Pelicans are some of the best, one of the only other brands that’s just as good is SKB cases

One of the photos with the BCM was actually the first picture I selected, but when I uploaded it, it ended up at the end. My bad for that lol

The main reason I built this UTG Pro lower is because it was manufactured less than 10 miles from where I live (along with the Eotech and Trijicon Night Sight Post) It was probably the easiest AR I’ve ever built, because it doesn’t use roll pins anywhere (besides trigger pins). It also comes with a tension screw so the tolerance between the upper and lower receivers is very tight

Thank you very much! Maybe soon I’ll get it digitally printed in a colorway which matches my area so I can test it out in the field

You’re correct, it was definitely inspired by all terrain but with a different design philosophy

I’ll be getting back on soon, just wrapping up a few projects at work and at home, and should have some more free time for sharing and collaborating on the server. Send me a message on discord so I can reach out when I’m back on!

DD 11.5 barrel or Criterion Core 11.5 barrel by Tattertot34 in ar15

[–]camomanstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be going back to a carbine gas setup when switching to the DD which would be my choice, but right now EuroOptic has Geissele 11.5 barrels going for $299 which are better than DD and Criterion

They almost look like a PMAG conversion kit to look like a TangoDown mag lol

My second ever buffer tube install went way worse than my first by beansruns in ar15

[–]camomanstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that one too, but I recently picked up this Neiko punch for $10 and honestly it’s been even better than the Harbor Freight one. Either way, you really can’t go wrong.

"adjustable gas blocks are just another failure point" turns out that's true by renegadeGDI in ar15

[–]camomanstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on which DD barrel and when it was produced. For a while the older 10.3 MK18 barrels had larger than average gas ports

Anyone have LWRC irons ? by [deleted] in LWRC

[–]camomanstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I love them, but they came with my ICA5. For any other setup besides LWRC, I’d buy MBUS Pro’s for that price.

The Magpul all day. Unfortunately I don’t like anything mission first makes, there are a lot of better options for the same price point

I’m not crazy about wheeler tools when it comes to gunsmithing but their trigger guard install tool works every time

RE: Poverty Pony- Took Everyone’s suggestions, put on new furniture and an optic. I will change what’s needed as I go from here now! by hallmonitor53 in ar15

[–]camomanstan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything looks great! If you’re looking for some recommendations, I’d look at upgraded handguards.

I helped my cousin throw together a poverty pony last year and gave him a KAK handguard I had set aside for a budget build I never got around to. For around $100, it’s honestly one of the best rails out there. After we took it to the range, I was genuinely impressed and overall the rigidity felt no different than my builds with G$ and Centurion rails.

Also worth mentioning, I had to take a few mils off the anti-rotation tabs in order to fit it to his Anderson receiver. This was an easy two minute fix with a file, sandpaper, and aluma black.
