What have you done to your AR(s) today?

I was originally going to cut down a spare gov profile colt barrel I had but came into to the factory 11.5 with pinned GB for a good price. Downside is the factory 11.5s have a gas port around .073ish, but I had an extra BRT .060 port from an old project.

Tapped the GB for 8x32 and threaded the port in, no issues.

Nice job, that sounds like a solid set up. Those BRT ports seem like they work out well.

Got the lower/upper/rail back from cerakote only to realize I had already used my last decent trigger. So thumb twiddling until Wednesday.

Bolted a new red dot sight on my AR6951. Tomorrow I'll sight her in and do some shootin'.

Mounted a Nikon Black 1-4 scope using a 30mm Aero SPR mount - actually got the scope level on the first try (not a given with these mounts).

Swapped it onto my 16" BRT AR and took it to the range for zeroing. Scope is very clear and appears to be a true 1X, but the "speed force" reticle took a little getting used to. I do like the 2 MOA center dot for 100 yard shooting at 4x.

I primarily wanted to ensure there are no issues with the scope and there are no concerns there. Probably the best $200 AR scope with illumination out there.

I did manage to find a round the BRT/Sionics BCG/H2 buffer would choke on - some factory second Fed 55 gr. frangibles. They were too weak and caused short stroking and failure to lock back. Too bad, I thought they may be useful for shooting smaller pests with reduced ricochet risk.

I spent FOUR HOURS cleaning my main AR. I've had it 20 years and it has never been so clean. I was outside listening to the ball game (11 innings). So I was cleaning almost the whole time. I don't think there's even so much as a virus on the bolt or carrier. It would pass any DI's white glove test.
