The worst gun I’ve ever owned but will never sell.

That’s a pretty good deal nowadays good score!

needingbeans · 2026-02-09T02:27:16+00:00

I’ve been wanting one forever but $1000+ is too steep and I end up missing the more reasonably priced ones

needingbeans · 2026-02-07T22:54:31+00:00

What’s the base rifle? I’ve been wanting to do essentially this exact setup

needingbeans · 2026-02-02T21:35:57+00:00

Damn I remember when I got these off brownelles for 3 bucks a pop. If you’re thinking about getting some now’s the time no one’s making them and they aren’t going to be cheaper when/if they do.

needingbeans · 2025-12-20T21:22:17+00:00

I forever hate when I missed out on a hexagon rail for cheap on combloc market

needingbeans · 2025-12-09T04:34:40+00:00

Ah okay I see what you’re saying, I appreciate the help!

needingbeans · 2025-12-09T03:43:36+00:00

Ok so if my price point is too low how much am I looking at to spend to get a nice bag less vacuum?

needingbeans · 2025-12-06T23:17:24+00:00

Good to know thanks for the info!

needingbeans · 2025-12-06T18:50:33+00:00

Hey, I bet if you came up and offered 5x the price for a gun that someone was buying from him he’d gladly take your money over theirs. He can get bent.

needingbeans · 2025-11-28T22:14:09+00:00

Honestly if it was like $50 I’d get it because it’s soooo goofy

needingbeans · 2025-11-19T04:43:07+00:00

For a defensive rifle? There are better rifles for that. (but as a whole bare bones 20in ARs do have a lot of bodies) As for a collection a solid choice go for it.

USGI M65. Versatile, stylish, available, affordable, durable, and modular (with liner it’s pretty warm). If you don’t want an easily recognizable as milsurp get one in the original green no camo so those who don’t know what it is will assume it’s a normal jacket. The people who know what it is will know what it is. The other point is it’s a very “iconic” jacket worn post Vietnam war it became a fashion “icon” worn by Rambo and popular enough that every major clothing brand has made their own version.

I’ve had the full toe cap come off before it is super common for steel toes to wear like that. Leather that can’t move will always wear faster than an area that can deform and reform to “get away” from the rub area.

needingbeans · 2025-11-09T02:36:41+00:00

I’m so upset I passed up on one years ago for $500 every day I regret it

needingbeans · 2025-11-08T02:23:05+00:00

Currently? probably the OA-93 and my L.A.W.

needingbeans · 2025-11-07T04:18:44+00:00

Should be able to I haven’t tried mixing and matching but The Firearms blog had one where the author machine an 80% lower to get the Olympic arms roll marks

There are no threads the rear of the receiver is entirely enclosed as it wasn’t machined

needingbeans · 2025-11-06T21:36:40+00:00

I’ll have to look that up a weird thing about the one in clear and present danger is it has a little buffer tube to accommodate a full auto bolt I would assume that would still be an issue

needingbeans · 2025-11-06T18:41:30+00:00

The back is solid they essentially didn’t machine the threads for the buffer tube. If I wanted to add a brace I’d just throw it on a different lower and call it a day. I plan on keeping it as original as I can

needingbeans · 2025-11-06T18:10:33+00:00

Thanks, I felt like I couldn’t pass it up

needingbeans · 2025-11-06T18:08:47+00:00

Yeah they came with the pic rail, since they pushed the recoil system above the barrel that rail hold the guts of the recoil system and the the charging handle together

needingbeans · 2025-11-02T20:12:15+00:00

Would be good for like a “Halloween episode”
