My Bastard AR

[kev74]

For the last couple of years, I've been accumulating parts with no clear direction in mind, other than trying to get decent quality parts on the cheap.

Here she is in all her trashy glory - a mishmash of parts from a bunch of different places all crammed into a rifle. I'm taking it out tomorrow to seee if it goes bang, then I'll find a scope. Weeeeee!

 

[Eddie Gunks]

Have fun!

Have fun!

Thanks!

I see you have a Maxine Waters magazine installed.

Goddamn NY rifles are FUACgly.

 

[meketrefe]

It looks fine to me. Enjoy it!

 

[Marine Cpl]

Paint it. I'll look better. Here are some examples.

I like it, what kind of sights are those, I am starting a featureless build. Trying to determine if I want a spur of thordsen stock

Just some no-name irons i stuck on there for now. Glass comes after I know all the pieces will play nice together.

Its safer that way. If it saves just one kid...

Nice, I think I'm going to get flip ups that I can move over to my shtf AR to compliment my glass. Just not sure which set

That way I can take some carbine classes and get used to them first

Where did you get the non threaded upper?

I assume you mean the non threaded barrel? Options are still surprisingly scarce. I know the klubfunstore guy in Henrietta who has a shop out of his house has had them in the past. Cheap, too.

Big mystery until you built it. Part of the fun. Enjoy. I think changing out the hanguards will work wonders on that profile. UTG pro has a nice selection of drop in slimlines.

I picked the upper up at a local shop. Someone bought the rifle and traded back the upper. I guess they wanted to make it unsafe(?).

I was thinking about going with a larger caliber, but couldn't pass up the deal. Plus, I've got the NYGF lower coming that I'll have to deck out.

For a solid set, it's hard to beat the Magpul MBUS line. Troy also makes very nice stuff from what I understand, but I've never used any of their iron sights.

If you're going to compliment a scope, the 45 degree offset sights are my personal favorite. For a Red Dot or reflex type I like the flip ups co-witnessed to the optic.

That stock hurts my eyes to even look at. Honestly. Beyond butt ugly. That thing is the Sandra Bernhard of rifles.

 

[Airborneguy]

Does NY law address folding stocks? I can't remember.

 

[Bushmaster]

One of them there NYS rifles.... Deserves a Tasco scope. Put a bayo on barrel mount, hang gun on wall with this sign hanging from trig guard..

Not on that...

 

[JamieZ]

Last I remember, folding stocks are against NY law.

 

[kev74]

Yay! It works!

Those iron sights are hitting about 3 feet high at 100 yards. I guess I'll have to work on that. I think I have a nice little 1-4 scope somewhere that will fit nicely on it.

 

[JamieZ]

I would think you would want your iron sights sighted in at 25-50yds max but what do I know....Just thinking iron sights for close up shots, woodchucks only a few feet away etc etc

Guess it depends primarily what you use the gun for,,,,,,me, yotes and chucks and maybe deer hunting next year,,,,,,just not a fan of deer hunting,,,,sitting there waiting for them to come to you.


Turkey, yotes, chucks and geese is what I like,,,,things you can call for or target shoot (chucks)

50 yards is pretty standard, but that's the beauty of it, you can sight it in for whatever and look at a drop chart online to know your bullet path.

 

[Airborneguy]

Military does 25 meters, but I switched the 50 yards over the years for my adjustable iron sights.

yup. my scar 16 iron sights are calibrated for 25m/300m zero. so sighting it in at 25 allows me to use the turret as it was designed. problem is the lowest setting on the turret is 200. so it kind sucks at 100 as the bullet is over 6 inches high at 100......

for all my other irons i do a 50yard/200ish setting.....this way the drop chart is like +/- 2 inches from like a few feet to out over 200y

@kev74 sight it in at 50.

It's the most common and probably most practical compliant stock/grip option out there right now. We know it's ugly and not ideal, but that's been the case for years now, surely you've seen many like this before right?

 

[Marine Cpl]

If the Thordsen was an original design and later some dude added a pistol grip, there would be people on here saying that the pistol grip looked stupid or that they didn't like the grip angle.

I try and shield my eyes from them. Once you see it, you cannot un-look it. It's worse than a rusted out Yugo.

What NY has aren't laws. More like concentration camp rules.
