640DF. I was able to set mine in such a perfect position. In the image below One can see the evolution in mounting systems from oldest to newest in terms of "Modern WML Mounting Systems" and how the WML Mount has made weapon profiles smaller. This evolution has helped in terms of ergonomics and ease of installation/removal. As I briefly mentioned above, I'm switching out all My SBR/AR Pistols w/ SF M-340C's, all My AR Carbines and Rifles are getting new M-640DF's. I believe there are a few companies that have made a name producing accessory mounts for the SF M Series WML over the past several years that are now obsolete. The new M-3/640 lights are VERY NICE and certainly do not require any secondary components to produce the perfect fixture point for any WML. In the bottom two images One can see that the new Surefire M-340c coupled w/ a Steiner D-BaL measures in at under 3 1/8" where as the almost same setup measures in at just under 3 7/16'' when utilizing an SBR Mount.    |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By JinNTonic: The form factor of those lights look nice! How is the durability of those swivels- do the lights move if bumped around? @JinNTonic Not that I have seen. It has a very positive locking screw on the front of the pivot point and the threaded side is a steel insert, which I like. I think believe due to the steel insert it will be completely sound for many years of use. |

No experience with this mount BUT I’ve used the older M76 mount for years without issue. This newer mount design looks even better than my M76. |

They had a lot of trouble with their DDC finish during the 2019 BF cluster. I assume they are trying to get the finish consistent, catch up on orders/resupply...you might see them come back for the sale in May, but don't expect to get it before June. |

Yeah, I have several Geissele items on My list. All have been out of stock since the BF Sale. I would agree with FR, Geissele will most likely not have a complete restock until the Summer. That being said, I would post a WTB add for one. Someone will respond. Many People bought in bulk. I Personally had 3 FDE RE's. Used 2 and traded 1. I have seen a lot of Colt Green RE's for sale lately, not that that helps... |
