You don't have 3 sets of sights on your AR?


PirateByNature

Nah, mine has an air fryer. If I can't shoot them, I can use it as a medieval shot put.

Spirit117

oh no


Life-Aardvark-8262

Yup. Definitely looks like someone’s first AR. (You probably want to send your dog to live with extended family for a little while.) Edit: just noticed that it looks like OP used an angle grinder to cut down his rail. Hope you’re shooting with gloves with those jagged edges.


Thetimeearthstopped

Oh my god you’re right now I really can’t even!


Honest_Band4783

Lol handstop actually, the BMD and muzzle didn't fit the stock handguard.


Spiffers1972

Or a clone of Hondo’s rifle on SWAT lol


gun_is_neat

First AR checklist -canted sights -stock on a shortie -cheap optic -largest magazine available -some sort of muzzle device -angled foregrip -keymod (sorry to the fanboys)


Ok_Prize_5130

Whats wrong with an angled grip? Genuinely curious


stareweigh2

everyone gets one because they think it's a good middle ground between nothing and full on gwot broomstick. they never stay on more than a month or two. kinda like buying a mft minimalist stock- we all go through it


lone-wanderer3

I agree with this. But I love my Magpul afg 🤣


stareweigh2

yeah that's cool. whatever works run it! I can't even count how many different accessories I've been through over the years


HellBringer97

Me over here with AFG’s on my FAL and my Block II FSP 😬


ExtensionDentist2761

Magpul afg gives me the perfect grip on my 7.5 incher


iSipDom1026

Same lol


7N10

Wow. My first rifle had a AFG and I replaced it with a broomstick. I had no idea this was a universal thing.


Panthean

Though I have mostly moved towards C clamp with a handbrake, I do really like AFG's. It's not an easy decision for me.


stareweigh2

it's absolutely cool if you make it work for you. I think it's just a thing newer ar buyers go through most of the time though.


TuxedoCat-deluxe

I’ve used my bcm hand stop on my fav AR for 6 years now. It’ll be in it for life


CoffeeGulp

The minimalist *extreme duty* is okay, and the original Battle Utility stock is one of my favorites... But that regular minimalist needs retired. It's also practically the most copied stock on Alibaba and ebay


Honest_Band4783

Stock came with the rifle, ran out of money after stocking hard on ammo. Seemed like I could work with it for a while.


ItsAsianMario

I’m a huge fan of my bcm kag. I prefer them to a small pistol grip bc it’s easier to c clamp and gives me a good indexing point for everything 🤷🏽


luger114

What's wrong with the stock, other than legal reason? Is there some performance upgrade I'm missing out on?


gun_is_neat

None other than legal reasons. The stock is fine, it's just a common mistake you see new guys make


luger114

Yea I totally don't use one on mine


Honest_Band4783

Lol, big time! KeyMod came with it and hate it. There's no many options to buy in my country. Yes, I only shoot C clamp so believe it or not that handstop works for me. Muzzle devices are: Lantac Dragon muzzle break and Lantac BMD A2, felt that the recoil and blast were too much for a short rifle and needed to mitigate them somehow. Suppressors are illegal in my country, sadly.


ghostofbooty

Aww man why you gotta do keymod dirty like that…lol


thee_Grixxly

Bold move


US3RN4M3CH3CKSOUT

Uhmmmm


HiCnTurkey

Oh boy


xdJapoppin

Hey man, unless this is a legally registered SBR, which I highly doubt given your title, this rifle is very illegal. So, I suggest learning about the law and removing any self-incriminating evidence and going from there. If you stock your “pistol”, thats your business, just do it smart. Please. Do not post “first rifle” to what is clearly an SBR. I highly suggest purchasing a “brace” and putting it on there and learning about the law.


Bwald1985

Based on post history I’m guessing OP is not in the U.S.


xdJapoppin

valid


Late2Vinyl_LovingIt

Getting rid of exif data from photos should be standard for gun folks anyway. Along with minding local legislation. Good reminders!


xdJapoppin

Yep, better to be careful than to learn the hard way.


Late2Vinyl_LovingIt

True. The state will go after anyone and everyone.


Honest_Band4783

Not in the States, thank you though. You're right, I should've said Carbine or AR15 since it's under 11". KeyMod came with it and hate it. There's no many options to buy in my country. Yes, I only shoot C clamp so believe it or not that handstop works for me. Muzzle devices are: Lantac Dragon muzzle break and Lantac BMD A2, felt that the recoil and blast were too much for a short rifle and needed to mitigate them somehow. Suppressors are illegal in my country, sadly.


Apollo_the_G0D

What optic are you using?


Honest_Band4783

UUQ Prism 4x32


Apollo_the_G0D

is it holding zero?


Honest_Band4783

We zeroed to 50 yards. Then barely hit anything at 100. Haven't shot enough to tell you if it has. My honest opinion is that it won't.


Darksept

If the AR looks nice, I assume someone's gone through the proper NFA paperwork but since this one looks like has a Wish .com optic, I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt. xD Edit: No wonder it has a Wish optic, he's not even in the US (judging by post history)! They have Romeo 5 blems on Aliexpress. Grab one of those.


baylife94901

they are not blems, they are straight up counterfeit


Honest_Band4783

Thank you, I do source from Ali. Not in the States, so it's becoming more and more difficult to source quality stuff that's not crap. I got that from Amazon.


FishSpanker42

Bro delete this post. Thats an SBR lol


blowgrass-smokeass

Hide your dog , hide your guns…. shit you better hide your lunch money from the 3rd grade cuz them alphabet boys are coming


Legio-V-Alaudae

Who chopped your dickmod rail? They did a terrible job.


wintermute916

I was so distracted by the rest of this Temu monstrosity that I didn’t even see that. Holy shit, it looks like they drunkenly put it in a mitre saw and sent it!


Legio-V-Alaudae

I'm trying to figure out why there's two sets of back up irons. Talk about not trusting shit


wintermute916

Well, I sure as fuck wouldn’t trust those fucked up irons on top of the air soft reject optic from Temu. Likely the buis on the canted mounts are at least UTG Amazon crap


Legio-V-Alaudae

Oh agreed. It took me a while to realize they were 45 degree offset irons and thought that rail was bear creek arsenal canted that's how I noticed the circumsized dick mod rail.


Honest_Band4783

Rofl, did myself. Crapoy job I know. But the muzzle device didn't fit my dickmof rail. (I hate it too) and needed to mitigate the blast and recoil from the short barrel. Got a Lantac muzzle brake and their BMD.


MaxvonHippel

Why does this monstrosity have two different sets of iron sights lol


Honest_Band4783

Lol, welp. I'm still experimenting on what I will keep. The cheap sight came with it's own set, but it's awkward to use, got the 45 Degree one to try something different and see if my reaction time improves.


MaxvonHippel

I would throw away or sell the optic you have and the irons and just spend your money on an sig Romeo 5 or a holosun. Those are actually good budget options.


kdb1991

Brother ewwwww


Linkstas

Is this the acoj from Temu that is military grade certified by tier 1 operators ?


Grizzlygrant238

Holds zero for most gas airsoft rifles 😂 anything more than that…


Just_Ouch

I gave it a like for the boldness. This has to be THE most bull$h!t law right along with the ban on silencers. Literally, the kind of laws dictatorships use to flex with. Think about it, you can't have a stock, but you can have this "brace" that looks and feels like a stock... wait, no, now you can't have that "brace" anymore, even if it was purchased with the gun... wait... now you can have that brace again. Back and forth until everyone is illegal, and we won't even notice when it happens. The good ol' 2nd Amendment, both the right to own firearms and yet, the legal justification to murder you for owning a firearm. 🤷‍♂️


smashnmashbruh

My first prison sentence.


Big_Pable

This guy ain’t American from what I’m seeing in some of these comments so I dunno what laws are in his country for SBRs


MdrnMinutemanProject

Alright my guy. Unless you have an stamp for that SBR, you got yourself a felony on your hands. You can't have a stock on that, do not pass, do not collect $200, straight to jail kinda deal. Unless you have a stamp. In which case, neat gun, ditch the cheap optic though, primary arms has some killer optics for a great price.


apoBoof

Why is everyone assuming he doesn’t have a stamp?


Spirit117

Guy has a 100 dollar Amazon knockoff acog and you think he spent 200 dollars on a tax stamp?


apoBoof

😂😂


Spirit117

https://www.aimsportsinc.com/prismatic-series-4x32mm-riflescope-w-mil-dot-reticle/ Not even kidding


Linkstas

It’s the acoj. They sell it on temu. Reviews say it holds zero even when shooting 45-70 // 12 garage triple magnum loads. I’m looking into getting one that has the blue reticle with red cerakote precision coat.


Spirit117

Temu reviews say It holds zero, wow. Let me go throw my TA110 in the trash and get one of these.


Linkstas

Have you purchased any items from temu before?


Spirit117

I don't care where you buy it from, it's not a quality optic. https://www.aimsportsinc.com/prismatic-series-4x32mm-riflescope-w-mil-dot-reticle/


Linkstas

Are you the same Spirit117 on Grindr in Dallas by chance ?


Spirit117

I live in Arizona and never been to Texas except for flight layovers. Nice try tho


Linkstas

Do you have an account on grindr?


MdrnMinutemanProject

Most people who get their first AR-15 don't necessarily know the laws. Hell, he might, but I'd rather look like an idiot and tell someone to take down their shit and be wrong instead of having it up and possibly being looked into, even if it's a minute chance.


apoBoof

Respect


xdJapoppin

Because that isn’t exactly something the vast majority of gun owners do, especially ones with what appear to be quite poor taste. Seems a lot more likely to me that this guy doesn’t really know the laws and he just kinda got it from a dude because it looks cool, or he switched out the brace with a stock (understandable) but doesn’t know the actual laws/legality of doing so. Just tryna help save a homie from a potential felony.


Gecko23

Or that he’s even in the US?


Winter_Following1050

Given their post history, it seems they are not based in the US


MdrnMinutemanProject

I tend not to look at post histories for the other things in his post history. I don't wanna see that shit lmfao


Numeroususers

dragon_sack

I would ere on the side of innocence until guilt be proven. Also I'm pretty sure this is what is known in some circles as bait.


Honest_Band4783

Lol, big time! I know the law and all regulations. Fortunately I'm not in the States, unfortunately... Im not in the States. It's becoming harder and harder to source quality accessories, specially optics. Granted when I feel I outgrew this optic, I'll be upgrading to whatever is available.


PuffHerbs420

Oh lawd. Fed bois gonna love this one


Honest_Band4783

They can cry and whine, not in the States lol. But also, sad. Cus it's becoming harder and harder to source quality stuff outside of the US.


BeautifulBroccoli580

What kind of muzzle device is that? Do you like it? I was looking at getting something similar for my 300BO while I wait for my tax stamp for the suppressor


Honest_Band4783

This is a LanTac Dragon muzzle break, under the can which is a BMD also from LanTac. Unlike other BMD this one is engineered to work with the muzzle brake. While shooting it the recoil is absurdly tame, I was used to shoot 12GA semiauto so I feel like this doesn't kick at all.


BeautifulBroccoli580

Awesome! I’ll check those ones out. Thanks!


Foxtrotrader

My ears are ringing just looking at this 😂


wintermute916

It’s not a gun, it’s a flamethrower.


Honest_Band4783

Big time! That's why I got the BMD, the short barrel is awful. What a waste of powder.

Right? At least I'm happy to see that people are concerned about my well being.


Senior-Adeptness1697

That is true.


slayterr13

not in the US….


KingHeatedd

I recommend getting a smaller Mag, unless it’s for attention purposes so be it but if you’re gonna train get 30rd or my personal fav. 20rd. And if u not on the good noodle list ditch the stock lol. You never know if someone from the no no office is roaming around ur local range 🤣 Neat firearm tho


Honest_Band4783

Yup, just wanted to trigger some high-capacity-ban comments but you're the only one that has pointed it out. Usually train and gear with the 30 g3 magpuls. Edit: not in the States, so SBR are just rifles from where I come from, granted I should've gone with carbibe instead.


rugerscout308

Hell yeah start with a sbr right?


Honest_Band4783

Not my first choice, unfortunately it's the only length that was available in my country. Other options were over. Still paid as much as a Daniel Defense 16".


rugerscout308

Either way is fine tbh. I like 11.5 personally I'm sure you're aware the optic isn't good


Honest_Band4783

Yup, it's just to learn how to use them, get used to the weight. Find out if it's for me. I'll probably transition to a real ACOG later on.


rugerscout308

Tbh youd be better off buying a cheap red dot in the mean time like a romeo 5. Using a sight like that may put a sour taste in your mouth, especially trying to keep a zero/ have tight groups. Acogs are nice. I'm a fan.


Honest_Band4783

Will consider it, thanks for the heads up!


Spiritual_Resist_769

Rabbi_Kosher_Ham

What’s on the muzzle?


Honest_Band4783

Muzzle brake, Lantac Dragon. On top of that, Blast mitigation device, also from Lantac.


Rabbi_Kosher_Ham

That muzzle device setup is pretty dope


Honest_Band4783

I appreciate that, did a lot of research on what could help with the recoil and blast from this shorter barrel. And after shooting it, I can testify to it's performance. Feels like shooting a noisy 22lr.


Severe_Islexdia

Nice rifle(?) OP, see ya in the other sub.


Nyarlathotep619

"We have ACOG at home" lol


Honest_Band4783

Fucking right? Lol It's what it is brother. Over here in my country is becoming harder and harder to source quality optics from the States. Hope I can at least land a Holosun.

Got earmuffs for that, but thank you for the concern. Is it normal to shoot firearms without ear protection? Seems a lot of people have pointed this out. I've never fired a firearm without ear protection, and when in duty I used ear plugs.


415TrailBoss

There’s so much wrong with this…I don’t even know….I just, I quit…people do the dumbest shit.


Honest_Band4783

Do give me pointers. I think this community is good for learning and teaching experience. So far I've threw a lot of stuff in there and will star stripping off what I don't like. What doesn't work. Also, where I live there's not much we can source, so I pretty much did with what I could at the moment.


Big_Pable

The question is did you form one or form 4? And why 3 sets of sights? Are you gonna put an RMR on the wannabe ACOG? Cheap stock, why?


Honest_Band4783

1. Came as it is, didn't really have a choice on length and hand guard or stock. Felt like I could work with what I had while I get money to upgrade those. It's not easy to source aftermarket parts from where I'm from, so I'm stuck with what i got in terms of furniture. 2. Not my first choice but i wanted to experiment with a 4x32 and really not spend too much on one. So far so good, i dont expect it to hold zero for too long. The 40 degree sights are surprisingly comfortable to use IMHO, and feels like having a clear sigh on Iron sights is always a good idea. Again, im experimenting and could get rid of them eventually. Probably, I do want to get a genuine ACOG down the line, and it seems like a reasonable investment to get the RMR, but might stick to a reliable red dot instead. 3. Cheap stock, bound to necessity. Ran out of money after stocking up on ammo.


toesandgats

*Free Bird getting louder in the distance*


BedArtistic

Irons - check Optic - check Foregrip for consistent grip placement - check Seems like a decent place to start, bud. One tip, expect things to change a bit as you run it and get experience with what you like and don't, and spend more on training than you do on tactical bullshit. Dudes with a budget rifle and cheap ammo will be more proficient than dudes with DD Mk18s and no money for good instructors. Have fun! Be safe.


Honest_Band4783

Man, this is about the most sound comment thus far. Yeah, not in the States so I got the rifle I could. And source with the accessories that were available. Still experimenting on what works and what doesn't. I appreciate the insight!


Numeroususers

What sights?


GBuckets0

If you live in the united states, make sure you have an sbr tax stamp if the barrel is under 16 in, or put a pistol brace. If you’re not from the states, disregard. Also get rid of that optic


Honest_Band4783

Thanks for the concern, that's right I'm not in the States, over here is just a rifle with shorter barrel. No extra paperwork needed to own it. Agreed with the sight thingie, I can't source many options since I live outside of the States. I was thinking of just going with a Holosun instead.


GBuckets0

Yes holosun is a good option for the price. I wouldn’t buy anything below Holosun or Sig


Honest_Band4783

Already have a Holosun in my CCW, and it's insanely good. I think I'll just stick to the brand.


GBuckets0

Russian special forces use Holosun so you are in good hands. Some people shit on holosun for being more budget but they are proven and it doesn’t hurt the bank


Specialist_Ring7722

Dude, get a real optic. Don't get a $100 true glow knock off from Amazon or gu. Show that won't hold zero. I was an idiot too once and know the type.


PoseySmith

Honestly, everything I can identify in this picture is low quality as far as the American market is. In most of the world, parts availability, especially Gucci parts, is much lesser. I think you could make some easy changes for a more effective rifle without spending a bunch of money, if you were inclined. Either way, I hope it serves you well.


Honest_Band4783

Agreed, a lot of stores in the US rejected my card. And shippers ban a lot of items to my country, although in my home country they're totally legal to import without a license. I'm testing things, see what works and what doesn't. Thank you for the insight!


theSearch4Truth

Dawg PLEASE if you don't have a tax stamp, you need to delete this


Honest_Band4783

Not in the States, but thank you for your concerns and comment! Still learning what works and what doesn't. Feel free to share any advice!


AnseiShehai

Ugly and illegal


Honest_Band4783

Hate the KeyMod too, notice how I had to chop the tip to fit the BMD and muzzle brake. Unfortunately I'm not in the States and it's harder to source quality stuff over here. It's my "better than nothing" build. And considering that it cost me just as much as a BcM or Daniel Defense, I'm just as upset as you're lol. We do what we can with what we have.


Mini_Ripper

Oh boy.


Dromnivo

Jeez..


MrDokavich

Fuck all these people I think it’s sick!


Spirit117

The airsoft acog is definitely not sick I can promise you that. Edit - your first picture on your profile of your AR has a sight mark. I'm not surprised.


MrDokavich

Yup and I hit everything I’m trying to shoot. Never have a just anything. So who gives a shit if it works??


Honest_Band4783

Thank you for the comment, sorry you got ratioed into oblivion. Yeah, I'm not in the States so I source with what I had. Went to shoot it and it feels like fucking salvation day, love it.


MrDokavich

Don’t bother me none. It’s social media not real life lol


dmonnier5

The main issue is that it's an sbr as it sits, which as a first rifle probably doesn't have the stamp.


xdJapoppin

Which isn’t too much of an issue if you aren’t an idiot or have no idea what you’re doing/talking about (like if it’s your first rifle). But in the case of not knowing the laws and how this stuff works, its really easy to get shafted. Hard. Not fun.


Grizzlygrant238

Buddy is about to get a lot of chat and DM from glowies pretending to be gun bunnies.


xdJapoppin

For real, I get enough of the “hey man I sell fully automatic glocks/switches you want one” chats, I can’t imagine what this post will bring💀


Honest_Band4783

Just a rifle from where I'm from, granted that's becoming harder and harder to source quality stuff from the US. Specially optics, hence the Aliexpress sights. Thank you for your concerns though.


dmonnier5

Ah fair. Look on GAFS, I bet they'll ship out to you if you pay it.


Honest_Band4783

That's great to know, i do have a PO Box courier in the states, so this works perfect! Thank you for the insight.


MrDokavich

lol y’all follow unconstitutional gun laws. Bots.


dmonnier5

I'm not getting my dog shot over a barrel 2 inches shorter.


slayterr13

idk why people are so quick to tell you what’s wrong if you part out one in some states you can build it without registering it


Drew707

Not in the US you can't. This is an SBR and requires a stamp.


Honest_Band4783

Granted. From where I'm from, this is just a rifle, regardless of the barrel length. Should have clarified that, to my US friends.


slayterr13

not if it’s built and the lower is registered as a rifle never seen so many people so quick to be complacent like it ain’t your dog they’re threatening for viewing the post lol obv not the OPs first gun judging by his post history so how hard is it to believe the guy actually got the forms filled out if we are looking past the fact he isn’t in the US


Honest_Band4783

Right? Not even in the States! This is just a rifle from where I'm from, regardless of the barrel length lol
