I am hoping the Mods will leave this in AR Discussions. These threads are fun on other sites, for different interests.
Rules: Post a mod, repair, upgrade, etc. that you performed on your AR today. Please post a picture whenever possible. I will start. Removed the 16" SS upper from my LRB lower, and assembled a C7 upper with a pinned Colt 14.5 barrel. I installed a RAS, LMT rifle tube, and an A1 stock and grip. Then *gasp* I painted it  This is my first AR that I have painted (of mine), so this is a big deal for me. It is also my only fixed stock.

I changed out the grip to a Magpul K2....still thinking of trying a "K" grip. I wish they would make a K+ or even an SL+
I also order a few goodies: A Magpul Pro LR rear sight and a Troy folding front sight (HK style) that will house my chevron front sight post from Blitzkrieg Components. And then I went in the Recce Pic Thread to inquire about bipods. I'm trying to build a "Poor Man's Recce". |

Still painting, just got the first coat on it: http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h385/alaskaLTZ/IMG_2476_zpsz8zffowc.jpg Looks damn good. I didn't do shit to my AR's today, but I am overdue for another spray. |

Placeholder for tomorrow.
Turned one of my BCM 14.5s with KMR into a "BCM M4A1 Block II" this afternoon. Really digging it due to the weight (or lack thereof  ).

Hence why I put the "BCM M4A1 Block II" in quotations. Close to what a current Block II can look like, but with a KMR instead of a DD M4A1 RIS II. Similar to my "CQBR Mod 2" that has a 9.5" Geissele MK4 handguard instead of a DD MK18 RIS II handguard. I've now created a lighter version of each configuration.

Good idea for a thread.
I finally replaced the crap scope mount on my Armalite M15 National Match rifle. I usually shoot it with the carry handle sights or an ACOG but still like to mount a scope with more magnification once in a while. I hated the mount I had for this rifle so I hardly ever used the 4-16 Weaver C16 scope on it. It made the scope too high and too far back for proper cheek weld and eye relief. I bought a ADM (American Defense Manufacturing) Recon mount just because I wanted to try one. I'm liking it, it places the scope perfectly and looks good too. Very solid and strong. I do like LaRue QD levers more than the ones on this mount. These work fine though. Now I want a better scope! (it never ends) Pic with ACOG  Old crap scope mount  Scope with new ADM mount  |

Just screwed this together Thursday evening, and shot it Friday for the first time.
First 3 shots out a new barrel at 100 yards. 
2nd 3 shot group. 
Had fired 3 shots of fmj ammo at 25 yards after bore sighting, to make sure I was on paper, and another at 100, before testing my favorite reload for accuracy. So what I did to it yesterday, was just clean it. |

I went to the range with my new M16A1 and XM177E2 clones and loaded up some mags and busted caps. Got the M16A1 clone zeroed nicely and ran about 100 rds thru it to break it in a little, did a hasty zero on the XM and ran 50 rds thru to check its functionality.
