re: Official AR-15 thread

for 300 blk supers the Barnes Tac-TX 110 gr are suppose to be really good.

If you want to get real bastardly, Tar Heel State will engrave the Colt horse logo on it for you.

I never use Reddit but it pulled through with that m5 rail. I got it a full set of covers the broom handle for 200

Suppressors - best brands and what to expect. Do I need any special attachment for the end of the barrel.

I would suggest getting a 30 cal can. You can always use it for any round less than 30 cal. Silencerco makes good stuff. Look at the omegas. The 300 DT would be a good one. It uses the ASR mounting system. I prefer the Q mounting system. You can buy the adapter from Q and then get a Rearden muzzle device to match.

Man you jumping off deep into it lol. I would say maybe hold off on suppressors and night optics until you know a little more about what you want.

You’re throwing a lot of big $$ stuff out there but get the gun first then go from there.

I may be an unpopular opinion giver here but I don’t love the thoughts of deer hunting with an ar15. I know plenty people done it but doesn’t mean it’s the best thing.

If you really want something for hunting a large frame ar10 in 308 is probably the route you want to go.

You would be shocked what you can get into a PSA 18” stainless barrel 308 for. Spend a little more could do their Sabre line. Or if not wanting psa tier stuff a stag10 or aero would be good options I like 18” ar10 308.

If wanting less of a hunting gun and more of a fun shooting gun a 5.56 ar15 is the way to go. More economical to shoot and just good to have one anyway. Tough to beat a BCM upper thrown on any bought or built lower for the $/quality. If not wanting to spend that money and the gun seeing only occasional casual shooting a mid length gas 16” stainless barrel PSA is untouched in the economy realm.

Whatever you buy get an Mlok free float rail.

Whatever you do buy atleast 6 pmags. 30 round if 556 20 round if 308. They are as cheap as they will ever be.

I love suppressors and recommend them To everyone. I agree no mater you do get a 30 cal can. Lots of good options.

For night optics I would wait to see how your actually going to use the gun. If you find yourself with lots of oppurtunity to do some nighttime pig hunting then sure do some research and buy according to your budget.

When you say legs I’m assuming you mean bipod. I’ve swapped over to the magpul sling mount quick detach bipod and it is the goat because it is one of the few ways you can easily put on and take off bipod without tools.

You would be surprised how much those are worth now. I picked mine up for $200 and it was a steal

About to start on a new 18” 5.56 build. I have been buying stuff on sale this year. Bought the Billet Wilson Combat upper lower set 2 weeks ago for $130 OTD. I have a 18” Larue Predat Barrel I paid $140 for it. I should be able to get in this one for under $850 sans glass. A buddy gave me a brand new BCM BCG he wasn’t using.

Or even better, a small frame 308. I’ve been out of the AR game for probably 5-6 years, and my buddy was selling an almost brand new Ruger SFAR 308, so I decided to buy it. Everybody needs at least 1 lol
Right now, I have a Griffin Bushwhacker 46 on it, but I have a Silencerco Omega 300 DTM in suppressor jail that is going to go on it.
I need to put some optics on it. I’m looking at a Trijicon accupoint 2.5-12.5x42 on a trijicon Q-loc mount, with my trijicon RMRcc mounted on top of the scope ring. Just need an extra $1,500 first lol

Nice build, came out great. Now just chunk that EOTech and put a T1 on there
