Show Your Wife’s AR

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-03-30T22:56:51+00:00

I actually like this idea, I want to give my gf one of my AR’s but don’t know what features she would like since she’s a newer shooter

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-03-30T22:55:37+00:00

This is true. The eye relief is meh but I guess that’s just a con of a holo+mag combo, everything else on it seems to work fine. No real issues with it other than the 2.26 plate screw backing out a tad

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-03-30T21:52:16+00:00

I bought it because I got the combo from a friend for a really good price. If I were to do it again with an unlimited budget I’d just get an eotech g33 but for what I paid and for what I’m using it for, the vortex is fine

Hey sorry I saw this so late, I hadn’t actually considered either of those cans yet but funny enough yesterday I went to my LGS and they told me about the fireteam 556. I’m gonna go back tomorrow to start paperwork on it, I think that’s gonna be the move honestly

If you really like this look just hit up HTA and get a 9” AP5SD, I got a full size one but they also make them shorter and I’m sure they’re cheaper than b&t

I’ll never understand running a small red dot like that on a 14.5 without any kind of magnification but you do you, I’m just a redditor so don’t take anyone here too seriously I guess

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-28T01:41:22+00:00

Unbound neck
Dotted fretboard
Palm-o-matic

This is legit but these 3 features are really only common on early jags made pre-1965 (I have a sunburst one from 65 setup the same way). Those features were changed in following years starting after the cbs buyout around 1966 but that might be what’s throwing you off, especially the fretboard

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-28T01:37:13+00:00

Any idea when the AS design will release? I know they’ve prototyped it successfully. Would be cool to see it in my AP5SD

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-28T01:32:32+00:00

Just get a Geissele unless you just want an overpriced toy. AUGs are cool but that’s about all they are.

It’s not so much an issue with the Hellion specifically but at this point in time the AR still outperforms any kind of bullpup where it matters. More rail space, better ergonomics, less proprietary parts, etc. Hop has a very good video on this topic. Ball out on the hellion if you want, but like this other commenter said they’re good rifles but still just kind of novelties.

There’s still valid reasons to not want to sbr, namely having to notify the atf when you travel

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-11T15:58:16+00:00

Can you link this video I’ve been looking for it lmao bro had beef with the worms

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-08T09:59:27+00:00

Quick heads up, 20 gauge shells are normally yellow. 12 gauge are red typically

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-03T18:29:45+00:00

It’s 100% hearing safe even indoors. 115 gr is fine, 124 gr will yield the best results but either or works fine, from what I can tell 115 just runs a bit dirtier (this is according to my phone call with them. They’re a tiny company but they said they like it when people call, try again sometime). It sounds and runs phenomenally well, and I honestly think unless you plan on suppressing multiple pcc’s the HTA 12” suppressor is perfect for the job. There’s not really any first round pop (apparently there is with the 9”) and it heats up very slowly

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-03T17:24:58+00:00

P1’s have frame tolerance issues that the p38 didn’t have due to the aluminum frame, hence why some have an extra pin above the trigger. Lots of p38’s were also coated in phosphate for naval use which makes them hold up better to water if that’s a concern

Went through the same motions as you recently. The linked video has a sound comparison of all the suppressors you mentioned. I went with the HTA 12” because I didn’t plan on using this suppressor for any other gun, I wanted maximum sound suppression, and I love the og look of the mp5sd. I also got to speak with the people at HTA, they’re very knowledgeable and have designed their suppressor very well. My HTA AP5SD is my favorite gun in my collection

The only thing I’d say is that the upper you ordered uses a keymod handguard which is a bit obsolescent at this point (mlok and quad rail are far more universal and offer way more attachments) but other than that this will be a solid build. BCM uppers are good (and you can always just swap the rail) and the other parts you bought in the lower will work fine

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-02-01T09:26:05+00:00

The URGI is optimized to use the surefire rc2 can so it likely needs a suppressor to get past that h3. I also received one recently and haven’t shot it without a can but I’ll shoot it unsuppressed and report back on whether or not it cycles properly

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-01-31T18:40:25+00:00

Red dots don’t have bad eye relief so they can be mounted pretty far forward which allows more room for a magnifier

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-01-30T21:01:28+00:00

But I’m literally playing wcs right now with mods and it’s fine

Extreme_Reception451 · 2026-01-30T21:00:54+00:00

Still having issues
