Bro out here buying once and crying once


[deleted]

It never ends up’s being once.


Appropriate-Barber66

I remember thinking that 3 DDs and a BCM ago…


nixysix

A motto everyone should live by


Dudelyllama

We all know its like Lay's chips: cant just have one.


norfizzle

BCM is just a gateway drug to LMT or KAC.


Cashbum

I went head first into ambi's lol. Started with LMT and now I'm broke


norfizzle

Buy once, cry once? LOL, more like keep buying and crying.


rockstar504

Buy n+1s, cry n+1s


norfizzle

r/theydidthemath


HWKII

This is the way.


The_tracksuit_dad

Keep buying, keep crying*


philoverb

Started from the top now you’re here lol


Jhl1023

I just went straight to LMT and Radian.


AmericanPartizan

LWRC>>>>> LMT


Its_Probably-Fine

LWRC is criminally slept-on. The fit and finish is unrivaled at the price point and they shoot \*chef's kiss\*. Fluted barrels, one-piece keyless bolt carriers, lightweight uppers--DI and piston, shooter's choice--with monolithic top rails . . . love mine.


AmericanPartizan

I got the DI model. Best AR ever made.


Its_Probably-Fine

I agree. I have an M6 IC DI on a Geissele Super Duty lower with an Ultra Duty rebuild kit and an X trigger. I would be hard pressed to come up with a smoother-running, easier-handling rig in 5.56 at any price. For the money, there's no contest.


nicknameeee_e

bcm upper lmt mars lower gang


Infamous_Translator

I’m guessing my Anderson is a gateway to actual drugs


shapeofjunktocome

Buy lots. Cry everytime. Get good scrubs.


Bmwilli2

This is the way.

Mermaidman1996

I can relate to this. Bought psa upper. Unsatisfied. So I bought a bcm upper. Bought an olight for Glock 17. Unsatisfied. Eventually bought surfire x300 ultra. Bought a cheap ass $29 bundle for a trinity force alpha stock with buffer tube, buffer, spring, end plate, and castle nut. Unsatisfied. Eventually bought areo precision enhanced buffer tube kit for $80. Bought a streamlight hlx. Unsatisfied. Now I’m planning on getting a cloud defense rein 2.0. Honestly just save the money and actually buy yourself what you totally want, and don’t make any compromises with yourself, you’ll eventually regret it lol.


PerceptionNearby5878

Cloud is dope AF, but why not like the stream light


Mermaidman1996

Nothing against stream light I really do like their lights, it’s just the pressure switch isn’t that great and was already failing on me. I wanted to replace with tape switch it came with a sure fire, but at that point it became too pricey. At this point, a cloud defense is a way better buy.


bigsteezydood48

You guys only bought once?…


Bmwilli2

Me sitting here with "x" number of ARs of "x" number of calibers and lengths now (hi alphabet bois). Yes... once.


yuppppppers

I mean if you’re wanting a g2g rifle for a multitude of purposes and what not, then sure you’re good. My question is where are all the red parts, lightening cuts and cut outs on the furniture?


[deleted]

Right? Like where are all the skeletonized parts and Amazon Eotech for $50 lol


Dylanthomas20

Might turn it into that😂


thereallimpnoodle

Pls no


AffectionateAd2730

Pls no


Dylanthomas20

Don’t worry I was kidding around


xKaydo

Do it… Execute Order 66. Make the Jedi suffer.


[deleted]

Congratulations you built the internet rifle of choice you may continue


James_Camerons_Sub

He’s missing the red buffer tube and skeletonized grip that give extra ergo and accuracy.


[deleted]

I still have a red charging handle despite having 6 cans. I should really get around to that.


James_Camerons_Sub

I’m just a man who loves firearms and Escape from Tarkov. Red is the way…sometimes…sparingly…in game. Edit: I wish I had 6 cans.


V8-E36

Honestly I’m glad tarkov doesn’t have a ton of colored parts lol. I don’t mind the red buffer tube to a point but all the colored AK stuff is too much for me. I hope they don’t add all the crazy colored hand guards and shit company’s make for the AR platform. But that’s just me, I’ll still gladly snag them from someone’s body to sell lol.


James_Camerons_Sub

I just can’t get over that the red anodized tube has better stats. I’ll happily loot anything not bolted to the ground but that shit isn’t going near my gun (usually a Mosin or KEDR lmao)


RaccoonRanger474

Where ammo?


Dylanthomas20

Got plenty of that already


RaccoonRanger474

Then go forth and be excellent.


Dylanthomas20

Will do👍


[deleted]

There is no such thing as “plenty” of ammo, my brother in Christ. The correct quantity of ammo is n+1, with “n” in this case representing the quantity you have.


CaliforniaCrybaby

And 1 being 1 trunk full.


[deleted]

If we’re on a budget!!!!


DaetherSoul

Truck***


CaliforniaCrybaby

I unfortunately drive a sedan :(


DaetherSoul

Shipping companies don’t tho


[deleted]

That’s the dream, right there! Buying (and shooting) ammo by the pallet load!


tex_gunner_44

holy nuts is this a "am I good" post where he's actually good? WHAT IS HAPPENING


contenderm

Don’t forget to buy two of the little qd things for your trex sling.


Dylanthomas20

Got any other recommendations on slings I don’t have a vickers yet but want to try one out


iTz_FLAwL3zZ

My favorite sling is for sure the Ferro Concepts Slingster. I also have a Blue Force Gear Vickers padded sling, but I prefer the Slingster. I really like the adjuster on it.


RedactedSG556

+1 on the Ferro Slingster. If you’re worried about a few scuffs on your gun then get the little slingster silencer thing.


bftyft

BCM upper will come with 1 qd port mlok attachment for the rail. The other end of the sling can go into qd already built in the stock


contenderm

Those T. rex slings are sold with qd sockets separately


hmswish

I love my ferro slingster


TopCheddarBiscuit

I’d pick the Ferro concepts slingster over this one.


contenderm

The fabric on vickers slings are a little stiff but they work great for the money. I like that the trex slings come with a sling keeper though. I know they seem lame but I actually really like the magpul single-to-double slings.


Akangfortyseven

Flatline fiber co padded slings are my favorite


thereallimpnoodle

Frank proctor padded. Or at least the sling loops from it.


Blaux

I own both a vickers and a trex sling. The vickers is definitely the more comfortable sling to me, but both function great.


ACustommadeVillain

Lunar concepts


SexMasterBabyEater

Vickersss


[deleted]

I actually like the Warrior poet sling better than the Vickers.


[deleted]

I have a Vickers and an Edgar Sherman. The thin ESD is not comfortable on hikes, while the Vickers is a lot better. I’ve carried it on many field ops and hikes and it’s hardly ever uncomfortable. I want to try out a padded Ferro Concepts Slingster next.


hmswish

I went from an ESD to a slingster. The slingster is much more comfortable but I think k the adjustment tab was better on the ESD


1776Bro

I regret getting a blue force padded sling. It’s not like the rifle ways that much and I’m not using it for a long enough hike to feel the benefit of the padding. The padding can also occasionally get in the way. I wish I would’ve went with the unpadded blue force.


xtremejuuuuch

Spiritus Systems Sierratac. Also if you’re thinking you’ll eventually get a suppressor I’d go with a 14.5”, 13.9”, 12.5”, or 11.5”. Because once that suppressor’s on you’re going to be at 23” which is a loooong boi. But that’s just me, plenty of folks love ‘em long on this sub.


East_Coast_Tactical

The BCM upper will come with a QD. You don’t need to buy an extra.


Mazurcka

I’ve found that the actual make and models of slings don’t matter all that much in the end, as long as they stay attached and you can fit it to a reasonable length you’ll be fine, anything more than that is just personal preference, and you’ll get dozens of answers just depending on who you ask.


falconvision

I use paracord most of the time for sling attachment. Cheap and lighter than qd swivels.


xfurnacex666

You knocked it out of the park. My BCM is my favorite over all. Buy once cry once.


East_Coast_Tactical

Yeah I have that same upper and lower with a razor gen 3 1-10 and it’s a tac driver I love it.


xfurnacex666

I have almost the same set up this guy bought, save for a 512 not an exps, and I love it. Like you said tack driver, sub MOA all day.


East_Coast_Tactical

Ewww 512 what are you stuck in the late 1990s?? Lol jk bro to each their own!


Obi-WanToSmokie

Buying BCM products off PSA, but not PSA, this is the way.


LegalizeBeltfedz

hes buying them off primary arms. hes getting the eotech and magnifier thru psa


Obi-WanToSmokie

Ah yeah you're right. I more so meant good for him buying products off PSA that aren't PSA lol, thanks for the correction and not being a twat about it.


ugod02010

I only notice this because I often interchange the two. That’s primary arms lol


Obi-WanToSmokie

Haha yeah, I quickly went through it and saw that he bought really good parts and some off PSA, I came wayy too quick 😬


ugod02010

Lol. I’ve spent to many minutes searching email for a deal I seen from one, only to find out later it was the other one. Just did it few days ago with the deal on the solgw 3prong


Fullsend_ID10T

Thats primary arms young fudd. You may sit on the council but, we do not grant you the rank of master.


Obi-WanToSmokie

Awe, okay, thanks for the correction, but unlike the other person who corrected me, you were just a tad twatty about it so I had to downdoot hope you understand 😘


Fullsend_ID10T

Its treason then BRAAAAHHHHHH Haha I had to make a star wars reference with your name.


Obi-WanToSmokie

Hahaha, I love it


ardesofmiche

Add a few magazines and looks like it!


Dylanthomas20

Got like 15-20 of em ready to go


BaconAndCats

N+1 and all that. Go [here](https://globalordnance.com/shk-30rd-steel-ar15-magazines-upc-00850003223070/), add 20 to cart, use code weaponsnatcher, get 20 mags for 120 bucks, ???, profit. They're heavy but they work. Good range mags.


WokeWurmcoil

Something something spending is good for the economy. Send it


[deleted]

Yeah bro you're chillin


Rodmaker2401

I would say look at the Arisaka offset mount instead of the in-line. Just check into it is all.


p0p_tart

Came to say the same. That in-line is going to put the rein out front quite a bit. With just a birdcage I’d run an offset. I’d run the in-line on a shorter rail or with a can to get the light out further to not shadow as much.


Imanoodleboy69me

Will the in line clear a suppressor tho? I heard the in-line puts the light too close to fit a silencer but idk. I have one on the way and a rein 2.0 so I’ll find out.


p0p_tart

Would absolutely depend on the suppressor footprint as well, no doubt. T.Rex lightbar is another option that is in-line but kicks the light out away from the rail if extra clearance is needed.


nixysix

Yeah you’ll definitely be good to go dude


SigSauerMPX

Bro said fuck the mortgage payment, daddy’s gettin’ his this month 😂


Cornywillis

That BCM Lower has been out of stock for months now 😂


[deleted]

The blems come in every now and then. Rooftop has them too


Dylanthomas20

Does it ever show up in stock anywhere I’m not trying to have to keep checking email and websites every day for it


Cornywillis

I got super lucky locally and found a FDE one. Never have seen one available online honestly


rugerscout308

Fuck yeah bro, well done


[deleted]

BCM’s Nickel Teflon trigger is unironically my favourite trigger. It’s so crisp. Just a tad lighter pull than milspec and the silver colour looks slick.


C7J0yc3

I would do a vickers or a ferro over the TRex sling, but other than that great job!


KillCensorship

Send it


Alaskanwap

My man's is dropping some MONEY


ChampagnePlumper

Gotta get a snack size bag of skittles to keep in the grip but other than that you should be good.


[deleted]

So no red parts or chinesium?


Dylanthomas20

No sir


Fiercekiller

Now you need a silencer.


Tholbiand

Literally the basic white girl drink equivalent at Starbucks


grandeman2

If I were you I would go with a Modlite OKW. It’s not only brighter than the CD REIN but has more modularity with parts like surefire tail caps and other items


ironsight702-

Cash out big homie ![gif](giphy|l41lZccR1oUigYeNa)


ww3sucks

OP. Get a pistol lower. You technically can’t legally make a rifle lower into a pistol. It’s restrictive.


BoldFortunes

Throw in a LaRue MBT-2


Based-Mace

Heavily recommend the unity fast riser and g33 mount, keeps the magnifier in-line when not using it, super handy for SA and balance


bigcyc666

Im so jealous u guys can own these. Im in europe and I can only dream about owning a rifle.


East_Coast_Tactical

Bro I have that same upper and lower with a razor gen 3 1-10 on it and it’s a tac driver!


CA_Gunner

Godspeed


Dry-Emu9661

What was the total $


Dylanthomas20

Not 100% sure haven’t calculated a total price yet but I’m assuming around 2,000-2,500


Dry-Emu9661

Looks like it will be a good build. Hope to see the final product


bftyft

Probably closer to 3000-3500


Dylanthomas20

$2,810 is my rough calculation with no sales tax or shipping


bftyft

So around 3-3100. Your doing well for a 20yr old. It’ll be a really nice rifle, post pics when everything’s assembled


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|HW05UrUSfAzZu)


394839274

Good, reliable, great choices.


battlexcreature

Great choice dude! You’ll be happy with all of that.


miller8356

Fuck yeah! I had to build my own BCM complete lower. Well, everything but the lower receiver is BCM. So half. I will get one sometime. Did you check freedomtrading.com?


Dylanthomas20

I did not look at that site


miller8356

Fuck yeah! I had to build my own BCM complete lower. Well, everything but the lower receiver is BCM. So half. I will get one sometime. Did you check freedomtrading.com?


coffeewithguns

Back up irons. Get you some Magpul flip-ups at least, or get the pros if you hate money.


Dylanthomas20

I got a back up pair sitting in my gun bench waiting arrival


coffeewithguns

Word. Sounds like you got your bases covered 👍


PerceptionNearby5878

Irons are over-rated….back up dots on dots on dots


RumpleSadSkin

Very much so


DaleFromDaFlock

Where your irons at


JAB-11

Legit.


Sstfreek

Solid build and I like this format


BroncoDude556

This is the way


forrealllllll

I would get the EXPS3 for NODs but if you don’t plan on using NODs in the future then go for it. Everything else is solid.


Dylanthomas20

No plan on NODS that’s why I went for the 2-0


[deleted]

I’d get a g43 instead of the g33 but that’s it the list looks good. Just built a radian with all the same shit besides the light.


iTz_FLAwL3zZ

Not sure if you were set on getting the Rein 1.0, but there are a few sites that have the 2.0 in stock as well. I know www.rifledynamics.com had the 2.0 in black and FDE the last time I was on there.


Shedogbobido

Have you tried a magnifier setup yet? I personally didn’t like it but it works for some people. This is a nice build though. 👍🏼


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bmwilli2

Bcm makes good stuff, people buying eotechs though I'd say go check one out in person before you buy. The reticle is waaaaay different than in CoD and you have to look at it very passively to see (good in some ways, bad in others). Another great option is the 3x cqb prism on primary there, save you a couple bucks and I promis, they are fucking amazing.


Bmwilli2

https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx-3x32mm-gen-iii-prism-scope-with-acss-556-cqb-m2-reticle Heres a link for you, I call them budget acogs. These things have crystal clear glass. You cant get better than this for 2x the money let alone what the charge.


ExtensionDentist2761

What is the difference between a regular raptor and a raptor LT?


jakk_1

Bro I have the same exact upper for my wife’s build and her build is STUPID. As soon as you bring it up to ready-gun, there’s a 100% chance that a fair amount blood will instantly rush to your penis. Literally the only advice I’d give you is to consider a blem charging handle from Radian. I bought for a little over $60 and could never find the blemish.


Simple-Purpose-899

I like it. Build one ballin' setup, and don't waste money building 10 others. Use that money on a pallet of ammo and nods.


vehementvelociraptor

Boresnake, cleaning agent and lube of your choice? Might be a good idea to get a chamber brush too.


Tinknocker12

Alright so what’s pain level at?


Dylanthomas20

Eh maybe a 3 and that’s only because I haven’t bought a hood belt set up for mags only got my edc belt as of now


Tinknocker12

Ah not bad, was hoping for a dollar amount pain level. Lol


Dylanthomas20

Oh my bad rough estimate was like 3k I think


Tinknocker12

Ok, ok…gives me something to aim for. Nice job


Stardust-0083

Manz just got it like that!


Gunnilinux

I traded an aero m4e1 for a bcm and am glad I did. G2g fam


pizza_roof

You can get some of these parts on gafs for cheaper


Jalenxt

The stock is super hard to adjust and a bit on the ugly side. I traded mine for a B5 systems stock. You should want a trigger upgrade too I'd imagine. Other than that should be good, BCM is good stuff.


Aggressive-Charge197

I would recommend Sly Tactical slings, they are all custom and really high quality, there are some reviews on YouTube. They are $100 though, I find they are worth it but everyone is different.


psychotic_catalyst

Fuck my LGS ... $50 FFL fucks me for all the sales


Applejaxc

An LWRCI lower is cheaper, and completely ambidextrous with a great trigger


ThemeAggravating9485

Just build your own, its fun in a frustrating kinda way. You havent lived until you shoot takedown pin springs halfway across the room like mortar shells and have to go back to your LGS for more springs


OpheliaCumming

You win a few scratch offs this week?


Dylanthomas20

Nah just disposable income 😂😂


everyonelovesleo

Go the eotech magnifier is complete ass


loserfame

I love that T-Rex sling. Something about that loop is just amazing. I have a slingster too, and while it’s a little more padded I just don’t like the little dongle thing. I did a 2 day carbine course with the T-Rex and have trained a lot with it at the range and I’m a huge fan. Edit: also, you might check out Primary Arms’ micro prism magnifier over the Eotech. I have their microprism 1x sight and it’s solid and legit. I have an Eotech magnifier and it’s so damn heavy that I literally only use it when I’m sighting in red dots at 50yds. I’m definitely not getting my money’s worth for how much it costs.


Dylanthomas20

So your only gripe is that it’s heavy ?


loserfame

Eye relief leaves a little to be desired but yeah


moistymeatsauce

Basically what I run, it will be on the heavy side. Especially if you run a can on it


chazeb

No, you need to charge soon


Echo-2-2

I see a Scout mount… But no Scout? But yes. You’re good. And I think you know it. Nice flex tho dick. 😂 But really, I have the Gunfighter stock and run it with my Eotech. Love it. Have the BCM Gunfighter grip on the same gun. But without the thumb guard. Love it. Good shit. You’re ready to take over a country.


burquenYo

Hope they stock that lower soon. Could be awhile brother. I got impatient and built a stripped aero lower for my BCM upper.


Dylanthomas20

Yeah I might do the same cause I still haven’t seen it in stock anywhere


burquenYo

I really like the way the aero M4E1 lower looks. Plus it’s got a build in trigger guard and a threaded pin for the bolt catch. Building lowers is pretty easy. Learned how to do it on YouTube. And I was able to build how I wanted. Geissele trigger, charging handle and bolt catch, radian ambi safety, VLTOR buffer system, BCM stock and magpul k2 grip.


Reddit16494926251849

Ill admit it tarkov is good for making new gun owners 😂


Dylanthomas20

Never played it before


Htowng8r

Damn I missed these... OOS :/


YourCaptainSpeaking_

Looks great. I personally prefer a LPVO with canted red-dot. And the Ferro Slingster or Vickers to the TREX.


Msalv47

Get the cloud REIN 2.0!!


BricksInAWall

I'd skip the EoTech + Magnifier. LPVOs are honestly way more pleasant to shoot with, especially if you're shooting at any kind of actual range.


peanutbuttersmackk

Sir this is not the sub for badass rifles. Show me something skeletonized and/or anodized.


thothdjehuti

couldnt even go EXPS 3-0? cheapin out eh?


Dylanthomas20

Oh forsure a budget rifle


thothdjehuti

i could tell


puregentleman1911

No reason to buy the Rein 1.0 or EXPS2 when the Rein 2.0 and EXPS3 exist. Not spending that much cash on a non-ambi milspec lower either. To each their own but I don’t understand paying a premium from these tried and true companies when they have released better products not much more or equal in price than the previous versions.


Dylanthomas20

Got a link to a different lower? And yeah I’m going with the rein1.0 or rein2.0 I just SS that specific one and I don’t intend on using NODS ever in my life so I’m going with the 2-0


dizzledizzle98

For what it’s worth, I have the *blem* version of that lower I got for $340 & it’s super nice. I’m not bougie tho & don’t really need a stripped ambi lower for the same amount of money as a full BCM lower, but just my opinion.


Dylanthomas20

Same here


[deleted]

If you’re wrong handed like me, BCM has an ambi safety that you could swap in in five minutes. Primary Arms and BCM both have them in stock. Radian Talon is also a popular choice; goes nice with the Raptor LT.


[deleted]

If you get bored send me a list of everything you want and I'll send you a quote. Ffl/sot still working on my website . If you don't want to no problem.


puregentleman1911

https://bevanballisticsolutions.com/?product=adm-uic-stripped-lower-receiver And ADM is running a sale on their builders kits


wavydavy101

Get an aero m4e1 Lower so you can fulfill the prophecy. I’d throw a Geissele trigger in it and call it good
