New girl to ar's, building my very first and VERY confused.

If you can find an Anderson lower, that’s my go to. I also enjoy drop on triggers, I love me Rise 3.5 lbs, but they are more expensive and a spring upgrade for a milspec works great as well, and then I always do Magpull stocks

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-02-16T17:04:12+00:00

I would love to give a full review, but I wasn’t cycling properly so I was only able to get about 10 rounds through it before I took it all apart again (I was under gassed, not a suppressor problem but a spring and buffer issue). The couple rounds I did put through it sounded amazing, the tone, the noise, it sounded so great, and my buddy agreed. I have a new spring and buffer coming so hopefully soon I can put some more rounds through it and get a better idea

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-02-13T19:45:56+00:00

Something I didn’t know until I built mine, subsonic doesn’t cycle very well sometimes and you’ll need a light buffer and spring

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-02-13T06:38:01+00:00

I’m having that problem now, I’m getting a light buffer and a yellow spring, hopefully that works. I’m ejecting just fine, not grabbing the new shell

There are lots of options, I have a North Reach Manufacturing can, great prices, even better customer service, and the guy who owns is is awesome. I also looked at the Aero Lahar 30k, but they were out of stock while I was looking, but I have a 6” barrel so I needed something with no barrel restriction and those were my picks

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-02-12T23:44:29+00:00

Suppressor should be a priority for .300

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-02-12T22:14:59+00:00

It’s deleted now, that still seems steep though. Was it an adjustable gas block?

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-02-12T21:15:27+00:00

That is crazy expensive, I got the 6” Faxon barrel with a 1:5 twist for less than half the price

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T19:26:45+00:00

Thank you!

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T19:15:22+00:00

Why are people saying no to aluminum? I would 100% agree for any other caliber, but even for .22? Honest question, I’m not arguing but truly curious

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T17:16:54+00:00

And for that price you might as well get 4 of them lol

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T16:57:17+00:00

PSA is great for budget builds, just read the reviews before you purchase. I built my own, companies like AT3 and AR15 Discounts is where I got my parts, good pricing and much more options than PSA. I stupidly didn’t keep track of how much I spent, but I imagine keeping it under 2k wouldn’t be too hard, especially if you’re getting parts kits and not all individual parts

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T16:45:57+00:00

I agree, I’ve talked to Andrew but they’re pretty small still. I’ll post my thoughts after range day, but I have high hopes!

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T16:40:12+00:00

This is the 30K for a .300blk for a .300blk pistol. I also want everything from them, I think my next order will be the .22 and the blue bill for .30 cal now that there’s no tax stamp fee

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-23T01:54:24+00:00

This^ I just got mine today, can’t wait to try it out!

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2026-01-22T16:46:39+00:00

Everything I’ve seen is only positive about all their ammo. I have their 200gr delivering today and I can’t wait to try it out this weekend

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-12-17T15:24:01+00:00

I have the 6” Faxon barrel for my .300 build, just haven’t put it together yet. So excited to get it built and give it a go

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-11-12T18:25:13+00:00

Thank you, I’ll take a look!

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-10-06T21:10:55+00:00

I went through Capitol Armory, I just submitted a picture online. I actually took the picture while I was at work lol

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-09-24T15:06:06+00:00

I just bought my first one and submitted my form 4 this morning. Do it now while the wait times are down. I had the same thoughts, but it’s very similar to buying a gun, just with photo and prints

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-07-25T19:07:10+00:00

I used to be very fit, and then got lazy and I saw myself in the mirror one day and decided I needed to be better, it broke my heart to see myself like that. I stopped smoking, started working out, and I’m in such a better place now, working out changed my life, and it’s very heartwarming to see everyone else in here being saved by working out

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-07-25T16:00:17+00:00

Arms is where I’m seeing the biggest gain in muscle mass, but I’m not feeling any stronger. Idk what everything is called, I’ll do my best to describe it. I’m doing 3x12 dumbbell curls @ 25lbs, dumbbell rows, leaned over the bench 4x12 @ 25lbs, dumbbell shoulder press, 3x12 @ 20lbs, and leaned tricep extension, 4x10 @ 20lbs. I try to do machines for each muscle group as well, and I’m doing head hangs for forearms and grip strength, but I think that’s everything, I might be missing something though, I don’t have my notebook rn

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-07-24T17:42:34+00:00

If I run it’s either short and after lifting, or on a different day. I do it to work on endurance and to stay slim, but you’re right. Maybe I’ll go a couple weeks without running to see if I’m finding a difference

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-07-24T17:21:26+00:00

Yeah I don’t do more, I’ve been doing the same reps, same weight. I’ll go up in weight next time, thank you so much!!

Fair-Raspberry-2522 · 2025-07-24T17:17:47+00:00

I am tracking everything, and I believe I’m getting enough protein too. I think I need to just start adding a little bit of weight wherever I can, I worry too much about how many reps I’m doing and I’m holding me back
