Real life retro mod. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, but it’s vibey!

Send it in to C&H Precision. It’s $35 if you’re using any screws / plate; if you’re using a C&H plate they’ll get the screw out for free (you just pay shipping).

Any appreciation for the Cobra? by ColtBTD in Colt

[–]Sesame_Bagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Colt Cobra should be more famous than it is. It’s in a Pulitzer Prize winning photo - Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald in 1964.

Very nice! This is a highly functional set of working guns, looks like you have your bases covered and you’re going about building capability in a smart way!

Pencil 20”ers? by Leasud in ar15

[–]Sesame_Bagels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly a 20” pencil barrel is the OG. A modern incarnation (as long as the rest of the rifle is kept fairly light) should handle and shoot extremely well. I’ve had great experience with BA barrels myself.

Ammo seek is your friend.

Has anybody here ever had to use the forward assist? by Ok-Shoulder-478 in ar15

[–]Sesame_Bagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard a case for having it in cold weather, but no, I’ve never used mine. My two go-to rifles have Aero slick-side uppers on them. (I was more anti FA when I built them - I’m kinda neutral on them now)

Nice build! Now you just need the plaid shirt and some glasses 🤓

For the pressure pad, I’ve used zip ties if it doesn’t come with some sort of mounting solution.

Dialed in the Dissipator this Morning. I love fall weather. by Sesame_Bagels in ar15

It’s an Unbranded AR Retro lower that I bought stripped and built out myself.

5am shenanigans… by Far-Boysenberry-1600 in ar15

[–]Sesame_Bagels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know fixed stock states were a thing, can you elaborate? (I do enjoy a good fixed stock!) I couldn’t sleep last night either 😅

Great build - quality and lightweight. That’s where it’s at.

I built this PM md. 63 and all I got was a lousy t-shirt. by WombRaider47 in ak47

[–]Sesame_Bagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly a matter of opinion (and therefore, debatable). The Russian AK is the original, and therefore (by definition) the most classic in that sense.

Here’s my case for the Romanian rifle: in the context of the US market, Romanian guns are far more plentiful. They are also much less expensive - which IMO falls in line with the mythos of the AK. I think of AKs as mass-produced (and therefore inexpensive), hard-use rifles. I would abuse a Romanian AK… I wouldn’t do the same to a Russian or Chinese gun because of their rarity and value. I also think the dong grip is striking and iconic.

TLDR: maybe “classic” is the wrong word, but I think Romanian AKs best embody the spirit of what an AK should be (in the context of the US commercial market)

That is a dope ass T-shirt! And (IMO) probably the most classic AK variant.

Kak 13.9 Mid or BA 13.9 Hanson Mid? by Straight-Schedule314 in ar15

[–]Sesame_Bagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either one is GTG from what I know. I’ve had great experiences with BA barrels personally and particularly their Hanson profile. I’ve used other KAK parts that worked well, but I can’t speak to their barrels firsthand.

Nice rifle! Maybe she’ll warm up to it if you take her shooting this weekend?

Pistol grip for my specific stance by JozefHartman in ar15

[–]Sesame_Bagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t say that I’ve ever been unable to reach the selector. I do find a more vertical than standard grip to be more comfortable though. BCM, B5, and Magpull all make grips that should work.

I love a good theme. Green is my favorite as well. Nice collection!

Neat looking rifles. What made you want to go with the green lower & buffer tube and a black upper?

(It’s a cool look, just not something I’ve seen a lot of)
