PSA AR pistol BCG upgrade (lemmy.world)
 

I recently got a complete .300 blk AR pistol from psa with a 7.5” barrel. I was going to swap out the bcg it came with for a BCM m16 BCG I’ve got at home. I’ve got no experience with ARs with barrels shorter than 16”. Is there any reason the BCM M16 BCG would be less optimized in this short pistol?

Below is all the info I have on the BCG it came with: Full-auto profile bolt carrier group. Shot-peened, mil-spec Carpenter No. 158® steel bolt. Gas Key Hardened to USGI Specifications, Fastened with Grade 8 screws, and Staked Per Mil-Spec.

Where do you suggest?

Training in the real plates will risk degrading their integrity pretty quickly then?

Excellent, thank you very much for your input. You pretty much covered all my bases.

Plate carrier recommendations (lemmy.world)
 

What body armor manufacturers do you guys trust. What’s top of the line? Serviceable budget friendly options?

Body armor recommendations (lemmy.world)
 

Im looking into some plate carriers and soft body armor and im curious what brands have a good reputation. Most of the threads and reviews I’m finding online are from years ago I’d like to know where things stand now.

From what I’ve gathered AR500 is no good. RMA is a respectable budget option. What else can you tell me?

AFG on ar pistol. (lemmy.world)
 

I see most AR pistol builds using angled fore grips and have a 7.5” barrel 9” handguard at pistol on the way. How much difference have those of you who have used an AFG found? I strictly grip the hand guard on my mid size AR rifle and have no complaints there. For those who’ve used them have you noticed a meaningful ergonomic or control advantage on these short barreled pistols?

I have no intention of mounting anything else on the bottom of the handguard(light and laser will be side mounted) so space won’t be an issue.

I know it feels useless and tedious writing your representatives about why gun ownership rights are important to you but it is a necessary thing to do. Right now these officials are assuming the people who care about gun ownership rights are already not a reachable voting block. Being vocal about this to anyone you are eligible to vote for can help them remember there are votes to be won with that issue.
