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

Put them in the pistol grip and tape it shut?

Canadian practice has the grip stuffed full of cleaning kit. Most of their guys I've asked say they keep spares in waterproof bags in their LBV's, but I like to try to keep as much as I can of the essentials to keep the rifle running stuck right onboard just in case I don't have time to play dress-up before Go Time.

Could just hang one of these off a sling swivel...

Tony Cowden, in his shy way, recently demonstrated taping batteries all over his gun with duct tape.

Camo duct tape? Or the glossy silver?

Thanks for the link. It's simple enough... I was envisioning silver duct tape all over the place.

Back when I had a vortex sparc I got the rail mounted battery holder, was easy to use and low enough profile to not get in the way. Sold it when I sold the sparc though. Wouldn't mind anither one to hold an extra 2032 or what ever they are for my 1-6x. As for my PRO, I should come up with something to hold a spare on that rifle too.

The GG&G 30mm mount I got with a used CompM3 had an extra batter compartment.

Built out a PSA M4A1 "Clone" Lower receiver with a CMMG small parts kit, Geissele maritime bolt catch, ergo grip, Colt FCG, Tube and H buffer. Waiting on a Colt MK18 MOD 0 upper from Thoroughbred Armament...

Tell me more about this. I’ve got a 300BLK build that I keep having feed problems with. I’ve bought several different buffer weights to try to figure it but I haven’t made it to the range yet.

I know that you are already aware of this, but for others who are not, the AR10 variants are much more picky than their AR15 sibilings. In this case, I had pulled it apart and put it back together 3 different times, and each time I ended up with the same results. Finally, I put the lower next to another lower, and the buffer tube (receiver extension) looked slightly shorter. I thought I had a short defective RE, but when I pulled it out, it was the same size as the one I was comparing it to (and the next one and the next one....). I screwed it back in, and found it could be backed off one complete revolution. I did this, and so far its not had any issues. Pretty crazy stuff.


With 300BLK, the first thing I would ask is what brand barrel you were using, but in an effort to not side rail this thread, I would encourage you to make a post about 300BLK feed issues in my little section and that way others will be able to search for it and learn as well.

I’ll add to this. Got a FDE LWRC DI. Got a great deal on it nib a few years ago. It came with a magpul precision stock. The stocks very nice. But just wasn’t my thing. I got a BCM carbine tube, spring / H2 buffer set. Ordered a LWRC compact carbine FDE stock. I didn’t know what buffer to get but everyone and web site says it’s over gassed and run a H2 . It still ejects at 1:30 - 2:30. I tried a tubbs flat spring ad H3. It did not change ejection. I put it back to what they send out from factory. Standard carbine spring and H2.

I bought another DD Mk18,this one a pistol variant. I put a Surefire Warcomp, Surefire M300, and Aimpoint Pro on it.
