    Some nice hardware there. I carried a Rock River LAR15 on duty for 20 years. Definitely nothing fancy about it but we never did anything to those guns beside shoot and clean them. And most of us were pretty lazy about cleaning them. In 20 years I never had a single failure. No kidding. Not one. No failure to feed, no light primer strike, nothing. As long as you just sprayed that bolt down with any kind of oil it was going to run. I never doubted that that gun would go boom if I needed it to. About halfway through my career we swapped out the barrels for 10.3" which made them better for CQB and jumping out of a car. I have nicer, lighter stuff in my personal arsenal but man, that $1200 Rock River just got the job done and took an absolute beating over the years.

      After owning a couple LWRC rifles, I won’t by any means try saying they’re not good, I just think they’re more style than substance.
      Of course they’re (mostly) piston which makes them stand out, to some degree.
      They have good ambi lowers and the spiral fluted barrels look cool.
      I’ve just never really seen a huge advantage when running piston vs DI aside from cleaning.
      The LWRC line is of course good, I just prefer Geissele and such that have good triggers from the factory, etc

I am running a BCM 14.5 with an Aero Precision lower. I couldn't find a better fit. I've spent a lot of money. It dawned on me a BCM/Aero is my go to. Everything else cost wise is just a diminishing return that does nothing monumental for the increased price.

And like most AR options out there, one may always create a Frankenrifle, using what he likes from PSA, and parts from other companies. Kris Paronto, I believe, used and still has a Bushmaster he modified in small ways. Y'all have fun, be safe. God bless. Scouts out!

I now stock two of the most popular models. Once people put their hands on them, they buy it. Dang thing sells itself at times. Especially, once they see mine and I run them myself. I don't babysit safe queens, I beat on my firearms to see what they are capable and look for weak points. But I also don't rag on PSA because I buy plenty of their products and I believe the issues that once supposedly had in the past are long gone.

  • @rivercityracer3683
    @rivercityracer3683 13 днів тому

    Lots of great options for those looking to just buy a solid, bet-your-life AR or assembled upper receiver: BCM, Centurion, Sionics, Geissele, Daniel Defense, Ripcord Industries, ADM, lots to consider. It kinda boils down to details (features) and taste (looks). All of those options plus quite a few more are fairly reasonable in pricing for what you get, which is a product that has gone through strict quality control and uses good components.
    For me, i'm a bit OCD and I like all my "primary use-case" AR's to have the same controls and furniture, the same triggers (or very very similar) and the same muzzle devices to use the same family of suppressors for 5.56 or 30 caliber. So I like to piece my parts together, build the lowers myself, and have the upper built for me since I don't have a vice, or a heat gun/blowtorch, or a Geissele reaction rod or similar in order to mount the upper on via the chamber of the barrel. Etc. Anyway, my go-to combo for a 5.56 fighting AR with high rise red dot/red dot magnifier combo is as follows and can be done for around 1700 dollars without attachments:
    *UPPER*
    Criterion Core series barrel
    BCM headspaced bolt via Criterion
    BCM upper/rail/gas block & tube
    Surefire SOCOM brake
    Radian Raptor SD charging handle
    *LOWER*
    Aero M4 or Centurion receiver
    Geissele lower parts kit
    Geissele SSA trigger
    Radian safety
    BCM MK2 buffer system
    Magpul K2+ grip
    Magpul CTR stock
    SC Irregulars 0.75" cheek riser
    Good alternatives are the Magpul 60/90 degree safety in place of the Radian, the Centurion AST (great combat two-stage trigger) is cheap for what it is but Geissele's G2S is basically an SSA manufactured differently to cut costs also, and Larue I believe makes a similar two-stage that i'd put in the "combat" family as well. Also for stocks, if using an LPVO or otherwise magnified primary optic you may simply want a stock with a wider comb/molded-in cheek weld as your head and neck positioning will likely need to be lower anyway, so probably skip the cheek riser. That is on my two main AR builds because they both have Aimpoint T2's on Unity 2.26 mounts and I get a cheek weld with a 3/4 riser, but without one, I get a bit of a more inconsistent chin weld. Just personal preference.
    The Criterion Core barrels I feel are very overlooked regardless of how stellar the companies reputation is. They chrono very fast for a given barrel length for various reasons (I have data from their 13.9" if interested) and i've gotten 0.625" groups shooting off sandbags with IMI 77gr Razercore, my ideal factory load that i've found. I've also gotten 1" groups or slightly tighter from AAC 69gr OTM's and believe it or not I shot a 1" group with AAC 55gr FMJ from my 13.9" Core gun a couple weekends ago. Even took a picture of it. Lol. It has also shot 77gr Nosler OTM (Freedom munitions load) into 1" and several other cheaper factory loads into around 1.25". Like any gun it has had several loads it did not like as well, but those have been far fewer in number. A part of that accuracy is the very tightly headspaced bolt as well though. Do not skip out on that, order one with your barrel. Its very consistent (repeatable) in the angle and depth at which each round is chambered and lends itself to tighter groups before each projectile even leaves the casing.
    Some of the best groups this combo has gotten were shot after the gun already had 2 - 3 full mags through it also. That is a big consideration. My tightest group with Razercore was after 80 rounds of other ammo being tested within 15 - 20 minutes. The barrel/smooth tapered medium profile is obviously a huge factor in that but the BCM upper components are all steel. So they expand at the same rate as the barrel during hard use, tolerance between barrel and nut/gas block don't really change because of that heat, and that means your barrel harmonics/vibrations don't really change due to heat as a result. Plus this helps maintain a super tight gas seal regardless of any semi-reasonable heat cycling (mag dumping) too. This is why I picked BCM upper parts (Geissele, ADM and Radian use aluminum barrel nuts for example - again, just personal preference) but in addition, the BCM upper receivers themselves offer an extremely tight slip fit/thermal fit for a barrel anyway, which is just a great starting point for having a robust, rigid upper.

    Aero Precision has always impressed me from price point to build options. Now their new PRO line up is a step up. I’ve gone BCM with 11.5 & 14.5 CHF. So I’m considering upgrading my 16 from a SA Saint Victor to the Geissele URGI. Question: What rail covers are on your URGI & BCM?

      @@ReticentIndignation Centurion HF Barrels are by far one of the most accurate C.L. Barrels period . Thier HF barrels have tapered bores that aide in insane accuracy. MIDWEIGHT HF is probably my absolute favorite barrel . I believe 14.5 Mid length MIDWEIGHT HF has 0.073 gas port which is very small considering most use 0.0075 - 0.081 . Avg is probably 0.078 .
      I've been using Centurion Barrels and C4 Rails for damn near 13 years now .
      Centurion gas ports are on the smaller side so you have smooth shooting Mid Length Barrels .
