Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone here into firearms?

Building my first AR rifle, had this laying around so why not?? Magpul CTR stock. Main reason though is current rifle only has a 10" barrel. Dead on at 100

Magpul CTR stock.

Main reason though is current rifle only has a 10" barrel. Dead on at 100 yards but the bullets are so slow! Even with green tip it barely touches 1/8" AR500 steel. I'm looking for 18" in the end with a scope to reach out to 200 yards.

So far I've ordered the Palmetto mil-spec trigger. Yes I know a $30 cheap mil-spec but whatever if it goes boom and shoots to 200 yards. Then the Magpul enhanced tigger guard for $19. Tapco mil-spec 6 position buffer tube, spring, buffer, castle nut and end plate with harness slot for $43. Magpul MOE handle $15. And last CMMG lower install kit for $35.

Now I need to find a FFL dealer to send the CMMG lower to for $103.

So $245 total the way I want it (can't remember what I paid for the CTR stock). The CMMG lower comes built for $254 but I didn't want the handle or stock so I'm looking forward to doing it myself.

Curious what others think, but my impression as a new AR15 owner is that we really don't need a scope out to 200 yards. Iron sight does just fine.

Depends on one's eyes. I used to use the iron sights on my AR-15 but, since my eyes have gotten worse, I now use a scope.

I don't even use my red dot ecotec to 100, I flip my x3 scope over. I have great eye sight, I just like to see as close up as possible.
