AR-15 (and other variants) questions, answers, bullshit

[Dukestaco]

Ok need some advice. Susan and I are going to the NRA benefit dinner with the Pink Pistols. As part of our "Donation" we each get Complete .223 Wylde or 5.56 parts kits in either rifle or pistol configuration plus stripped lowers or 80% lowers plus router jig. I am thinking the Wylde is a better option my question mostly is get the ready to assemble lower or go with the 80%? Thanks!

Get the stripped lower and the Wylde. The Wylde will shot both 223 and 556. It can handle the higher 556 pressure and better accuracy when you use 223. It's the best of both worlds in a hybrid barrel.

Thanks! Might take a pistol version and rifle

I think the terms are being confused. I 'think' 223 Wylde means you can use 223 or 5.56 ammo.
I'd go stripped lower.

Thanks!

Some bed time reading for you. https://www.ammunitiontogo.com/lodge/what-is-223-wylde/

Why are they advertising things as 223 wylde???? That has always confused me. It is just a different chamber which can shoot anything from 55,77,and 80 grainers accurately. I have had Wylde chambers and CLE chambers(which are tight) and some NATO chambers and you just load or find the ammo the barrel likes.
Guess I would never do well in the marketing world, can't bullshit like they can.

@Itaro

Thanks for dropping off the trigger.

I installed it this evening and dry fire compared it to my Geissele.

They are both nice.
The Larues reset feels a little more delayed but the Geissele also has thousands of rounds on it.

@Migraine I found a forward grip for your build. I know it's not how you roll but looks functional.

Sadly they would probably qualify as a vertical forward grip. Now THAT would be great to argue in court. Could you imagine the judge’s face?

Ah another weekend of firearms sales emails that are tempting AF, another weekend surviving the urge to drop more money on my AR

Anyone interested in an 18” barrel? Standard profile CHF 1/7” twist double chrome lined?
From what I could find it’s probably made by FN for Rainier Arms:

I have two. One is new still in package, the other has about 500 rounds through it
