New upper. 😁

Of course I built it myself. Taking it to the range tomorrow. I expect good things.

Enjoy comrade 🫑

I will.

Yaasss

Have fun tomorrow!

I will. A range day is a good day!

It's pretty 😁

I think I would say "it looks rad."

I almost said, "she's pretty" but I remembered how you reacted the last time I gendered one of your guns πŸ™„πŸ˜…

If you ever build/buy/acquire a firearm of your own, you can name and gender them all you want.

No thank you. πŸ˜πŸ™„πŸ˜ŽπŸ’šπŸŽ‰πŸ˜

Okay but what if I said your newest firearm is "pretty sexy" aye?

And her name should be Olive... After the green of the grippy bit. πŸ˜πŸ˜‰πŸ˜πŸ’šπŸ˜

If...

IF...

It would have to be Olive Oyl. (Do you know Popeye?)

Yes as I was typing her name Popeye came to mind 🀣 I didn't know her full name though. That's funny

We should watch the Popeye movie sometime!

There's a movie? I never liked Popeye that much... Ever seen the Tintin movie? I loved Tintin but haven't seen the movie since it was released... I just realised how old it must be... And how old I must be to remember watching it πŸ€”πŸ˜±πŸ˜’

The animated Tintin movie?

The Popeye movie is utterly brilliant.

Can't remember if it was animated or not... I thought it was a live action one but an internet check seems to indicate I'm thinking back to an animated one in 2011...πŸ€”

Find out. I'll watch it.

Not quite yet... My next pick is probably JSA 😊 depends on the mood, got to be in a certain mood to watch JSA.

I will watch either.

Well we are up to your turn to choose the movie, and it can't be worse than some of your other choices πŸ˜‰πŸ€£

Fair enough... I think you'll be surprised by this, though.

I might look at you funny and then agree. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Lol. Don't go with a collapsible stock. πŸ˜‘

Why? I'm rather fond of them.

Preferences. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Nice lookin' rifle, though. πŸ‘

Gotcha. This one will be a lot less overgassed than the previous setup, so between that and the buffer spring and buffer I've selected, it should be very mild to shoot.

They don't seem to absorb recoil as well as fixed or foldable stocks from my experience. That's all.

Oh. That's comes down to the spring length and buffer weight. You can get the same effect with an A5 system using the longer A5 style extension tube, a rifle length spring and starting with an H2 buffer. Those are parts that will be going on my 308 build later this year.

Although, this also depends on the caliber. I don't like collapsible stocks on 7.62 or .308 rifles. They don't handle all that well, imo.

Well, I haven't shot a 7.62x39 AR or an AR10 style 308. I'll report how it feels in the future.

7.62x51

Oh! Sure. Lots more recoil. But, it can be tamed pretty well.

Lol. Not alot more. But yea, without any quad rail attachments and a fixed stock, there shouldn't be any significant issues.

An AR10 would feel better with all the heavy stuff, though it would be heavier, for sure.

Yes, but weight isn't an issue.

Nice shit

Yes! Lighter with a much better barrel and BCG.

β€˜MERICA F YEAH! πŸ’ͺ

Exactly! 😁

I tried to post the song for you on here but it wouldn’t upload πŸ˜…

Sound files are not widely supported by most clients yet.

Videos are big and you tend to need to sub to one of the relays that will let you upload larger content to do that.

Barring that, a YouTube link works most of the time:

True that, thanks for the tip! 😊

You're welcome!

I haven't even heard that song in so long but now it's running around in my head πŸ™„

Ugh. I couldn't get away from it when I was in the army... UGH!

Nice. Are you going to put sights on it or just mag dump from the hip? =)

LOL!

I have backup sights to add on for now. I'm going through my options for an optic and I'm not settled on one yet.

Check my new note.

Very nice

Thank you.
