The "Modern" AR thread.

[Bulls-I_24]

My local shop had a couple cases of the CCI AR tactical, I may pick up more today, although I would like to find some more mini mags. Both my AR's have unpinned FSB, the Bushy having the ARMS flip that is clamp on and the M&P has a cheap low pro with I believe 2 set screws with loctite. I havnt had any problems but I havn't shot enough .223 to be able to tell.....I doubt the .22lr will budge either of them
I I'm currently in the tool and die business and the p.f. dowel pin holes we ream are either to size or .001 under, same with th guide pins, sometimes the pin bores are .oo2 under and we put the pins in the freezer. Those dies exert a lot af pressure and the dowles and pins never have a problem moving or coming out...I guess my point is the FSB must be really tight cause I also tried pushing them out on a small hydrolic press. I know if I had a dedicated fixture for holding the upper the press would have worked. I think its more of a job security thing for gunsmiths az they don't want "bubba" working on their rifles and getting hurt?

I also think the cut down FSB is better than anything you can buy. Having tried the alternatives several times, I finally accepted that "Bubba'd" is better than store bought.

I'm often surprised at the number of guys who will slag you for cutting a pinned FSB down while preaching the use of a set-screw or clamp-on block. It's a critical point in the whole AR system and the pinned FSB isn't going to let you down!

I have used clamp blocks with no issues and the set-screw block is fine if the barrel is dimpled.
