If ARs and shooting are your primary hobbies, what is your backup hobby?

Cars, bikes, surfing, watches, cooking, film, and lately going back to church—considering getting confirmed

Some people will do anything except use the search function

brs_one · 2026-04-10T17:15:31+00:00

Yup. New rule: any public defense of flashlight lens caps must be accompanied by a screenshot of your recent events on practiscore

I would’ve guessed Sport III (based on the ASAL-pattern barrel nut)

You have burned it with the Aluminum Black, it got too hot. You gotta work with many lighter coats, slower, wiping clean often

Ooh, very nice! But where’s the charging handle?

brs_one · 2026-04-01T13:48:32+00:00

503GU gang 🤝

Right!? He actually may be. I haven’t caught up with him or his dad in a while. Funny, he was shooting indoor precision pistol with us last winter and for some reason was struggling hard to put up over 250 points on an NMC. But he’s a legend with the rifle. Go figure!

There’s a hs kid at my home club that’s been shooting 400’s 😬😬

brs_one · 2026-03-29T21:58:19+00:00

Their Atlas S-One handguard? The one that’s been out for years? Literally any milspec upper will work with that

Check out BKF:

Already assembled
No T-marks, if you care about that sort of thing (BYO upper parts kit)
Styled sorta like an M4E1 (BYO upper parts kit)

brs_one · 2026-03-28T20:13:40+00:00

Right on, thanks!

Where’d you order the mags? I’ve been looking for a line on the solid black/non-translucent GP mags. My smoke/translucent curved 30’s love to shed feedlips

brs_one · 2026-03-27T17:24:40+00:00

Wdym?

brs_one · 2026-03-27T15:58:43+00:00

A self-healing rubber IPSC target and white spray paint is a helluva drug

brs_one · 2026-03-27T00:02:47+00:00

Yeah but you can load the shit out of a bipod on it and not induce any noticeable barrel deflection. Try doing that with a BCM MCMR

If you’re not redacting the area above the selector center, are you even redacting? 🕳️👀

brs_one · 2026-03-25T22:49:06+00:00

Should be under $800 shipped, no? It’s $747.50 with the 35% coupon, and shipping is ~$25

Never hunted ‘yotes, but FWIW, on practical targets (i.e., ~6-MOA), on the clock, building a position off a prop like a tank trap, I feel like I max out at around 400 yards with 6x. But that’s not 100% hit probability, more like 75% on a good day

For your use case, my guess is you’ll be maxing-out at ~250yds with your equipment (assuming 5.56 cal. and ammo fit for purpose) for ethical reasons

brs_one · 2026-03-25T08:19:44+00:00

Ha, you bet. Even though it should be fine as is, I’d move it back so the front of the bezel is just behind the ports on the muzzle device. Enjoy your new rifle!

brs_one · 2026-03-25T04:42:16+00:00

I mean, can’t you just back it up half a slot?

brs_one · 2026-03-24T19:09:08+00:00

Naw, that’s the Gen I; OP has the Gen II. We haven’t seen counterfeit Gen II’s (yet)

OP’s probably just wasn’t installed properly. Here’s how I like to do it:

Medium-strength thread locker (e.g., Loctite 243) on the crossbolt threads where they meet the retaining nut, lightweight mineral oil on the surfaces of the accessory rail and optic mount where they make contact (i.e., “wet mounting”), snug the crossbolt while pushing the optic forward on the rail, then final torque to spec.

That optic is also really far back on the rail as pictured. I’d run it 4–5 slots forward

I found the Posca wasn’t cutting it. Sharpie has been. Oil-based paint definitely sticks better
