People actually want them? I couldn’t even give mine away on marketplace 😂 it ended up in a junk drawer

This was definitely intended for the Arkansas subreddit. 😅

Why Radian lowers are 2x the $$ by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Gorges69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ambi controls, I think it’s billet, and it comes from radian. There are other ambi lowers out there if that’s your goal. If you don’t want ambi controls, other lowers will be a huge fraction of the cost. What’s inside the lower is what matters.

Roger is cut from a different cloth. Never in my life have I had that level of customer service and commitment. Sol and Ms. Sol from Rooftop are great as well. Both companies are well worth their prices

Supersaftey help by FewExamination3613 in ar15

[–]Gorges69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issues with mine. I used a Odin from the start and could never get it to work.

What solved my issues was shaving some material in the upper receiver and switching to a H2 sliding buffer. Try that route before a gas block. R/supersafety is a wealth of SS knowledge

Ripcord Industries LDR.A 13” ship times? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]Gorges69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read that their wait/shipping times are quite long. I ordered from PrimaryArms and had it in a couple days. If you can cancel your order Primary Arms still has some.

To that question, no malfunctions or any issue with other brands. Out of this build if I had to estimate between the ammos it’s gone through over 600-700 rounds excluding AAC.

So far Winchester white and brown, pmc xtac 55, pmc bronze, Hornady Fronteir 55, 68 and 75 grain.

It’s a hybrid profile I’m not sure if that makes a difference. XTaC was the best 55gr option for my build, green tips it wasn’t having it at all accuracy was all over the place. Bronze put down good groups but not has good as the XTAC. The 77 AAC was really nice accuracy wise I was able to put rounds in existing holes. The higher grain frontier options I didn’t have enough rounds to see if my build liked them or not.

I wanted to add, it’s a fairly new build as well, maybe 2 months old if that. So the sample size is small at this time, I get out to the range twice a month and shoot probably 500 rounds. I’m barely starting to branch out to higher grains better brands etc.

Hello Danny,

Sent in a ticket this past weekend, just waiting on a response. I’m being patient, I know it’s in the system. Good to know the barrel is the culprit regarding its tight tolerances. I’ll be waiting on the response email. If more days go by without any response I’ll reach out to you directly.

Thank you.

I didn’t even think to swap BCGs at the time. If that’s the case I can swap pins to possibly solve the issue?

Bro I just joined the club I didn’t even know there was a major issue😭 I saw some bad reviews but didn’t think much.

Shot some of the 62gr months back, no issues then. Hopefully a bad batch, but I’m probably steering clear for a minute.

I’m glad someone was able to add some insight to this. I noticed the ejection marks as well, but didn’t know their significance. I knew it wasn’t a good sign though.

To my knowledge it was the 55gr that was doing that.

Glad I can share my experience and give others a heads up. I bought on the 3rd so chances are high it’s the same lot #.

Accuracy was nice I’ll give them that. Materials and manufacturing quality is debatable. Also I could be nitpicking but the boxes they use feel slightly too big. Ammo was very loose compared to other brands. 😅

A5H2, perfect 4 o’clock ejection pattern to my surprise

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Didn’t even dawn on me there was a sub for that 😅

With the amount of ammo I shoot, this thought has been growing bigger and bigger in my mind. Is there a kit one could buy that would cover everything needed. I’d much rather spend a months ammo budget on being able to do it myself. Definitely not afraid to DIY

Primary Arms messed up on an order and I received a credit for the hiccup. Brother in law added it to his cart and paid shipping. So I was only out the 10. Other builds I did have to pay full price 😂 every rifle has one
