All I've gotten done so far. I can't find my extended allen keys, so I can't finish assembling it until after I find them and tighten the grip screw... which doesn't make much sense because hopefully by mid-week I'll have the rest of the parts I need anyways.


Plan is:

Lower:
- Spike's Crusader lower
- Spike's LPK
- KNS Anti-Rotation pins
- KAK Shockwave Stabilizer kit (with buffer and all)
- MOE grip

Upper:
- Spike's 11.5" w/ BAR2 rail (got a smoking deal on the assembled upper with BCG & CH)
- BCM Gunfighter Mod4 charging handle
- BCM Gunfighter Mod1 compensator
- Daniel Defense fixed front/rear sights
- Viking Tactics sling
- Streamlight TLR-1

It will serve as a truck gun until my SBR stamp comes back for the lower my 16" upper is currently on... then the 11.5 will go to that lower and the 16" upper will go on another stripped lower I've got. This lower will have a 9-10" upper, likely .300 Blackout, and serve as a truck gun on longer trips. I'll probably save for a T1 Micro and put it on the SBR, and then put my old Aimpoint on the pistol build.

Nice, I love my crusader lower.  I'd have posted a pic but photobucket seems to be having issues.

There's some damn nice Rifles in this thread....

Here's my modest contribution. First AR 15 ever. I was going to get a 7.62x39 AK but my buddy talked me into putting together an AR. Been buying pieces here and there since April 2016 and just finished this.

I'm looking forward to getting out to the range some time in the next few days for zeroing.

Upper:
Colt (I think) carry handle with the IBZ mod.
Aero Precision assembled upper
Alpha Premium Nitrided BCG (Saw this on Slickguns)
BCM Mod 4 charging handle
Faxon GUNNER profile 16 inch barrel
Fulton Armory Power Wedge FSB w/ thinner sight post
A2 birdcage flash hider
Magpul MOE mid length hand guard that I stippled for some extra grippyness. purely functional so I didn't spend too much time making it look nice.  Probably going to get some B5 hand guards.

Lower
Aero Precision stripped lower
Spikes T2 Buffer w/ generic buffer spring
LBE mil spec buffer tube (Still need to stake the castle nut)
generic LPK from MidwayUSA
Nickel Teflon enhanced mil spec trigger from Right to Bear
Magpul K2
B5 Bravo stock that's been spray painted flat black
MOE trigger guard
Magpul QD end plate
Hexmag series 1 stippled and color filled

Quick photos from the back yard.

Lower:
CMT - UHP15A Ambi Lower (Matched set)
BAD- Enhanced Pins Set

I figure for my first post this would work. I like to buy complete rifles and then let the modding/building begin. I love precision shooting more than plinking so my builds tend to err towards the heavier side. I have other weapons for the SHTF and HD needs.

In the twin photo are 2 DPMS based rifles. The bottom has already undergone it's rebirth, though you may not be able to tell. BHW barrel, a new BCG, match trigger, and a mean ability to keep my pet load under 3/8" AVERAGE at 100yds (5 shots off a rest, I am nowhere near that good myself). Many a 'yote, a few deer, and countless rodents have been sent to meet their ancestors with this little carbine. It was built for in brush handling and the ability to push the limit of the round. I want to put some JP goodies on it (MB, AGB, and hand guard) but don't want to chance losing the precision it has.



The top LR308 became the base for what I hope will be a true 1000yd AR. It now wears a 24" BHW barrel, multiple JP parts, and is chambered in .260Rem. The critter in the foreground was from an 814yd shot (it took two to hit). Awesome gun to shoot as you can pretty much watch the rounds' vapor trail head down range with the gas tune, weight, and MB it has. My end goal is to make a 1000yd shot with it on some poor unsuspecting critter.



I also have 6 Anderson lowers in my house for building for my wife and kids. I know they have a bad rap here (well, now I do), but for builds for kiddos to get them an AR, it is enough. Probably glean some ideas from here for their builds though. Pretty much the reason I joined was to pick everyone's brain since I will be left with 2 extra lowers for my own purposes.

Genesis SR-25 80% lower which is already hogged out.
Mega upper
KAC URX4 MLOK (SR-25) 14.5 if it ever comes out for commercial sale or M110K1/SR25 URX3.1
Geissele SD-E
LMT SOPMOD
Either Ballistic Advantage 20" SS or Proof Research Carbon fiber wrap 20" barrel
The new YHM 4302 QD Brake
Vortex Razor 4.5-27 RZR-42705

Everything will be cerakoted in tungsten or sniper grey and if I get the BA barrel, I'll have the gas block journal turned to 750 and the barrel cerakoted black.

I've even considered fluting if I get the MLOK handguard.

That one is going to be a slow mover for next year.

Wow that sounds like it will be sweet. Speaking of going lighter that's my current dilemma,  wait for the Maten SF to come out in 6.5CM or, build a LW upper. I'm sure you'll enjoy the gun when you get it going.

Updated my 7.5" Shorty with the LMT PDW Stock Kit.

Link Posted: 11/3/2016 6:28:05 PM EDT
[#39]
So, I've been away on work in California for the last few months and during my downtime I found myself getting the itch to build another 14.5 Mid-Length. The itch got worse after I started looking into the UIC Carbines from American Defense Manufacturing. Aesthetically, I thought they were beautiful rifles, functionally I thought having a fully ambi lower would be nice as well. Broke out the OD Green AlumaHyde II for the paint as well.


Lower:
ADM Billet Ambi Lower Receiver

Aesthetically, I thought they were beautiful rifles, functionally I thought having a fully ambi lower would be nice as well. Broke out the OD Green AlumaHyde II for the paint as well.

Here's my first Grendel!  I've wanted one for a long time and I finally decided to upgrade the barrel on my first AR build.  It was an 18" DPMS MK12 5.56 that has evolved a lot over the years.  I'm hoping to take this setup to 1000yrds alongside my 308 Savage and I might even haul it around hunting mule deer.  It will definitely be my go-to coyote gun.  Hopefully she's a shooter.  I'll be using 123 SST factory ammo then reloading the brass, probably with 123 SST's and 8208XBR.  I bedded the barrel using loctite and lapped the upper receiver with the Brownell's lapping tool. Painted the SS barrel with Rustoleum High Temp Engine Paint. Just finished!

Specs:
Wilson 20" fluted
AA Hard-Use bolt
Young Mfg Carrier
Geissele SSA-E trigger
BCM Gunfighter CH
Specwar 762 can with ASR flash hider
Troy Alpha handguard
Harris swivel bipod
Magpul MOE Rifle stock
Vortex Viper 4-16x44
Vortex bubble level
ADM 20MOA mount

Nice work. For low light use, consider a red dot and use something like a Streamlight TLR-1S at the 12 o'clock position on the handguard.  It makes activating very easy with your thumb.  Also the optic needs to be in a lower 1/3rd mount.

Very nice.
