Anyone ever had an AR that occasionally won't come out of battery?
My RRA LAR 8 will run fine, sometimes for five rounds, sometimes for 50. But eventually it will lock up, sometimes on a spent casing, something if you drop the bolt after removing an empty mag. I've replaced the firing...

Was on another forum and saw someone selling a vltor stock they had rit dyed from fde to od. It looked good in the pic, but I'm curious how well it would wear.
Anyone have any first hand experience doing this?
Given how cheap lowers have gotten unless you want the challenge of finishing it or the ninja status of a completely off the books gun it's honestly pointless to finish it in my opinion. For what the tools would cost or what it would cost to have a manufacturer finish it you could buy several...

I may have something you need
