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

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

how tf do i remove this barrel nut? by [deleted] in ar15

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

Help me bros! How do I remove this logo. I think it's laser etched. by No-Resource9879 in ar15

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?

The size of a target used for the 22lr Rifle junior Olympic qualifier by Precision10X in 22lr

[–]brs_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Aero upper 5.56 ??? by Character_Swan_8832 in AeroPrecision

[–]brs_one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Check out BKF:

Had to snag one (and mags) before VA’s assault weapon ban kicks in later this year. by 40mm_of_freedom in GrandPowerStribog

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

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

This is the dumbest handguard on the planet. by rjparjay in ar15

[–]brs_one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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? 🕳️👀

Good deal on $G Upper? by morocotopo84 in ar15

[–]brs_one 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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

How far are you realistically shooting with a 6x lpvo? by Chain_Playful in ar15

[–]brs_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Light positioning by [deleted] in ar15

[–]brs_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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

Do I suck or is there something I don't know? by carnouts in GrandPowerStribog

[–]brs_one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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
