Of course you can get a better rifle for $1500 over a PSA assuming you are implying that I used PSA parts on the rifle I built which I did not. And that's exactly what I was implying as most people do just that....shoot paper. What makes you think a 10.5" AR will run unreliably with the suppressor? Something you read on the internet or personal experience? The suppressor will be run on multiple different caliber guns, which is how I'm justifying the price on buying it instead of just buying a dedicated suppressors for each.

I'm nodding to the fact that if you're going to get better quality parts, why bother with a PSA lower in the first place? I don't think Aero is much more expensive and it's significantly better from a QC perspective.

The reliability issues with a can are from experience and I'm not saying you will definitely have problem, I'm saying likely to. Back pressures from cans cause a multitude of reliability issues and a "one size fits all" can is only going to fuel that fire. I'm not trying to hate on you trying to save money for your needs, i'm trying to suggest looking further into it before you buy something that does everything, but very poorly. If you're talking about buying a 30 cal can to run with 7.62 and 5.56 you'll be able to make it work, but the new modular suppressors are not worth the money (Optimus/Hybrid/Omega M).

If they're qc was so bad they'd be out of business.

Shit the lowers Geissele stamp their logo on are trash qc. Pretty sure they don't make them. Wouldn't even be surprised if they were Anderson.

-Of course they stay in business, because 90% of the people who buy them don't shoot them enough to break them and when they do everyone just smiles and nods because PSA 1 for 1 ships replacements at lighting speeds

-Saw a slew of Geissele lower pics and they were shit, but it was only after they shipped 4-6 months later hahaha

Bingo

But I would go further and say 99.9% of AR owners aren't guys who stack bodies. This is why I don't not recommend PSA. Great platform for the weekend range visitor who brings 3 mags to slowly spend and 1 more to dump. Hell I love shooting and I still can't get out enough to warrant much more than that.

Yeah so I have already started a new build lol. Building a Mk18 pistol. I have everything except what is forward of the receivers atm
Click to expand...

Sick, I have another andersen lower I'll be building a pistol with. Wanted to finish the rifle build first. Plan on doing a 10"ish barrel for the pistol, 7's are too loud imo and I personally prefer the 10". I can update my rifle part build list if anyone is interest. It's pretty budget, got everything for killer deals. Pistol will be higher quality build. I already have a few complete AR's and felt like building a cheapish one.
 
Just finished this cheapo build ($450 minus optic) Andersen lower, radical upper, aero lower parts kit, aero BCG, radian charging handle, bcm buffer tube/spring, magpul stock and grip)

Only reason I went keymod is because the complete upper was on sale for like $130 ha.

Anybody got any good recommendations for an offset picatinny red dot mount? I'm not liking my FastFire directly on top of my LPVO so I wanna try canted. T.REX Arms was gonna be my go-to but it turns out their mount doesn't accommodate the footprint standard of the FastFire 3

Edit: I want the mount to fit the picatinny on my gun. I'd prefer that the attachment of the sight to the mount is direct, rather than the mount having its own picatinny rail and having to attach the sight with an adapter.

I'm looking for something like this:

Rather than this, which is bulkier:

Here ya go -https://arisakadefense.com/products/offset-optic-mount

I have an arisaka mount for my surefire m300 light and like it.
 
Cute lil family portrait:

Savage 111 7mm w/ a Nikon P-tactial MK1-MRAD scope, also replaced the mount rings because the stock ones are garbage.

Remington 783 270 WIN w/ stock scope. Figured I should have a smaller rifle as well, and it was a good deal.

I scored a 22'' cut down barrel of Ebay so I can convert my Wingmaster into a HD Shotgun. Looks pretty classy if I may say so myself.962004.jpeg

I’m just bought a Kel Tec CMR 30 and a PMR 30 (I can’t pick them up until Friday).

pretty stoked about having a rifle and pistol in .22WMR with interchangeable mags. Planning on cutting the barrel of the CMR to 10.5” and putting a silencer on it.

I think so but i havent adjusted it.

Okay, mine is a little older and doesn't have it, seems pretty cool though. I'm still adjusting to shooting the 7mm, the recoil is quite a bit.

Check out Limbsaver recoil pads. They really do a good job to soften the recoil. I put one on my shotgun and it made followup shots much quicker.

Sick, I'll look into it. I can deal with it prone, sitting, or kneeling, but standing and shooting it almost causes me to "bounce" or push off my back foot?

I'd like to buy a hunting rifle this year. I'm most interested in getting something versatile that I could give my son one day. Thinking 300 win mag or 270 win perhaps. Any thoughts boys? I'm not very experienced in hunting, but the folks who I'll be learning from are very much so and I'm working hard to get out there this year as much as possible.

What are you hunting? Learning on a 300 could teach you pretty bad habits, the 270 has less of a kick imo. I think i it really depends on the game you’re going after. I have a 7mm for elk, but also a 270 which I’ll use for deer.
 
Elk and deer are what I’d like to go for most often, but I put in for lots of stuff in the draw. I’m comfortable with firearms, hunting not so much. Seems like a 270 would cover most of what I want unless I get lucky and pull a moose one year/gain enough points. Would you agree?

270 gets the job done. I have plenty of friends who use it as their one and done rifle. Mine is much lighter than my 7mm, it makes hiking around a lot easier which is nice. I think the 270 is more than enough— works from elk to pronghorn.

Sounds like what I'm looking for then, and thoughts on what to look for? I'd like something I don't feel like replacing in a few years.

I prefer any bolt action, synthetic is just fine. I find they have a better grip in shitty conditions. I have a Savage and a Remington, been pretty impressed with both of em. The Tikka T3 is pretty sick too.

Randy Newberg has solid advice on all this:

+1 for the Tikka T3

I have a Tikka T3 Lite stainless and love it. Very accurate, incredibly smooth bolt, comfortable stock.

Dustin, if you want something to hand down to your son in the future I'd get something in a nice wood stock. I think those are more aesthetically pleasing and more unique. No two wood stocks are the same. Synthetic is just basic plastic. All the same, nothing unique about them. My lite is synthetic, but any future bolt I get will be wood (unless im chassising out some build).

With all that in mind- Tikka T3 Hunter in .270. Or a T3 Forest if you're mounting a big tall scope.

However, the classic Remington 700 is probably the benchmark of a good rifle.

Also, my dad has a Ruger M77 Mountain Rife and that might be one of my favorite rifles.
 
I feel like posting setups and talking about what heat youre packing these days is almost as fun as shooting your boys down at the range.

i like oiling my Bolt on my savage alot.

it doesnt simply glide like a tikka but i can get it pretty smooth.
