@ChrisLeathal I have about 200-300 rounds of brass through it. No issues. I also have the same set up with a RRA lower. Total cost was 579. I have close to 600 round through that one. It can be seen in my ar15/ak74 vid.
I read the comments wrong haha...I saw the prices next to the upper and lower, then I saw "Meprolight 21" and I was like "wtf?" (thought it was $21)
At first I thought maybe it was like a Chinese Meprolight knock off so I watched to see where you got it from...then I started to wonder how much I'd trust Chinese Tritium lol
I have the same AR combo. I have beaten the hell out of it and it just doesn't quit. I've yet to have a malfunction, stoppage or anything. No parts replaced. I went with all cheap, durable gear and I just can't break it. Great AR you've got there.
For roughly the same price, you could have gotten a spike's lower instead of some shitty plastic lower. AIM has spike's lowers for $79, and you can get lower parts kits for $50-60.
@DragunBreath There is nothing wrong with a polymer lower. Just as durable as anything else. I'm an army infantryman, and even I don't have a problem with em. Don't be elitist.
@Strelnikov10 - has nothing to do with being elitist. And polymer most certainly isn't more durable than hardened aluminum or steel, that's just plain physics. Last I checked, the military isnt issuing polymer lowers.
@DragunBreath It's plenty durable for the job. No, the army does not issue polymer lowers. They also don't issue the most top of the line gear either. They are a slave to their contracts. I would have no problem taking my PCF lower to afghanistan. I beat the shit out of it and just can't brake it. In fact, I've had more problems with my COLT at work than I have with my civilian plum crazy, and I baby that Colt. There are always great solutions out there for those who cant afford the elite.
@Strelnikov10 - Ok, well you obviously have a hard on for plastic, so whatever you say hoss. If you want to trust your life to it, you go right ahead, I'll stick with metal.
sup darque, just curious to what made you decide to build a m4? i know you're an ak guy. nice rifle by the way... interested in that meprolight i might get one. any reason why you went with that instead of trijicon?
@eggmansizzle Its specifically chambered in 5.56 nato. I choose not to go with the 223 (cmmg ) chambered upper due to the surplus millitary ammo that i use.
I am considering getting the Meprolight 21 to mount on one of my AK variants. I have watched several of your videos and am wondering why you chose the AR platform for the reflex sight rather then AK.
did you get the upper from weaponparts . com ? one of my AR's is the exact same build you got, after the carry handle I paid $540, might wanna stick with 223, I noticed the 556 has A LOT more recoil comin through that polymer lower. I dont bother making AR vids because they are a dime a dozen on here
awesome vid... always informative! and you show whats really out there not just a top name brand junkie. plum crazy never heard of it but i will definitely do my research. keep up the good work.
Great build you got there! Plum Crazy have been making the polymer lowers for about 2 years now and are getting great reviews. Just make sure you inspect it often for any stress cracks, etc. Thanks for sharing and posting.
Where did you buy it at??
