AR-15 thread... I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Can you post more pics how you tied the knots? Or pm me links explaing? I have the same stock and been thinking of doing the same thing.

i unscrewed the butt pad, small screw all the way, big (tube) screw just enough to swivel the rubber out of the way...
made a "J" with the end of the cord, taped the J to the metal but, then wrapped about 6 turns around the metal butt.
brought the long end around to the buffer tube, made a half hitch just to hold the cord snug.

driver's side:

passenger's side:

here's where if you want the spiral pattern, you just do half-hitches all the way down the tube....
where the bent bottom tube meets with the buffer tube will be too thick for half hitches though... you'll have to switch to whipping...

also if you want to replace the stock, or if you need 25' of paracord in an emergency, you'd have to undo all those effin half hitches.....
so i just whip wrapped the buffer tube keeping the wrapping SUPER tight....
i was going to wrap the last turn through the middle and then pick up the smaller tube wrapping in the opposite direction.... but the area is so tight it wouldn't have looked right....
so i went straight from the buffer tube to the smaller tube.... a blade screwdriver helps to get the second layer of cord in there.

passenger's side:

driver's side:

keep whipping up the small bent tube, half hitch at the very end to hold everything in place, and then whip up the metal butt, make another "J" and tape that one down (keeps the frayed end from coming loos and poking out the side..... or you could melt the cord...)
then screw the rubber butt pad down to hold everything in place....

this is the 7.25" Ace entry stock by the way.....
25' just about made it, longer stock.... YMMV....

should hold well enough as is.... if i were to go crazy i might melt the ends and/or use some silicone sealer to hold everything in place....
i'm not that motivated though...

Love that setup!

Nice looking rifles. Looks like your Magpul MBUS sights are on backwards though.

 

[Independence Arms]

most certainly are, I did the same thing when I first put mine on. lol

I noticed that they looked a little different when I was trolling some pictures... I read that they were reversible though?

That's a nice assortment

 

[ph0to]

I posted this here mid-build...but here it is 100% complete now!

 

[ColdDayInHell]

I love that Yankee Hill Diamond. Strip all the tacticool attachments and that's a beast!

 

[retroLS1]

Finally got my AR wrapped up where I want it to be. Added the Primary Arms Compact 3x earlier this month, and got some Magpul XTM rail panels off an AR15.com member for cheap and dressed up the rail - they feel nice as well. Next build is starting soon - Mega billet.

I highly recommend the Compact 3x scope also. Reticle is black and also has 11 illumination settings if you want it lit up (lit pic is only on 3 I believe, plenty bright) - don't mind the blurry/crooked pics.

 

[Sir_Gawain]

Finished my first AR build (well sorta, waiting on my Comps). Very fun and much learned. Also swapped out the barrel on my Piston Riffle to a BCM 14.5" Carbine length. I will be replacing the lower on the Piston Riffle to one of my LRB Arms lowers I got during a group buy so the serial #'s on the riffles will be in succession ie; XXXXX3 XXXXX4.

**EIDT: Went through all the work of taking and posting the pics and i forgot to put my my irons on!

Almost done, swapped out to FDE furniture, changed out the quad rail, and adds some optics.

 

[Kid Presentable]

Very nice! what did you use for the color fill?

Just took home my latest acquisition.

 

[Independence Arms]

Mine is built on a preban lower, so no worries about the flash hider.

 

[Sir_Gawain]

Beautiful. I really love the second one. That stock is MA legal, right?
Wow, I love it. That muzzle brake is MA legal, yes? (It's flash suppressors we can't have, right?)

"stock is MA legal, right?"
You can own any stock you want, it just needs to be pinned to make it MA legal.

"That muzzle brake is MA legal, yes? "
Anything with compensator or brake in the name is MA legal in my eyes.

 

[Independence Arms]

much?

How will I know if I don't ask?

Cut the shit. Everyone started somewhere.

 

[s4mt3k]

no shit... I still need to research to be able to find out what's legal and what's not...

right, and this ibtl and popcorn shit should only be used if you are under 17 or a complete flamer.
