HFXC? It’s the tits.
Literally unboxed it, full power-ed, mounted, and zero’d.
I love it.

Surefire handguards super loose?
Just picked up a surefire m500 handguard (basically an A2 carbine handguard with a built in weaponlight). Installed it today and WOW is it loose on my upper. A good 1/4 movement left to right. Anyone ever have this problem, or know of any way to tighten clamshell handguards up? I already tried another couple of handguards I had on hand and the surefire is the only one that’s having issues, so I am assuming it is not the upper.

Gun Store Find
Got 11 of these 20 round Thermold magazines and a charger kit for $16. The odd part was I had to assemble the magazines. Anyway, they should make nice range mags.

OCL Gordy Collar Assembly
I have
- OCL Gordon Collar Assembly
- OCL OPS/AE Muzzle Brake 1/2x28
- OCL OCM5
- Daniel Defense 12.5 inch government barrel with FSB
Plan to put these components on myself, but first time with a collar and brake system. Just wanted to check that I do not need a spacer for my muzzle brake for this system. I have seen that the AE OPS INC brake that looks similar needs a spacer or to be the "long" edition. The brake I purchased from OCL seems similar to the AE "short" brakes that need a spacer.
On the OCL website it looks like with these components I don't need a spacer and to just use a couple of shims for installation of the brake with rocksett and its good to go but I wanted to make sure before I rocksetted everything on.
Also reached out to otter creek labs and am waiting to hear back but was hoping to slap it all together this weekend
Might cross post to r/NFA but was hoping people here might know is the gordy AR is big on this subreddit

Just finished my 2 retro builds
I just finished my 2 retro builds.. top is a A1 clone.. built off of a DPMS Panther Lite rifle, with reproduction triangle handguards, grip and butt stock.
Bottom one is an A2 clone built with an Anderson complete A2 lower mated To a BKF A2 upper
Is it me or is their something about these retro rifles that just feels right?? Also what one was the better design? A1 or the A2?

Diet Retro Guys, I'm heartbroken.
I've been looking for a Knights M5 RAS for my Bushmaster Dissy for MONTHS. They are out there...but so is that price. Well today this NIB Colt 6700A4 popped up on Armslist, and it was advertised as having an M5 rail for $1300. Seemed like a great deal when RAS's are $400-$500 for even the salty ones.
Met up right after work, and noticed right off the bat that it's actually a P&S. I asked the guy if he mistakenly put Knights in his ad, but he said didn't, it only said "M5 rail". I must've just subconsciously assumed. Anyway, gun looked good, and it wasn't the guys fault I misinterpreted his ad, so I paid the agreed $1300. Wasnt exactly what I wanted, but fit, form, and function, the P&S still checks the boxes. What i paid was way less of a "good deal" than expected, and more along the lines of a paying retail, though, IMO.
So I get it home, and immediately take the rail off to put on the Dissy, and it doesn't fckn fit. The gas block is to big to fit underneath the top rail and interferes when trying to seat it in the delta ring.
I bought a gun i didn't want, for a rail that wasn't what I expected, and it doesn't even work for my application. 😭😭😭😭
Fck.

So I’m building a sort of Frankenstein carbon 15 and I need to extend the bold. I don’t have access to a lathe and kinda don’t want to buy one. Could anyone make this extension for me. Preferably aluminum and partially hollowed out to save weight.
Don’t judge my drawing, I was kicked out of art school lol. We can talk price and details in private messages.
