AR-15 Tactical:
Welcome to the site. This site is for the shooter and fan of the Colt AR-15 Sporter and its clones. Whether you want to build your own AR-15 by selecting and installing every single part yourself or just do some simple upgrades like replacing the trigger or adding a caliber conversion kit AR15Tactical.net is for you. For the purpose of this site our primary focus will be on topics related to the AR15 based on the 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington and caliber conversions that are compatible with a 5.56 based lower receiver. This will include rimfire,handgun,6.8 SPC and .458 Socom calibers. AR type rifles based on the .308/7.62 sized receiver are being handled by our sister sites 308AR.com and 308forum.com
Thanks - Andrew
The Nikon M-223 2-8x32 riflescope was put through a vigorous test by a Field & Stream panel of judges and awarded "Best of the Best" for 2010. The staff of testers agreed the M-223 is innovative and the absolute best in optics.
Recognizing the popularity of AR rifles, Nikon has developed a new line of riflescopes built to deliver extreme speed, accuracy and shooting confidence. The M-223 line offers five new riflescopes, all engineered for the .223 Rem./5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain polymer tipped bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3240fps. With Nikon's latest reticle and adjustment technologies, the M-223 integrates the same level of quality as the flagship Monarch riflescopes.
"Field & Stream's "Best of the Best" recognizes outstanding products in our industry," said Jon LaCorte, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Nikon Sport Optics. "We are thrilled our M-223 Series was selected as Field & Stream 2010's "Best of the Best."
The 2-8x32 is available with Nikon's all new BDC 600 reticle or the Nikoplex reticle with Nikon's new Rapid Action Turret system; both are ballistically matched to the 223 Rem. round and offer unprecedented speed in dialing-in your shots for virtually any known distance-from 0 to 600 yards.
The M-223 2-8x32 comes standard with Nikon's Anti Reflective Device (ARD) to eliminate objective lens glare. MSRP is $349.95 for the 2-8x32 with BDC 600 reticle and $329.95 for the 2-8x32 with Nikoplex reticle.

My good buddy Rob turned me on to an amazing group buy over at arfcom. The group buy was taken care of by the fine folks at SKDTactical. If you happen to be familiar with the Aimpoint CompM2 you probably know that it costs $475 just about everywhere. Well the purchasing power of this group buy allowed SKD Tactical sell the Aimpoint CompM2 for $380 delivered. I received my unit in less than a week. Of course now I'm not certain whether I'm going to use the Aimpoint CompM2 on an existing gun such as my FS2000, the AR-15 from the Sporter project or on the new 6.8 SPC II build. Regardless It will be going in a Larue Mount. Pictures and a review will follow shortly.
Ruger SR556 Chambered in 6.8 SPCII
Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. (NYSE:RGR) is pleased to announce the new Ruger SR-556/6.8, a new chambering in the popular SR-556 two-stage, piston-driven, AR-Style rifle. The new SR-556/6.8 brings the power and downrange authority of the 6.8 SPC cartridge in a two-stage piston rifle that runs cooler and cleaner than traditional gas-driven, AR-style rifles.
Packaged with one five-round magazine and two twenty-five round magazines, the SR-556/6.8 is an ideal hunting rifle for those who appreciate the versatility of the customizable and ergonomic AR-style platform. The 6.8 SPC has ample power for hunting medium-sized game, and the greater muzzle and downrange energy enhances the capability of the SR-556 in defensive or tactical roles as well.
The SR-556/6.8 retains all the features of the original SR-556® that make it an outstanding value in the AR-style rifles. The patent-pending, two-stage piston delivers a smooth power stroke to the one-piece bolt carrier, which softens recoil, aiding both shooter comfort and durability of the rifle. The four-position gas regulator allows the shooter to tune the rifle to the ammunition being fired and environmental conditions present. A chrome-lined, cold hammer forged barrel provides accuracy and longevity, Troy Industries Folding BattlesightsTM, Quad Rail and rail covers add considerable value to the package, as does the Hogue® Monogrip®, six-position stock, sight adjustment tool, and the padded carry case, all included with the SR-556/6.8.
The SR-556/6.8 maintains the mid-length gas system and the heavy (.850") barrel contour under the handguard of the original SR-556. The 1:10 twist barrel has a standard SAAMI 6.8 SPC chambering, is 16.12" long, is threaded 5/8-24, and is capped with the effective and distinctive Mini-14/SR-556 flash suppressor. The SR-556/6.8 weights 7.75 pounds without a magazine.
For more information on the SR-556/6.8 or any of the other rifles, pistols, or revolvers offered by Ruger, please visit www.Ruger.com, or see your local firearms dealer.
Anderson Manufacturing Introduces AM-15 Series of Rifles
AR Style Rifles have never been more popular or more abundant. It appears that every manufacturer has their own version of this reliable action. So why would a new company choose this time to enter such a highly competitive market? Because they can produce a better rifle of higher manufacturing quality with an innovative feature that sets it apart from all other AR Style rifles.
Anderson Manufacturing Company is a state of the art manufacturing facility with more than thirty years experience. Anderson manufactures receivers for their AR rifles in a forged option or as a machined billet. All receivers are manufactured to 100% mil-spec with hard anodized 8625 F finish, 7075-T6 Aluminum. All tolerances are held to strictest match grade levels.
In addition to the rigid quality controls of manufacturing, the feature that sets the Anderson AM15 Rifles apart from the masses is the proprietary RF85 TREATMENT allowing Anderson weapon systems to operate efficiently without traditional "wet "lubricant.
In a coefficient friction test performed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the reduction of friction on all steel surfaces was reduced by 85% -- without traditional wet lubricant, hence the name RF85. An RF-85 treated weapon cycles faster and more reliably, operates at cooler temperatures, experiences significantly less wear and, without traditional wet lubricant, doesn't experience failures due to excess dirt and carbon fouling in the action. According to the Oak Ridge Testing Report, "There are several advantages associated with friction reduction in general, two of those being heat reduction and increased component life." Another huge advantage offered by the RF-85 Treatment is incredibly easy cleanup and dramatically reduced carbon fouling.
The RF85 treatment process has been used successfully in other industries: motor racing - extending the life of racing rear end gear sets, showing less wear, less replacement, reduced oil from five or six quarts to ONE quart and lower heat build up; Metal-working cutting tool applications, increasing cutting efficiency and tool longevity; and in the Medical Industry, specifically Orthopedics, where traditional non treated cutting tools generate excess heat, leading to post-operative complications. These previous experiences and successes in high heat, rapid cyclic situations, makes the RF-85 treatment process a natural fit for the extreme duty requirements of the AR-15 Rifle. With the ANDERSON AM-15 RIFLE treated with the RF85 PROCESS, the gun NEVER needs to be cleaned with cleaning solution - only wiped out with a moist cloth and then dry cloth. Repeat - the action of this weapon NEVER needs to be cleaned in the traditional manner with harsh, smelly solvents and should NEVER be oiled. Simply clean with soapy water and a nylon brush, followed by thorough drying with a clean cloth. DO NOT OIL.
The ANDERSON AM-15 line will initially be offered in four models: • HEAVY BARREL CARBINE - 16" 1-8" twist barrel , optics ready picatinny rail, front mounted low profile gas block with picatinny rail, standard handguard. Available with FORGED or BILLET receiver. Comes with 20 round and 30 round Mag-Pul magazines. 6-position adjustable stock.
- M4 CARBINE - 16" M4 barrel, optics ready picatinny rail, front mounted low profile gas block with picatinny rail. Available with FORGED or BILLET receiver. Comes with 20 round and 30 round Mag-Pul magazines. Mag-Pul MOE stock and MOE pistol Grip. Quad-rail forend.
- HEAVY BARREL TARGET - 20" 1-8" twist heavy barrel w/target crown, optics ready picatinny rail, front mounted low profile gas block with picatinny rail, floated handguard. Available with FORGED or BILLET receiver. Comes with 20 round and 30 round Mag-Pul magazines. Mag-Pul "PRS" adjustable stock. Wilson target trigger.
- HEAVY BARREL VARMINTER - Same as PREDATOR except 24" Fluted Barrel.
I picked up a CMMG "SIERRA" .22lr dedicated upper this week. Check it out here.
If you can identify this .22lr conversion unit please drop me a message through the contact page. Thanks
Now that the Colt Sporter Tactical Upgrade project is complete I have started to gather parts and a plan for the next project. This project will be a 6.8 SPC II build which centers on an Adams Arms Mid Length Gas Piston System.
GG&G has offered flip up lens modules for many EOTech sights for quite some time. I have also wished for a while that it was an option for my 557AR223. Unfortunately the 557 AR223 hood design didn't allow for the flip up module to be installed. Well I'm here to report that GG&G has solved this by offering a new hood with the flip up lens module installed. GG&G also etched the hood with windage and elevation marking. Lastly in a fashion similar to a land mine the front lens cover is engraved with "Front Towards Enemy"

The little woman did some birthday shopping for me at Brownells and I ended up with this awesome Adams Arms Gas Piston Retrofit. This was the nudge to to send me in the direction of the 6.8 SPC II build mentioned above. I'm anxious to get this installed and running.
This is too cool not too share. I was browsing Amazon.com and noticed there are skins for just about any device in the Camo of your choice. Below are examples of an iPhone and Android skin in ACU Camo. If anyone reading this buys it I would love to see user images and feedback. Click the highlighted links or the images below to see the vast options available.
I think I need a new phone.

A leap forward in camouflage technology smartly breaks up the silhouette of America’s most popular M4-Type Carbine. The Bushmmaster M-4-Type Carbine in A-TACS is now available. For more information check out www.bushmaster.com.
This particular upper was designed with a midlength gas system, which gives you multiple advantages over the more traditional carbine length gas systems. A midlength gas system is longer by 2” allowing a longer sight radius between front and rear sights for easier target acquisition and also giving you more available rail space to attach tactical gear. The extra length also means you can have a more comfortable shooting stance because it allows you a longer reach. These tactical uppers retail for $999.
These uppers come equipped with:
- 16” midlength chrome lined government contoured barrel
- 1:9 right handed twist
- Midlength free floating quad rail
- Adams Arms midlength piston system
- Adams Arms receiver with M4 feed ramps
- A2 flash hider

Every week I wait in anticipation to see what Brownells will be adding to their catalog. Today did not disappoint with the PWS DC-16 Complete Piston Upper being at the top of the new product list.
Drop-in ready upper receiver assembly is the fast, easy way to convert your AR to a gas piston operated tactical carbine with a low-profile accessory rail system. The DC (Defensive Carbine) uses a "long stroke" piston to reduce felt recoil and provide smooth, consistent cycling for more comfortable shooting, faster return-to-target for follow-up shots. Improves reliability, too, by keeping carbon fouling out of the receiver.. The quad rail system clamps the barrel securely to the receiver to produce an ultra-rigid, yet compact platform that keeps the piston system properly aligned. Provides over 40" of accessory mounting space, including 16" of uninterrupted top rail that extends forward of the gas block. The bottom rail and each side rail has a receptacle at the rear for push-button, single-point sling attachment. Comes with plenty of Magpul XTM™ rail covers to cover unused portions of the rail. The cold hammer forged, chrome-lined 16" barrel is chambered for 5.56mm NATO ammo, with M4-type feed ramp cuts in the barrel extension to aid in reliable chambering. A PWS FSC556 flash suppressor/compensator minimizes muzzle flash and counteracts muzzle rise, further aiding in fast follow-up shots.
Tactical Solutions dedicated .22 LR flattop upper allows live-fire training with affordable rimfire ammo while retaining the weight, balance, and feel of your rifle. Replace your existing upper with the AR-22 upper, insert the included Black Dog .22 LR magazine, and you're ready to shoot. You practice with your existing trigger and fire control components, so the trigger weight and pull feel the same. The mil-spec exterior has a standard MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, charging handle, forward assist (non-functioning), and ejection port cover. Inside the standard bolt/carrier assembly is replaced by a dedicated "bolt rail" of hardened tool steel with a blow back operated stainless steel bolt inside. Both components are built to run hard and handle the abuse of long practice sessions. M4 has the appearance and weight of a USGI M4 upper, with correct contour barrel, standard M4 handguard, A2-type flash hider, and a gas block/front sight tower with bayonet lug, sling loop, and square front sight post. LT has a lightweight, free-floated aluminum barrel with a button rifled, 1 16" twist chrome-moly steel liner. Muzzle is threaded to accept any compensator or flash suppressor that fits an AR-15/M16/M4. The included screw-on muzzle cap with a built-in 11° target crown gives a clean, finished appearance. The Hogue machined aluminum mid-length forearm has bands of aggressive knurling to give you a firm grasp

Brownells has begun stocking many AR-15 products from A.R.M.S inc.
   
Adaptable Carbine/Storage (ACS) stock is a drop-in replacement for standard USGI M4 collapsible stock that gives the tactical operator extra storage options, a secure, comfortable cheekweld, and an advanced dual-locking lever. Smooth, streamlined exterior contours prevent snagging on clothing, sling, or vegetation, and helps ensure fast exits from vehicles without snagging on gear.
Removable battery storage compartments run the full length of the extra-wide comb and hold 2 AA or 3 CR-123 batteries, while providing a wide, contoured area for an exceptionally solid, comfortable cheekweld. Secure molded rubber caps keep water and dust out of compartments and face the rear of the stock for easy removal; cap exterior is beveled to resist snagging when shouldering weapon. Positive-locking trapdoor on right side of the stock reveals a roomy storage compartment for additional batteries, coiled up cleaning cable and other cleaning supplies, ear plugs, spare parts, or other small items.
Magpul's dual locking system uses an additional cam lever to protect the release lever from accidental operation, yet still allows you to adjust length of pull by simply pushing on the release lever. Slot molded in the toe provides an attachment point for a 1 1/4"wide sling. Also includes the same detachable rubber butt pad found on Magpul CTR and UBR buttstocks to help keep stock firmly mounted on shoulder. Fits mil-spec 1.14" O.D. receiver extension tubes on Colt-manufactured M4 and similar mil-spec tubes that accept both four- and six-position collapsible stocks.
As of this writing Brownells has the Magpul PRS OD green in stock for the AR-15 and in black for .308 AR's . Click here
We are going to kick of this site with our first AR-15 build. This first AR-15 project nicknamed "Kita"will be built with long range shooting in mind.

The rationale behind the choices will be included as well, whether it be price, quality, availability or all of the above.
Below is a list of some of the specifications I have in mind at the moment
- 24" bull barrel- Stainless fluted
- Free float handguard's
- Single stage trigger in the 2-3 pound range
- Flattop Upper receiver
- Bipod
- Ambidextrous adjustable stock
- Ambidextrous safety
I've been playing around with Brownells AR15 builder to develop an image of what this project will end up looking like. Ignore the cost listed, I paid no attention to the internals. Click the image below to view it full size.
If any readers have hardware suggestions or any other helpful information please drop us a line through the contact page.
Brownells has just delivered the much anticipated AR-15/M16 catalog #5 and it doesn't disappoint. The catalog features many items not yet listed on their web site. You can order one free right here. You might as well grab the Law Enforcement catalog too. Click the image for ordering info for all their catalogs.
Well we have been busy doing our part to keep the economy afloat with gun related purchases. Besides boosting the economy our purchases will provide content for this site. So to that end we have acquired (2) CMMG MOD4SA, (1)DPMS LR-308 stripped lowers, Bushmaster lower parts kits less the trigger and pistol grips for the CMMG's and we are waiting for the same from Fulton Armory for the DPMS LR-308. In the optics dept. we bought a Laserlyte bore sight kit. C Products is selling magazines for the LR-308 for about $22 so naturally we ordered several of those. Ammunition to Go has come through with some Lake City XM855 62gr. Penetrator Ammo (LCM855B)
Check out the images of the lowers for a size comparison. Click on the images for a larger view.
 
Update: May 12, 2009 we should see the delivery of a CMMG stripped upper and a DPMS LR-308 A3 flattop stripped upper. Pictures shortly. We have also ordered a 24" ER Shaw Extra Heavy Fluted 1:8 barrel. Delivery will hopefully be this century.
