Sold my RIA .45 and bought a G30 for duty use. I basic alley doubled the amount of ammo I can carry.

Saw one of these over the weekend at a local shop. Talk about increasing the amount of ammo. Just a little tough to CC though...

I'd look like some of your "guests"...pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a fool with my pants on the ground!

So I started building my own AR-15.

Here it is so far.
Lower receiver, parts kit, pistol grip, and butt stock

All put together

Spikes!!

bonjing · 09-12-2014, 11:09 AM

Added another to the 1911 collection. Only had it since July and sadly have to let this one go

cricky101 · 09-12-2014, 08:18 PM

I've been reading about the relatively new m&p 22 compact and think it'll be my next purchase. I carry a m&p shield and have been looking for a 22 pistol for a while.

Looking at a couple different uppers. Let me know what you think

I was playing around in the safe and pulled this one out. Need to take it out and blow the dust out of the barrel.

I like the Bushmaster and the stainless barrel one. The first one with the long handguard the least.
Bushmaster is 20". Nice marksman rifle, less for defense.
Not sure about that muzzle brake on the Veriforce.
Maybe the Arfcom with a smooth rail would be practical for defense.
I just saw that the first one has options for the rail length, the 9" would work well.
If you don't already have a 20" barrel they are nice to shoot with.
These kind of decisions is why I haven't built my next AR up yet.

I like the Veriforce but not the flash suppressor. Too big to be effective in my opinion.
If you go with a 20 inch barrel you should go for the AR-10 instead of AR-15. The 16 inch barrels produce good to great accuracy out to 300 yards. The 20 inch barrel in AR-10 will give good to great accuracy out to 1000 yards. Great for a weekend of sniper practice not very practical for self/home defense.

I NEED THIS!!!!!

I had a change to pickup one of those 9mm mini 1911 Star pistols a few years back. I missed out and never saw them for that price ever again. It was a steal and I'm bummed I didn't jump on it.

cigarmonkel · 09-18-2014, 09:51 AM

Earl I would recommend making your own upper receiver. It can be a little more costly then buying a premade one but you get EXACTLY what you want. Research (if you haven't) the different twist rates in the barrels. I highly recommend BCM www.bravocompanyusa.com they also have a new rail system which is insanely light weight. I have a daniel defense quad rail on mine and I wish I had waiting the 3 months to get the BCM rail cause its so much lighter. I'm currently running a 1/8" twist with a mid length gas system and DD quad rail, BCM BCG, gunfighter ami charging handle. Thing is a tack driver and it's also nice knowing that I did everything on the gun vs buying premades uppers/lowers.

Your spikes lower looks great though! I cheaped out and went with a DPMS for my stripped upper and lower.

Century Arms has them under C&R for $319.00 w/2 magazines and cleaning rod.

Spent all my cigar funds on this today but I got an insane deal

And this is my current build. I have the rest of the parts I just need to finish up. If you haven't heard of LBE Unlimited check them out. Have their BCG, Buffer Tube Assembly, and Barrel parts for this. Excellent quality and great prices. I'll post a completed pic when it is done.
