It's fun to sit jugs and pumkins and what nots out there 100-200 or more yards and pop them but what distances do you practice the most with your AR? In looking at some local shooting school course descriptions they seem to keep the distance at 25 yards and in. I've watched all the videos at Viking Tactical (recommend you watch them if you haven't) and those drills seem to be no more than 25 yards and probably more like 15-20 yards.

I would think it makes sense to practice all the way from very close pistol range to as far as one might feel comfortable taking a shot with SD in mind.

For you law enforcement and military guys/gals do/did you do a lot of practice at relatively close ranges?

Anyway, just curious as to what others do and what their reasoning is.

I decided on the Daniel Defense XV. Costing under $1000 - combined with their $250 gift card - this seemed like my best option, and I couldn't be more pleased.

Dealing with Peach State guns was great and the people at Daniel Defense have been very nice and polite. Now comes the week and a half of waiting before I can shoot her. Within 6 months I've purchased an XDM 40 and a DDXV....I've caught the bug. :cool:

The XV is very light and seems to be machined well. The upper and lower had a bit of play, but it was nothing an accu wedge couldnt fix. I'll report back after the holidays with range reports.

I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for their insight and entertainment. Its truly a pleasure wasting time at work here.

I'm building a new range plinker, and was wondering what length of barrel I should be looking for, and any good links.

I'm looking at a 16" DD chrome lined 1:7 inch with threaded endcap(A HUGE plus for me.), but I don't know if this could accurately make shots at 200 yards.

The only local range goes to three hundred, and I like shooting two hundred, but I'd still like the option. I'd like a barrel that can shoot as many types of ammunition as possible.

I'm not sure if the barrel is original as from reading Colt's were 1:7, and this barrel is Marked "CMP 1:9 5.56". Overall the rifle is probably 8 out of 10.

Recently I went to a gun show and picked up a DPMS lower, and LPK. I also happened to see what looked to be a great deal.

A MagPul PRS stock at only $80! I got hosed, and it's a knock off. As soon as I figured this out, I contacted MagPul, and ordered a real one from one of their affiliates. Apparently it's an ever-increasing problem for them.


The internals are all there, and it feels absolutely solid. I pressure tested it with some heavy objects and it won't budge. Can I still use it until the real one I ordered is in? It says there's approximately a four month wait on it. :cry: Should I seat the screw with some blue loctite or glue the buffer tube to the inside of the stock?


Note, I have another buffer tube on the way with the MagPul (genuine) stock, so this one's a beater and will be discarded with no remorse once the better one shows up.

Ideas or comments? Some finds at a gunshow are good, others, not so much. ]]> AR Talk XDARguy http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ar-talk/136034-gunshow-fail-magpul-prs-huge-mistake-need-help.html http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ar-talk/136025-how-do-build-your-own-ar-videos-how.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:44:21 GMT Here's some videos of building a complete lower

I need to take off the top screw so I can take the tube out of the stock and thread it onto my reciever, but guess what?

They used locktite on it and it won't F'n budge!!!

Why the F*** would they locktite a screw when the first thing the customer has to do is take it off????

:evil: I don't want to "Hulk out" and F it up...

-but I have limited tools and no vise, etc.


....any ideas????

I like the 3 point slings for versitility. I like to be able to carry it slung over the shoulder the traditional way, or canted at a 45 degree angle when being worn over the front or back. I am not a big fan of the verticle slung position where furtive movements insure that your AR slaps you in the nuts. Also, I am looking for something with some padding to avoide the "shoulder bite". I am attempting to put this on a COLT CAR that I replaced the carry handle with a flat top and then had an MI forend put on.

I have been mulling over serveral slings, and just can't make up my mind. Any suggestions from the sling experienced would be greatly appreciated. ]]> AR Talk KingArthur http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ar-talk/135556-3-point-sling-suggestions.html http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/ar-talk/135530-lower-pic-new-project-kns-pins.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:03:09 GMT I hate the light in my apartment at night, but the thread about KNS pins made me go take a photo of my current project. It's a Doublestar lower, Magpul MOE stock and TangoDown grip. I think I'll probably end up doing a lightweight (DD?) rifle length handguard and put some fixed sights on it to get the long sight radius. It will have a DD barrel (already purchased) as well as a DD carrier. I also used the KNS pins and the trigger is much firmer (not heavier...crisper maybe?) than other builds I've done.

I bought a cheapie @ 'Dicks' for my XD(M) and it serves the purpose.

I would LOVE to get a spinner/resetting steel target for the AR style platform. I'm tired of shooting at 12"12"X1/2"Plate.

I have browsed some online catalogs as well as print ones, and some of the articles aren't so favorable (Fall over upon hit, cheap construction...etc; you get the idea...ahhh LaRue AIN'T an option!!!)

There is a cabelas about 60 miles away, and that woluldn't be a bad afternoon drive, but I would like to hear FIRST from SHOOTERS which they've had both BAD & GOOD luck with.

I'm an unployed stiff right now, so anything under $100 would really be ideal.

Looking to shoot in the 150-250 yard range. (PMC Brass)

Thanx for any links or thougts ahead of time!

I purchased some BAD levers for all my AR's and installed them yesterday. I took them to the range on my patrol rifle today so I could get test it out before returning to work with new equipment. Anyway my fastest reload with the BAD lever and the coupled mags was 1.59 my average was 1.8. The drill I was doing involved having a target at 15 yards. I had one round int he chamber and an empty magazine. I would fire one shot reload and fire 1 more round. I did this about 60 times. My average times without using the BAD lever were .5 to one full second slower.
I then ran some type three malfunction drills (double feeds fails to extract etc,) I was able to get my clearing drill down to 8.1 seconds. Without the lever it used to be around 10. The drill being start with a induced type three malfunction and clear it and fire 2 rounds at the target. I did this 10 times. I would have done more by my hands were getting raw from all the reloading. I then shot 3 department rifle qualifications and was out of ammo at that point. I went through about 350 rounds or so. No malfunctions at all. I am sold on the BAD lever and on the Firebird 20 round 30 round coupler for my patrol gun. The 20 round mag allows it to fit in my rifle case and in the rifle rack. Yet you have a 30 round mag as a spare right on the rifle.
