Bravo Company is advertising a new stock. Not sure on reviews on it yet. I'm a Magpul guy.

Did you need a barrel wrench for the upper?
I'm not that well-versed in stocks. I don't care much for collapsible's. I like the ACE Skeleton stocks and those go for about 100 bux I think. Vltor seems to be well-respected. Maybe check them out.
This AR shit can cause an addiction real quick!
It's brutal.
I got my gas block today. Incredible how such a small piece of metal costs over $100. Somehow being adjustable doubles-triples the price. Must be the hex wrench that's included jacking up the cost. :icon_lol:
Besides making your wallet and bank account smaller, what does this gas block do for the AR?
This particular one mainly pretties it up with the extra biohazard logo. :icon_lol:
Seriously though, it helps move the gas from the barrel through a tube and back to the bolt carrier. The adjustable ones let you work it more like a piston setup. Word is AR's are purposely overgassed in order to maintain reliability, at the cost of comfort and wear & tear. So instead of bulking up on buffer weights and things to overcompensate for the overcompensated gas you can simply lower the amount of gas used to cycle the action. I'm still learning about this stuff. I love the internet.

Why did you buy the Adjustable gas block?
They are useful when you're shooting suppressed, (cuts down the dirty blowback on the bolt)
The Sarc is about the only one worth getting, maybe. Expensive though, goddamnit.
I've got a can, but I don't feeling like buying another POS part for this fucking gun of mine.
Have you shot these things yet, or you still farting with pieces and parts?
Is your barrel stainless too?
Picking out muzzle devices can be headache worthy.
Agreed. I can't find the Effin A in stainless so I think I'll go with the SJC Titan instead. Near as I can tell the top tier devices are pretty similar performance-wise and much of the preference will boil down to tastes and appearance. Looking at videos, the Titan seems to keep the muzzle flat. Buncha bullshit that the stainless version is $30 more.
Where do you shoot? Buy a flash hider as well to use if you are at like actual ranges. The titan, pri, fortis, lantac dragon, JP, battle comp, etc(I could probably list 20 more) all have a large very loud concussive blast. So they are not range friendly, it's mostly a courtesy for the people next to you.
I'm convinced that if I do ever come around and buy an AR, I'll be getting a piston one.
I'm pretty happy with my Scout so far, but I have this irrational desire to Magpul the fuck out of something.
