View Full Version : Built my first AR Zombie Squisher
A couple months ago it was my bday and I was thinking wut should I do/buy for myself and I decided to get some things that was totally unlike the stuff I normally get like stuff from Pandora and kitchen stuff, etc.. I still got those things but also got some stuff purly for it's awesumness factor as well like some guns. I got a .22 and a .17hmr little badger rifle first and then I started watching the walking dead for the first time and saw them using those AR rifles so I thought I should have one to so then I started watching youtube videos about it and stuff and learning that are the good things to get and all so then I started looking for wut I wanted to order for the parts and OMG that was sooooooooo hard cause first I was looking for the middle(upper/lower)part and I am pretty picky about the way I like my stuff to look cause I really want things to not look ugly or too boyish or scary and it seem like all those parts have skulls and spiders and just look ugly but I finally found one at PSA website that didn't have any dumb logo with nice curves and stuff that didn't look like the typical middle part and it cost over 300 dollars but I thought well I can't find anything else so I ordered that one and that was how it alllllllllll started cause then I got ants in my pants so much cause I would order sometheing and a couple days later I order some more and a week later I order more so a project I wanted to last a year turned into two months. So here's all the pictures of my build process.

In b4 the storm.
Welcome to M4C!
In all reality, looks interesting. Not very aesthetically pleasing.
Considering it sounds like it may be your first AR, you may have wanted to purchase factory. But, Kudos for successfully completing your build.
In all reality, I hope people aren't hard on you, it looks cool, just not how most of us woulda done it.
By the way, the magpul, in your last picture, should be more like:
This way it gives you more material to Pull the Mag. With the Magpul.

Please give me all your comments and suggestions and critiques please

How is it not aesthetically pleasing? I think that is in the eye of the beholder cause I think it looks great and so do my girlfriends. I dont like the all black guns cause I think they look ugly and scary so I tried to make it two tone or 3 tone. I had origionally wanted the lower middle part to be tan but it only came in black and it cost like 50 dollars for a can of that duracoat stuff and i don't wanna spend that just for one little part but I think it would look soooooo awesumer that way. But tell me wut isn't looking nice to you? I think it doesn't look as bad and mean since it's not all black, I think it looks like a good AR like an AR heman would use.
and purchase a factory AR? are you kidding? I think I saved so much money doing it this way. I bet I would have gotten nowhere near the quality or look I wanted if I had done that then I would have needed to spend so much more just changing stuff out to make it so I did like the look of it. and wut factory AR should I have gotten? a "budget" AR? you know those cheap ARs are comprised of very low end components that they buy even cheaper in bulk and put the rifle together for maybe 2 or 3 hundred dollars so if you buy a cheap 500 dollar rifle you're actually buying a 2 or 300 hundred dollar one cause like everything wutever company needs to make a profit. So I'm very against "budget" ARs for that reason and others.

WTF is going on here?
Is this the final outcome Youtube and FB provides?
5 quarts of Mobil 1. Trash in every picture. Firearm posed in every f'in room of the house.
Claiming, repeatedly, to be a girl.
Does the ATF even try anymore?

How is your post relevant to anything? I think you're revering to one of the last pictures where you can make out some oil that isn't really the suject of the picture but just so you know I'm big into DIY and fix my own cars and even my friends. I watch how to do it on youtube and just do it and save money! I've changed hubs, axles, radiators, fans, belts, sparks, everything all by myself too and yeah AND I'm a girl with an awesum zombie squisher! I do have a lot of guns cause was in the military for over 7 years and got out recently.
I don't see any quality parts used except for SpringCo and BCM extractor upgrade. I would have gotten a Colt 6920 for $700 and called it a day. Did you use proper torque requirements when assembling??

So you don't think strke industries and odin works are any good quality?
You don't think my custom middle from PSA that cost 350 dollars isn't any good quality?
Yes I have all the tools and I know how to put together an AR
You must think because I'm a girl I don't know crap like most guys on these forums
You know all you need to do is watch a howto video on youtube and you will know what needs to be done so it's so easy

This should answer your question to me.
Off to a good start around here. Assuming that, one of the nicest posts I could provide by simply stating it wasn't aesthetically please, was rude to you, you really won't like what the others are going to say.
I was polite, you're not being so much. You ask for critique, you're getting it.
... I just deleted more text than I ever should have written after the last sentence. In interest of being polite, I will just leave it here.
ETA: Nevermind, saw this Gem here and had to reply:

You know, all you need to do is read some forum topics around here to realize we're not much for SI, though many use it, it's not anywhere near this forums "Quality" standard.
And no, we think that way because you're being combative, poorly typing, and acting like you know everything here in your first 10 posts. Reevaluate yourself and this community please.
Also, just a PSA, the other one... Public Service Announcement: PSA is considered junk by many around here. I own a PSA upper on a Anderson lower with a PSA parts kit. I am not one of those people. But, your 350 dollar receiver set could have been a BCM... See my point here? Probably not.
What're you trying to do with this rifle?
well I don't understand all the crap I'm getting about using strike industries stuff. They make the parts that really have no impact on the actual fuctions of the gun. It's a buttstock, it's a tube, a bolt switch, a dust cover so relax and so wut if it's strike industries? Just like magpul crap it's made from plastic. Tell me, wut kind of butt would you prefer I have? wut kind of dust cover? one of those ugly plain metal ones would be better? Strike Industires is really all about looks, most of the stuff they have is attachment and stuff to make it look neat anyways so saying I have bad quality parts because it's strike indusstries I think isn't really saying much and I'm wondering exactly wuts so wrong with it? do strike industries buttstocks crack? do their dust covers pop out and break? wut happens? maybe people could tell me that stuff besides saying my SI stuff isn't good cause this is the first time I've heard of this. So I'm guessing you would have no problem wth a magpul buttstock? so wut's so different from the magpul stock and the SI stock? I'd like some more educated critiques please

Nothing really besides squishing zombies if I ever have to.

It's a buttstock, it's a tube, a bolt switch, a dust cover so relax and so wut if it's strike industries? Just like magpul crap it's made from plastic. Tell me, wut kind of butt would you prefer I have? wut kind of dust cover? one of those ugly plain metal ones would be better? Strike Industires is really all about looks, most of the stuff they have is attachment and stuff to make it look neat anyways so saying I have bad quality parts because it's strike indusstries I think isn't really saying much and I'm wondering exactly wuts so wrong with it? do strike industries buttstocks crack? do their dust covers pop out and break? wut happens? maybe people could tell me that stuff besides saying my SI stuff isn't good cause this is the first time I've heard of this. So I'm guessing you would have no problem wth a magpul buttstock? so wut's so different from the magpul stock and the SI stock? I'd like some more educated critiques please
Uh uh, not going there. My wife already tries to trap me in that question.
In all seriousness, I am done feeding into your questions. Read more, type less until you have a bit more understanding of our community. Or, there is Arfcom, those guys will love another woman on there.
Nonetheless, thanks for sharing your build. I liked it, except visually, until your personality got in the way.
ETA: For the record, it hasn't got anything to do with your gender, skill level, nothing like that. This community accepts a TON of people. Even with your build, you will get some rough comments, but some good critique and reasoning. Had you opened with: "Why is SI not liked, I have only heard good things." instead of quoting Youtube and other melarky while trying to justify your spending, we would be more keen. We don't care about what you paid for, what the material is. Whatever marketing justification you may have. If you want the truth, don't be combative about the answers you receive.

well all I wanted to know is why you don' t like the look of it cause everyone I know likes it plus I've posted my build on numerous forums since I started it and everyone there liked it so since this is the first time I'm hearing it I just wanted to know some specifics and saying it doesn't look good doesn't really tell me much. And saying SI isn't good quality seems like a mute point when the products used of so insignificance to the actual performance. I think it's just purely preference of look/style when it comes to buttstocks and dust covers and buttons and switches.

You're on a forum that's not built for that. We don't look at AR15s as accessories.
They're hard use tools. Quality reigns, as it's our life that depends on it. This forum isn't geared for the general enthusiast, it's more for those who want real answers, about real topics. Nonsense is just that around here: Non-Sense.
I didn't like the triple tone. Had it been a tan handguard, it would have been more aesthetically pleasing. I never made a comment about SI in my post, just that it's not regarded as "Quality" for us. In fact, I never even mentioned quality in my first post.
I have SI grips, SI QD plates, I use it on some of my builds. But, again, I put my components through paces, or try to, not use them as trophies or display items. I have plenty of other guns for that. (That's why it was asked: What are you going to use this for? As a Zombie/wall gun, go for it. For a true SD, Home defense gun, Many will balk at this.)
Again, be receptive, don't take things personally; or you won't like it here. We're to the point, and sometimes hard on eachother.
Well I want it to look pretty (which I think it does) and I want it to work good so if I wanted to use it for defense it would be no problem. I've only taken it to the range 2 times so far and only to try to adjust my gas block and have been having a hard time getting the bolt to lock back consistently. Sometimes it does but many other times it won't no matter how open I have my gas block even. So I just thought about maybe it's that sprinco blue spring so I ordered a white one from sprinco that says it's standard type and I just got it in the mail todeay so I'm gonna install that and try it again. The range makes you buy their fragment bullets so they were saying maybe it was because their bullets arn't making enough pressure but noone else that shoots ARs there have that problem but I really think now I just had the wrong spring, maybe that blue spring would work great for normal bullets but it has trouble with the range ones so this white spring I think should make it work. Buuuuuuuuuuuut when I was shooting even though I was havn't issues with my bolt locking back it would fire straight and smooth as butter with absolutely no recoil or muzzle rise which may have been due to my blue spring, I donno.

Okay, last try...
If it's not locking back and giving you gassing issues, even with an adjustable block, you shouldn't rely on it for SD.
Try the spring, but check your gas block alignment too. Make sure everything is tightened down. If you didn't use threadlocker on the Gasblock it can easily come loose in the first few heating cycles it experiences.
Open your gas block fully, load one round at a time in your mags, and cycle the gas block closed (one increment at a time, firing a round at each increment) until it won't lock back, turn it two times back (open) and that's your setting. If you use weaker ammo, it will give problems with Adjustable blocks on occasion unless you leave them open enough for your weakest load.
As for the pretty comment, again, we're not here for AR15 necklaces. Just because the sling goes over our head, doesn't mean that it's primary function is to look good (it is however a bonus). If you want that, it's not here. Sorry, being blunt, but being honest.
Last post for a couple hours.

Remember it's not the weapon that kills the zombie, it's the bullet.
The zombie does not care what your gun looks like or how pretty/scary/badass/expensive lookng it is. All he needs to know is that little .223 projectile is going to make him have a very bad day. And a single shot Thompson Center pistol with the right training can do that.
So getting hung up on "how does my weapon look" is pretty meaningless. Does it get the job done before the zombie does his job on you? That is the only relevant question.
All else is comfort and vanity (mostly vanity).
I can't wait to get back to the range and try it with the white spring! They are out of bullets though and have been for a few days so I hope they got some now cause I wanna go like maybe tomorrow or this weekend. I just finished summer school or I have more time to play now!
Please, convert this thread to a poll, so I can vote "Troll". There is too much going on here not to be. Who was recently banned around here that would be back?
