Here are some pics of my 1st AR build. Let me know what you think:

Specs:

AR15.com lower (number 69

)
Daniel Defense Lower Parts Kit
CMMG 16" MidLength Upper. Chrome lined 1/7 barrel and chamber
LaRue Tactical Padded 2 Point Sling
Magpul MOE Grip Flat Dark Earth
Magpul CTR Carbine Stock (Milspec) Flat Dark Earth
DSA Milspec Buffer Tube Kit
Magpul Flat Dark Earth Magazines
Midwest Industries Emergency Rear Sight

I plan on either getting an EOTech 512 or an Aimpoint for the optic. I already have an EOTech on my other AR, so I am leaning toward an Aimpoint

Tag for when I can work on it. I've still got a built lower at home that's waiting on an upper.

ETA: But I did just notice that the OP has the serial # just above mine.

Ummmm.... I must have missed it - where might an interested party obtain one of these highly useful items?

ETA: Also, who is doing the manufacturing?

Finally!!

Sorry for the crappy pics. I will update on Monday after I take it for a test spin this weekend.

There was only 150 made... hopefully it was a "first run!"

I'll be along shortly to plop my pics here. I just got my Arfcom lower today, waiting for a few more parts.

ETA, Ok here it is

#137

Starts off with the AR15.com lower, of course

Add an RRA LPK, an RRA 2 stage trigger, a Hogue grip, a Magpul extended trigger guard, and a Magpul UBR.

Stir Gently.

Once properly mixed, install a Bushmaster Varminter Upper, which comes with a 24" fluted heavy barrel, 1/9 twist, free float handguard, and BCG/CH.

Support your delicacy with whatever bipod you can afford, my currently depleted wallet could only afford a Rock Mount 6-9"

Top your creation with a Leupold VX II 3-9x40 mounted in a Larue SPR 1.5 (#104) scope mount, garnished with Butler Creek flip caps.

Add 20 round Magpul Pmags to taste

Here's the best I could do for pics.

(Wow, looks like I should have wiped down the gun again, I left fingerprints and oil all over it...

)

I received mine last week...had a couple questions but don't want them to come across like a bitch or dump fest. My AR15.com lower appears or feels like it has a chalky, dull look/feels like thin anodizing or finishing. Anyone have tips or process for deepening the finish or getting matt finish on it after deepening the anodizing? I may be just used to a differnt type of finish as my other two builds were 1) a SunDevil - Nickel Devil coat and 2) Mega Machine Billet upper/lower set.

Thanks,

Lee

Oil it up real good. Mine looks alot better after I did that. I don't think you'll have the "shiney" look or feel your talking about, though.

Mine had a slight purpleish tint to it, compared to the upper I paired it with. I gave it a healthy bath in weapon shield clp before I installed the LPK. Now it matched almost perfectly. The upper I used was a no name BCM upper.

I'm just going to have my dealer look over my form 1 before I send it in... I still haven't built the first one I got, but the second just arrived and is going to have an LWRC PSD upper on it to start with (once I've got my stamp)
