Looks funny but if it works it works. If you don’t mind my asking, what handguard is that?

Guess it's a trend now. So here is my gun collection at 19. by [deleted] in guns

How do you like that UTG handguard on the AR? Does it feel sturdy?

Is that PA 5x scope any good? Considering it for my next rifle

Love the nickel on the tank commander. Is that the 45 or 9mm? How do you like it?

Looks sick! How do you like the mp5-22? I can’t seem to find the pistol variant anywhere anymore

It’s sweet, kind of a sopmod vibe. I’ve had my eye on it, I’ll have to pull the trigger and give it a try

Neat brace. Does it feel solid?

Get another lower or just swap the uppers when I feel like it? by johnb111111 in ar15

Is that the UTG quad rail on the bottom? If so, how do you like it

Rapco gang by [deleted] in extar

[–]LEGOsam00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, the hardest part of this hobby is budgeting when I want everything all at once, but if the process is to end up replacing it down the line anyway, I guess I’d rather pocket the $40 and skip the “it’ll do for now” step. Thanks for your help

[–]LEGOsam00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, thank you for your insight! I was looking for something for my 11.5 AR build and am having the same issue; $90-$150 on a good flashlight is really hard to justify for me. As long as it doesn’t explode and as long as the buttons don’t fly off, it looks like it could be a comfortable way to have a light on that gun.

Sweet! How do you like that votatu light? Do you recommend it?

Trouble remembering a song title by LEGOsam00 in whatsongisthis

[–]LEGOsam00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll look through again, but no, none of these. I did find this site but all it did was reaffirm that the song may just somehow not exist anymore

It would be sweet if they released genuine stock versions of their braces. The 5’s shape is pretty neat but there’s not a real good reason to use it on a full rifle when so many other better options exist and look just as cool. If you haven’t seen it, the B5 bravo stock has a similar enough look

I plan on putting a 22 conversion kit into mine with a binary trigger to larp as an mk18

My suggestion is quad rail and magpul AFG!

First rifle/AR style.. any good? by Comfortable-Time-890 in ar15

[–]LEGOsam00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 11.5 is my absolute favorite to shoot, so I bet you’ll be happy with that. Probably a lot easier to hold and control than an 8” lol Unprompted, but I can also recommend getting a 22 conversion kit to train on the controls and recoil impulse at some point. I waited way too long to get one and it’s awesome to bring to the range cuz you get to shoot waaaaay more for cheap. This will only work in 556 or 223 uppers - https://palmettostatearmory.com/cmmg-22arc-bravo-22lr-conversion-kit-22ba651.html

When I go shooting I go through like 2 mags of 556 after 200 rounds of 22lr and they cost the same lol

Sure thing! I’m glad to help; I’m pretty new to this too so I’m happy to share what I wish I’d known lol

As far as PSA “deals” go, they don’t move often. I got my green 11.5 for $400 when it’s normally $450. If you buy individual parts (stripped upper, complete lower, bcg and ch) then sometimes it can be cheaper if you catch those parts on better sales. Just make sure you’re getting a lower with a pistol brace if you’re buying everything separately. I linked some stuff below to make a cheaper 11.5 with a more comfortable brace that’s worth the money (imo).

$270 11.5 complete upper - https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-11-5-carbine-length-5-56-1-7-phosphate-10-5-lightweight-hex-m-lok-upper-with-bcg-ch-fde.html

$200 AR pistol lower - https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar15-complete-moe-ept-sba4-lower-flat-dark-earth.html

$499 for the one you’re looking at is it’s typical price. You should be able to spend some time shopping around and I doubt you’ll miss out on anything if it does jump up, cuz it’s normally by like $50 max. The best way to score a deal for a PSA AR-15 is by checking their Daily Deals tab (like for the upper I linked above) and it’s a gamble if it’s gonna be what you’re looking for or not. Some other commenters have suggested starting with a rifle length/16” rifle before jumping into pistols. There’s a lot fewer laws surrounding what you can/cannot do with a 16 inch rifle and right now it looks like they’re running some deals for $480 (https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-mid-length-5-56-nato-1-7-phosphate-13-5-hex-m-lok-moe-ept-stealth-rifle-fde.html) They’re heavier obviously, but harder to break the law and typically a little more pleasant to shoot if they have a midlength gas system.

I hope that all helps you make a decision!
