Hey guys,
I just wanted to share my AR build with all you AR lovers. I wanted to build something that is absolute tack driver and something that looks good =) with good quality parts and build right. =) So after some research and visiting LGSs and touching/trying a few key parts I have started getting components for this build. I will update the thread as I have more parts coming in and as parts will be put together. Rainier Arms/Shilen Ultramatch 18 inch 1:8 twist 223 Wylde Chambered SPR profile with Rifle length gas. RA Billet Upper/Lower Mod 2 Combo. Raptor Charging handle. RA Bolt Assy. Syrac Gen II Adjustable gas block and Rifle lengh Gas tube. This is all the parts that I have now. Waiting on Free float hand guard and parts for lower =) Stay tuned for more good parts, updates and build pictures. I am very excited about this build. I have few tools on its way to assist with my build (I like good tools). And here is some gun porn for you.

Looks like a good start! Did you try using the link codes from Photobucket? |

You have chosen well.
Rainier is a top notch company with great products and quick shipping. My precision .308 is centered around their match barrel and is a tack driver. I'm building my precision .223 on their lower as well, but went with a Stag 3G 18" barrel I got for $150 on Black Friday. |

I saw that barrel too! But I really wanted to try 223 Wylde Chamber and Rainier Arms had great deal on it for Black Friday plus they are local to me. Man do they have Nice Store! I wanted to buy everything!

Today my mail man brought me a box with Block Worx upper vice block by Spikes Tactical.
Great solid quality tool. Upper fits nice and snug and optional upper block slides on the flat top rails and clams sideways in the vice for high torque barrel removal/installation.

I completed my Upper build. Here is some info and pictures =)
Upgraded my vice to 5 inch. =) Lapped Upper receiver and it was in spec with no need of lapping. Great quality Billet Upper! Installed Barrel with some Aeroshell 33MS (If anyone needs some I have whole tube of it) torqued and properly clocked the barrel nut. Barrel came pre dimpled with one dimple. Made second dimple for Syrac Gas block. Fortis Rev 14 hand guard.

Today I completed my build with Bobro Mount install with Falcon Menace/BSA Tactical 4-14x44 FFP Mil-Mil Scope (EDIT: this is my back up scope. I am waiting for Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-2C MRAD to arrive from SportOptics.com) and MSP Anti-Cant Device.
Bobro makes amazing mounts, very solid, beautiful machining and great quick disconnect design. Also shown is Atlas bipod with QD option. (might add Atlas rear stock support later if necessary)

Really nice rifle
Where did you buy the Bobro mount? |

100% Badass rifle.
My only critique is why a flat trigger shoe instead of the SSA-E? |
|

Flat trigger feels amazing. It reminds me of flat trigger on 1911 pistols.
Nothing wrong with curved, I wanted to try one on AR and it feels good. |

Awesome looking build. The Bobro mount, Fortis rail and Raptor really complement the Rainier lower. Great pictures too.
I'd like to see how a Lancer clear mag looks in it.

Great looking rifle. One question though.... why the cheap scope?

=) thats where I ran out of money =)
I had that one as a spare and it will work for now. I will run it through its paces and see how it does. |

So?! How's it shoot?
Looks great! You can certainly improve on the falcon, but you may not need to. From what I've read, they are a solid value optic. |
