NYS compliant AR-15-question about loading

[Saltwater60]

View attachment 38966 Just a little inspiration here are two I’ve recently built full featured vs featureless . I tend to shoot my featureless more at the range. I usually load all my mags then enjoy shooting and not top loading every ten rounds . Personally I’d rather have at least one AR that functions as an AR should with a detachable mag.

What s opens do you have on those. I need one for the 6.8 SPC I just built. Looking to hunt deer, coyotes, and some wild boar possibly.

Opens ? Lol

State police want you to fill the hole afterwards

Giggity. I bet they do.

I haven't seen it in person yet but a buddy just got a fixed mag. The mag can drop down about and inch but is retained in the mag well, loading is done through a window cut in the right side of the magwell.

I think this is the fixed mag @Cavalry is talking about?

I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a kit that will modify your existing lower into an ARES SCR type configuration. The right price, I would buy one.

I think trigger placement would be the problem? On an AR the trigger is right behind the mag-well, on the ARES it is back away's so you can get the thumb around the stock. ARES does sell just lowers with the proprietary bolt they list for around $600.00 ( I got the whole rifle used but never fired for $600.00)

i built one of my ars using the compmag, really cool concept. only problem with that is shooting bench is a pain in the arse (mag keeps hitting the bench unless you have a really high rest). i ended up selling mine.
also do not over tighten the mag, we had a thread in here somewhere where we discussed about over tightening it when installing.

Negative,
This had a window cut in the right side of the mag well itself. Looked to use a standard magazine with a rivet to prevent full extraction. The mag is dropped an inch or so then loaded through the window.

Okay, I think I may have seen that type also?

I just bought another lower for a build today, I'm thinking of ordering the compmag. Any other issues with it? I don't usually use a bench anyways.

no other issues other than over tightening the mag lock, take a look at this thread, we went over it here

I noticed on their website they warn not to overtighten the mag lock.

For those of you who have built featureless ARs; Most barrels come threaded, how did you handle that? ..... destroy thread with file, weld on thread cap, JB weld on thread cap?

just checked their website, they definitely updated that since I bought their compmag, it wasnt there when i ordered, didnt even have a NY compliant and CA compliant versions. it was just 1 version.

I bought a non threaded barrel from the artist formerly known as bulletguy . You can find non threaded barrels elsewhere too , or weld a thread protector on a threaded barrel.

I haven't done a featureless, but if I did, I would just take a grinder to the threads.

You can buy them from some places. Kind of a pain to find, but they exist here and there.

My primary hunting rifle is fixed mag. I used a t-nut threaded onto the mag release and put a spot weld on it. Kept being told clearing jams would be an issue with a fixed mag. I pulled a bonehead one day and got a double feed. No fault of the gun or ammo, fault of the bonehead function testing. I'm using a P-Mag and it took all of 30 seconds to clear the double feed. Floor plate comes off real easy to dump everything out the bottom, no issues. Might be something to consider, how easy do those other mags come appart?
Otherwise I have no problems and the gun functions perfectly all the time. I pull the rear pin and top feed.
