Adams Arms 5.45

[CS1983]

Traded out my Ak-74 for an Adams Arms 5.45 upper. I'm using plain old 7N6 and have been impressed with the accuracy. It's just as accurate as any rack-grade m4 using M855 as far as I can tell, and it spits em out at ~50-60% of the cost of M855 and similar. Sitting on a Sundevil lower with a Geissele trigger and a CTR stock.

This is at ~25m w/ irons... have yet to test it with an optic for accuracy at 100m.

Flyer was called.

Great round for the money.

I predict rioting and jihad in your future. [Flower]

why would you purposely antagonize them?

Luckily, I have an app for that.

why would you purposely antagonize them?

As Christopher Hitchens brilliantly outlines in this video link, anything not in total agreement and capitulation "antagonizes" them. In fact, merely saying Motard ain't a prophet antagonizes them. Per their political doctrine under the guise of religion, anything against them is cause for violence. It would be beneficial to the survival of the Western milieu to just stand up to them and quit nodding our heads in tacit agreement to our future beheading.

Just clean up your targets and pack out the trash when you are done. [Coffee]

Be safe.

Did you need to use the power spring with geissele trigger with the surplus ammo. I have the same set up. Just haven't tried the geissele hammer spring to see if it works with surplus. Thanks

Hope you stole that roll of toilet paper

Good job on the target and great idea with the caliber. I built one on a S&W upper chambered in 5.45x39 as well and it's a great little gun. The ammo is becoming a little harder to find, but it's still priced way better than .223. I kept my AK-74, though. I guess my idea was to keep some similarities in caliber between firearms so I don't have to stock up on 10 different kids of ammo...... also upgraded my trigger too. Nice work!

Ghettoblaster what trigger did you go with and do you still use the power spring for surplus ammo?

This is the trigger I used:

ALG Defense Trigger. I think it took something like 20 minutes to swap it out and yes, I kept the spring for the 5.45x39 surplus ammo in there. I guess that means I've got two extra .223/5.56 springs laying around in my box of treats but who knows? Maybe I can incorporate them into my next build!

[mestes]

Ok. That's what I was wondering if you were using a power spring. Thanks

[ghettoblaster]

Ok. That's what I was wondering if you were using a power spring. Thanks

my thought there, whether correctly or no, was to use that spring with the ALG trigger rather than throw in a much more expensive trigger that doesn't allow you to use the spring that came with the upper. I wanted to make sure I kept everything to exact specifications in case it had an effect on the action and caused problems.

Ya I was having issues with mine. Since its a piston upper and has a spring in the bolt I was getting soft strikes even with the power spring. Figured my buffer spring was giving me bolt bounce back. Flat wire sping and should have the issue solved. Haven't been out to test it yet but will post if it fixed my issues.

[mestes]

The geissele trigger and springs work on surplus without the power spring. All I needed was a flat wire buffer spring to eleminate bolt bounce back
