"Custom" fit RE using an angle grinder:

Wow, you've got skills Markm. A little Sharpie touch up and you'll be ready to send that in to the Discovery Channel. Maybe you can get a part as the next "new guy" in the Red Dragon shop, or whatever they call it.
Oh wait.... that isn't yours is it.:haha:
Seriouslu though, what kind of issues did that end up causing for the owner?
Isn't this the same idea but a different thread? https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=75393
Scratch one buffer tube.
Speaking of buffers, is that a diagram of a female Klingon reproductive system on the front of it?
Looks like a tread that's going on over at arfcom. Markm, did site staff ban you from arfcom?
I used to have an Ameetec complete lower built like that. (Got it for a great price.) It looks ugly but I couldn't see that it harmed anything. What is the harm from this bubba type approach?
So if I am reading this correctly he possibly notched the tube, screwed it in and then because he didn't know how to assemble it correctly grinded the tube down.
Simply amazing. Almost as good as building a mid length by pushing the gas block forward and installing a new gas tube.
Just when I think I'm going to turn over a new leaf and stop being such a dick to n00bs, something like this comes along and reminds me how I got this way.
I simply don't understand why someone who openly admits to not know what the **** they are doing would get out a bench grinder to fix a "problem." If you run into a "problem" while tackling a project you've never done before, it might just be a good idea to make sure you're doing things properly.
This is like changing the brake pads on your car, sliding the new pads in, seeing there's not enough room to fit over your disc, and then taking a bench grinder to the piston in your caliper to make room instead of pressing it in... :rolleyes:
And... This thread is NOT started to create trouble with the other site.... it just happened to be where I found the issue. We certainly have our own batch of idiots popping up here lately too.
The point is too many people who are messing with AR builds when they shouldn't be.
Can you clarify what they did with the grinder? I am trying to picture my buffer tube and buffer and what possible reason any of that would need to be grinded??
What a dumb ass....he should have just removed the retaining pin like I did...
I guess the simple instructions that come with RE/stock kits was too much for his limited reading ability.
:no:
I've been too close for comfort with something like this. A couple years ago, Bubba and his son come in to get help sighting in their deer rifle (Remington 7400 MALF-omatic) I'm like, "Ok let me be the nice guy and help them out." I touched off the '06. The scope hit the deck. Afraid that this guy was going to be pissed that I just dropped his scope, I was like, "Man, I'm sorry, what happened." He replied, "Oh, don't worry about that, I lost the screws for the base, so I just superglued it on.":eek:
I just seriously can't imagine what some people are thinking. Oh, and since no one's mentioned it yet, gotta love the, "so I drank another beer and got out the angle grinder." from MARKM's post.
The step by step instructions on the Brownell's site could have saved him quite a bit of time and probably shown him how to properly install a few other things.
Found the thread. It appears the guy was drinking when he decided to pull this stunt. :alcoholic:

Can someone please tell me where to find this, because THIS I gotta see.

Is it just me or do certian brands seem to attract a higher level of "ratards"?
There is so much information about AR-15s out there, why on God's green earth would you ever even think to grind a receiver extension like that? ****.
These people are shooting next to you at the range.
Everyone was thinking it....
I went to TOS to find the thread and instead I end up finding a thread about using two castle nuts rather than one so you may not need to stake and I really just have to shake my head.
I am seriously concerned about the mental health of the AR community. It seems as if everyone is a caveman and wants to reinvent the spark.
I saw everything from Loc-tite, to just tighten it and be done and nothing will happen, to using some goop found at the Roswell crash site. Simply amazing. :suicide:
:eek: I am at a loss for words.
That's horrible. Can somebody post some links to those threads?
They should be stickied...
