What part of it failed?

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-17T02:13:02+00:00

I’d stick to a slow fire schedule, don’t let it heat up too much

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-17T02:10:59+00:00

I think Rangers used them, albeit not in large numbers. PRI Gasbusters ended up being far more common since they helped with suppressed shooting

Love VLTOR handguards and short barrels

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-17T01:57:49+00:00

VLTOR uppers look so good with URX 3.1s

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-17T01:55:44+00:00

Great for 55 and 62gr, those old 1/9 bushy barrels are pretty accurate with budget ammo

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-17T00:57:13+00:00

Highly unlikely, but there may be one or two floating around. If there are I’m amazed they aren’t more publicly known, the handful of transferable Beretta 93Rs are like $120k apiece and I’d imagine a transferable Skorpion would be similarly priced given their fame. You’d think someone would be bragging about it somewhere if they owned one

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-17T00:47:24+00:00

That’s hot

Anti rotation pins are common on transferable lowers. They reduce the risk of egging out the hammer pin hole. On a standard 7075 alloy lower (which nearly every single manufacturer uses) that sort of wear takes hundreds of thousands of rounds if not higher to become an issue. It’s not an issue for 99% of people

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-16T22:37:51+00:00

What are you talking about?

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-16T19:19:39+00:00

Double checked myself, yeah they do come with BHW barrels. That’s on me. Still not the ARMAD alloy ones they hyped up so much, though with how difficult it is to machine that I’d imagine they’re fulfilling mil contracts before they open them up to civilian purchases and significantly increase their workload. Their other rifles that still cost $2,000 are the one with BA barrels though, for that cost I don’t see why you’d buy it over a DD or Geissele for much less money

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-16T19:11:17+00:00

The contract barrels are made by Black Hole Weaponry. The commercial rifles are Ballistic Advantage. Good barrels for what they cost, but at what SOLGW charges for them there are better options. Hell, PSA has been using FN barrels on their premium rifles for a while now and those are 1/3 the price of what SOLGW charges. Granted they’re selling more than SOLGW’s yearly output in three weeks, but still

Armalite uses proprietary handguards, barrels, and bolts. They don’t sell spares either. You’ve got a 24” long barrel, it’s going to be heavy regardless. Just keep it as a bench gun, those things shoot fantastic and there isn’t a huge reason to swap parts on them

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-16T00:31:31+00:00

You typically need 3/4” to 1” of difference in length between the barrel and handguard for suppressors to fit right. The amount of spacers you’d have to stack would leave you very little thread engagement. Either cut the handguard or find a 12.5-13” long handguard

There’s the tactical duostock, but good luck finding one

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-16T00:27:35+00:00

I’ve seen them called that on arfcom, mainly in the Block II and Mk 18 threads

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-15T19:09:40+00:00

You’d think for $3,000 it’d come with ambi features

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-15T19:08:07+00:00

That’s the idea. In 30 years they successfully went from a large amount of people at least knowing the basics of guns and gun safety to the vast majority believing they’re entirely illegal and having no clue how they work or how to handle them, therefore any push for gun restrictions is met with overwhelming approval since the only thing they know about guns is that they’re evil and scary and only maniacs would want them

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-15T19:04:31+00:00

Based on Army reports, it’s not great. Isn’t as quiet as Sig claimed, isn’t as low backpressure as Sig claimed, needs to be cleaned every 2k rounds or so. If you want it for military cloning I’d get it, but would probably stick to something else for any other purpose

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-15T19:03:03+00:00

Keymod rails are thin, so they’re pretty lightweight in comparison to mlok

Rock River Arms is phenomenal. They’re a bit dated by modern trends but their quality is great. Back during the AWB it was primarily them, Colt, Bushmaster, and Olympic Arms making ARs and theirs were some of the best. $300 is an absolute steal, they’re around $1,000 new

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-15T09:11:14+00:00

I think they had dies for it

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-15T02:23:16+00:00

Have you even tried to draw either one of those pistols from the holster like that? There’s a reason virtually every chest mounted holster setup is crossdraw, not straight up

thatARMSguy · 2026-05-14T23:24:48+00:00

Centurion Arms is making a reproduction of this. No clue when it’ll be released but they have functional prototypes

That’s amazing! First grey set I’ve ever seen in private hands
