re: If you want to own an AR-15, you should build it

Not sure what Burge used, but I have a Fortis and got a gunsmith to grind down the standard front sight gas block so I wouldnt have to buy another piece. I think any quality low profile block will work though.

It's a build from scratch so I'll either buy the fortis one or a BCM low profile. Pretty sure I can't go wrong with BCM.

To prevent losing springs, put two hi back chairs at each end of a coffee table. Put a white towel on the coffee table. Hang a white sheet over you and the two hijack chairs like a tent. If a springs shoots out of your project, and it will at least once, you will easily find it and also see where it goes as well. fYI only. It worked for me.

That is a beauty!

Man I read your thread on m4, and what Fortis did for you...wow. to them

Wow man. Thats some awesome customer service. I still like the Samson rails, but that kind of service I would really consider those. That thread reads like the OT with guns. Its amazing what social media can do.

I was very selective on where I posted that picture, the ARetards on wilson combats facebook page (or really any firearms page on facebook) and on ar15.com just like to talk out their arse. m4carbine.net and lightfighter.net are about the best places to correspond with industry people and people who actually use their weapons.

Yea seems to be a lot of "experts" running around the internet.

I find ar15.com to be very informative. I learned there not to cover a muzzle brake/flash hider, or anything that pushes high pressure gasses out the sides, with a rail.

Seems to be a lot of pretentious dick heads running around that site. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a noob to ar15 platform. I didn't find them very inviting.

Just my .02

Just curious, did anyone(Fortis or M4carbine.net) mention not putting a rail around a brake/hider?

AR15 can give you a lot of info, but its also a lot of people that aren't really all that knowledgeable or they just regurgitate group speak. M4 and Lightfighter have more seasoned AR vets that sometimes just dont have the patience for people that don't learn the basics or do their research before they ask questions.
