Hello everyone! I just wanted to share a few pics of my very first AR build. I never owned or fired an AR15 before so i told myself to really get to this platform, i will build one myself! Well, 2 months later i ended up with this....
Thanks for looking! |

Use [ img ] and [ / img ] around your pics to post 'em (no spaces, of course).

Only thing to that list I would have added (if it was mine), and this is coming from a lefty, is a Battle Arms ambi safety. BTW: What sort of glass are you consdiering?

Lefty shooter here as well! My plan was to go with the battle arms selector soon as i felt the ambi one that came with the cmmg LPK was a little boring. As for glass, i might go with an Eotech 512 or similar with a g33 magnifier or just throw on a Vortex strikefire 2. I'm still very undecided on optics at the moment. I'm open for recommendations!

My glass recommendation is a Holosun HS 503C. You get the dot/circle reticle of the EOTech in a aimpoint-micro sized package and the solar panel gives it near infinite battery life, all for a little over $200 on amazon. They also have an EOTech clone for $300-ish. Holosun is underrated IMO. They're not junk despite the price. I plan to get one for my build once I can scrounge some more money and am debating a magnifier. The InRange guys on youtube have decided to use them for they're What Whould Stoner Do project, which is an endorement for me.

Welcome to ar15 and nice build! Have plans for the next one yet? So do I. I would love to do a flat dark earth build! Maybe carbine length? I would love an A2 style front site on my next build with the shorter handguard. Maybe a pistol or SBR after that! Quoted:
