Gemtech for sure.

What optic and foregrip did you go with?

Thank you! Yeah I'm happy I bought it, really looking forward to taking it to the range, this is my first AR-15. So far I ordered a magpul fore grip, and a GLX green laser sight, and a generic 200 lumin tactical light for it, as well as a 1720 pelican case. I'm pretty sure that I will order an eotech sight next...

I do like Gemtech (know many people that work there personally...), and the Mk9k is considered a great SMG can. But three drawbacks I see vs. the YHM:
1.) Cost
2.) Diameter.
3.) Weight. The Mk9k is listed at 20 oz (1 lb 4oz) to the YHM's 11 ozs. The YHM is less than 1lb and 50% lighter than the Mk9k...

The 2" diameter of the Mk9k helps is suppress very well, but it will not fit under any handguard systems out there. The YHM at 1.62" will. This only becomes a factor if I want to create an "SD" type setup (long handguard, shorter barrel with suppressor.)

In the meantime, I'll get a thread adapter and run my old SOS-40 on it until I decide which one to get.....

Anyone have a S&W 15-.22? If so, what is your take on it?

Ordered one in for a customer. The general consensus is they are the most reliable AR15 22's, and the mags are very easy to load and cheap. I'd choose it over the others, and certainly before a "conversion", which all seem to have some issues.

silvergray545 · 12-16-2012, 08:17 PM

Went to the gun show today. Since I'm building a new AR, I was shopping for parts. Ran across a Sun Devil billet upper and lower receiver combo. Upper did not have forward assist and the set was priced at $380. I'm glad I didn't buy it because I found that combo cheaper directly from the factory. Plus, I'm looking to buy an upper and lower receiver from a specific company.

Fresh Face · 12-16-2012, 09:45 PM

this may be the wrong thread for me to post this in, but anyone got an AK variant they'd be willing to part with? I'm afraid with what's been happening these last few weeks, O-man is gonna drop the ban hammer.

MisterSkiMask · 12-17-2012, 03:54 PM

I had no intention of buying another AR, but the fact that I probably won't be able to soon makes me want another one (I only have one right now)

I have one. Great little rifle. I got the FDE MOE version. Worth the extra $$. The flip up sights alone make up the difference. I bought a bunch of mags so I don't have to reload as much. Makes it more enjoyable. Got em on sale for like $15 each. It is super fun to shoot and ammo is dirt cheap. Surprisingly it is a nail driver depending on ammo. It is the only .22 that functions exactly like a real AR. It is also super easy to clean. Highly recommended!!

The only other option is to get a CMMG AR 22 kit. That is a great way to save money as well. The only thing though is the twist rate is different on a real 22 rifle. Plus I don't want to wear out my AR. I've had my M&P 15-22 for like 3 months and easily have over 2k rounds though it. Not one FTF or FTE. Rock solid. Did have a few that didn't fire, but that was the ammo. Another great thing is it will eat anything.

Ok, i'm getting one. Planned on the MOE version as well. I like the fact that it functions just like my ARs. I can train myself and my wife without dumping my 5.56 ammo. I've yet to hear a bad thing said about them.

THanks for the responses!

I cannot find a stripped lower for the life of me. So much for starting a new build.

Have you looked on gunbroker?

I forgot about that site. I need to make sure my FFL accepts shipments from private sellers.

Or you can have the seller ship via his FFL.

I would be careful with parts that you buy at the gun show. I was at the local gun shop the other day and the dude came in with a blown up AR15 barrel that he purchased at the gun show. Almost took off his hand when it happened. Apparently the seller he bought it from is well known for selling the low quality and/or rejected parts that legit manufacturers refuse to put on their firearms and send them to get recycled

Ahh good call. I found a Vltor lower on gunbroker. He wants $350 for it. I think I'm gonna wait and see if I can find something else.

I believe it. This guy at the gun show sells uppers for $300. It's a deal that's too good to be true. Gun shows are a rip off 95% of the time. Everything is over priced and I feel like I can't trust half of those people. I'll go if I need ammo, but that's about it. I went this time to see if I could find any lowers. All I found were DPMS and Armalite.

I just bought another one (Daniel Defense M4V1). I currently already own a Colt LE6920 and a Daniel Defense M4V3.

I also picked up an Arsenal SGL21-61 AK-47.

The recent tragedy, coupled with the knee-jerk anti-gun reaction, has kind of forced my hand.

Seminole · 12-18-2012, 07:19 PM

I was going to wait longer but figured I should get one while I can. Any suggestions for a good first (and probably only) AR in .223/.556? I'm looking in the $1000 or less range. I've been seeing Colts, Daniel Defense, S&W, etc but every single online place is sold out now so I'm not sure where to pick one up.

I just bought my first AR, it's a S&W Model M&P15T, it comes with a picatinny rail system and Mag pull flip up sights. I bought mine from guns and ammo in Memphis for $940 Out the Door, with tax. Here's a stock pic:

You most likely won't find a Colt or Daniel Defense for under $1000. In that price range look at S&W M&Ps, Rock River Arms, Armalite, Bushmaster, etc.

Check your local gun store. That's your best bet of finding an AR in stock. I've been looking online for weeks.

RedBarron · 12-19-2012, 02:29 AM

I just picked up a M&P 15 sport, I think im going to pick up a LMT as well, since no one knows how much longer we may be able to
