And the collection grows.

Well today I am celebrating the arrival of my 16-in ZEV upper!!!!

This thing is absolutely amazing the machine work is phenomenal and I am just absolutely tickled the bronze barrel is a way more subdued golden hue then I thought it would be.

Absolutely tickled.

Wow. Just pretty shocking at what you find on the internet and both of these uppers are like hens teeth because I can't find any just by themselves you can only find the total rifle build only.

Oh wow... LoL. Ok

Well I am really torn because I just want to squat and hang on to the entire pile.

Well it has a little bit bigger of a barrel and the muscle device is a little longer however the extreme weather coating and the barrel coating as well as the barrel being fluted...

Honestly enough I think I'm just going to have to keep these. Yep super excited and tickled.

556 I have the new Zev upper. And I'm going to be getting the 10.5 in upper as well hopefully tomorrow.

300 blackout I have the 16 in PSA upper as well as eight and a half inch PSA upper.

Then I have the wonderful 458 so come upper and the 458 socom upper project!!!

Well I think other than a 22LR upper and maybe a 450 Bushmaster and 350 legend upper, I might be finished.

Oh wait I take that back 762x39 Soviet as well as 5.45 Soviet are definitely high on my list along with that 450 Bushmaster and eventually a 22 LR.

Then we're talking additional sites magazines and ammo for All the above.

Maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead... And I am definitely ahead today!

Sort:  

I can only imagine how much fun it is to shoot with these!

Oh I've got them and no ammo... One day. But stockpile for aliens. Or the rampaging T-Rex....

I just want a deal on a 7.62x39 upper.Short stroke piston instead of gas impingement, if possible. My wallet hates my ambitions here though.

Piston is way better. For sure. Do it and cry once and be happy forever.

I would go to Bear Creek arsenal and they have an amazing one. If you are careful you can get it on sale for $239.

My Bear Creek arsenal 458 socom is so awesome!!!

The only other issue seems to be mags. 7.62x39 has a very aggressive case taper that wants a more aggressive mag curve, and the larger diameter of the round itself makes feeding out the front of a standard .223 mag problematic. Not that I have mags or rounds on hand to check before writing this post or anything. Pure speculation. ;)

Going with bear creek and their gen 2 enhanced 762x39 and their recommend mags? It works like a clock.

Well worth it.

Kak is another one.

A few manufacturers make them but then it's more.propriatary of a build if you don't know what's going on.

Yeah I'm regretting selling my custom dead nuts reliable build for $650 that was awesome upper.

The Zev is nicer but I do regret...

Congrats! What optic are you going to use on there? If you want to keep spending money, optics are a whole 'nother money pit. You can always spend a little (or a lot) more 😂

Well I've got an ADM QD mount with a crossfire ii BDC reticle scope.

6-24 power.

And I've got the 507c reddot with cowittness mount. That's $400 plus. Qd mount as well. It's awesome. And I can swap out short range to longer optical scope of needed.

But what am I doing with them? Lol

I just got a cheapo LPVO to go on an AR-22 just to try it out. Fuckin money pit :)

Best money pit ever.

I love my addiction. And I do everything that I can to enable myself and putting money into my investments and continually growing them.
