Got around to finally take some pictures of my build which I finished in January.  First AR ever, built the upper and lower from scratch.  Hope you enjoy.

Lower:
Surplus Ammo & Arms lower (cheap!)
PSA parts kit
JP enterprises trigger springs
Hogue pistol grip
RRA A2 buttstock & carbine buffer

Upper:
DPMS upper, bolt, charging handle
Model 1 Sales rifle length float tube and gas block
.223/5.56 cal Black Hole Weaponry 1:8 twist 18" stainless standard profile barrel, rifle length gas, target crown

Optics:
Vortex Varmint 50 MM 4x16
Weaver rings

Haven't shot it at a hundred yards yet, but I could easily cover a dime at 25 using some junk Remington UMC rounds.

Pile o' parts

Well, it's not complete yet, as I am waiting for my upper parts to get in, but here's my finished Bushmaster lower. This is what I used to build it:

Bushmaster Lower Receiver
Bushmaster Lower Parts Kit
Magpul MIAD Pistol Grip
Magpul UBR Collapsible Buttstock
Magpul UBR Strike Plate
Magpul B.A.D. Lever Battery Assist Device
KNS Precision AR15 .154 Non-Rotating Hammer & Trigger Pins
Enidine Hydraulic Recoil Buffer

I do like the weight of the lower. That Magpul stock is kick ass and feels like it can do some damage. I will post a finished pic later.

It's finally done (for now ).

Nice AR57. I have a5.7 upper at home waiting on me. I am also using a spikes lower.  How does she run?
Link Posted: 3/15/2012 3:04:09 PM EDT
[#11]
She Run's Great! Only Gripe I Have With It Is When The Brass Ejects It Smacks The Inside of The Magwell And Flattens The Brass Casing! But Other Than That Its Very Accurate, Almost No Recoil.....Just Beware Of Cheap Mags!

Hey fellow,
would you tell me please which of those two pistols you prefer?

I´m not sure which one of these I should buy, especially because of the trigger.


Sorry to the OP for OT.

The top is my knock around gun. i saw dsa had a ar upper that they thought looked like a FAL. i dont think it looks like an FAL but i like having the FAL flash hider and the MOE mid Handguard does resemble the FAL.

The second is a pistol i built.
Everything is DEL-TON except for:
buffer tube is RRA
Buffer foam is Phase 5 (it fits perfect on the rock river pistol buffer)
handguard is CMMG Revolution Free Float ( i was very impressed with this FF)
rail on top is A.R.M.S super extended swan sleeve
Sights are TROY
Pistol Grip is MOE plus grip

And last is my 300 AAC Blackout
Spike's Upper and Lower
Wilson Combat Match barrel and 300 aac ejector door
Leupold VX hog Scope( VERY NICE)
AIM MICRO dot (striped down the cover and duracoated it desert brown so it doesn't say AIM anymore)
Troy Free Float
Troy Claymore Flashhider
MAGPUL ACS stock ,RVG, MIAD grip, Bad lever
Burris pepr mount

Ok, here it goes...
I just finished it off a few days ago and took it to the range to give her some run time and she performed flawlessly
Not a complete scratch build, mainly added on goodies to suit my personal tastes. I was able to get a great deal on a Spikes complete rifle and there was no need to change out their upper, lower, barrel, BCG, or trigger since Spikes makes a great product.
Spikes 16" midlength
YHM midlength two piece handguard
Spikes trigger guard
RRA Smith Vortex flash hider
EOTech 517 - 1/3 cowitness and side controls; now this is one nice sight!
RRA ambi safety
Troy ambi mag release
BCM Gunfighter mod 4 charging handle
Ergo "LMT" grip
Magpul MOE stock
Magpul APG forend grip
Magpul XTM panels
Magpul RSA; I attach a Tuff sling here and it balances out just right.
Magpul rear BUIS *I have an extra YHM rear sight I was going to install but the Magpul works just fine.
Plenty of Magpul 30 rounders
When I'm done having fun with her at the range, I keep her tucked in an olive drab colored Condor tactical bag so I can bug out at a moment's notice.

Stag lower w/ factory non-assembly letter
Model 1 parts kit
rifle buffer tube
used A2 upper from Ray's Hardware in Oak Cliff
gun show "M-16" bolt carrier
16" HBAR from the EE
low pro gas block from Model 1 @ 90 degrees
Center Industries LE ban mag dated 11/04
gun show carry handle rail scope mount
Inforce 9V light & mount from AAFES (not needed, have no other firearm to attach mount to @ moment)
Scotch brand "flash hider thread protector" tape
Elevation set @ 400 from when I sighted it in a few years back w/out the gas block - have no idea what I was thinking other than the headache @ the indoor range
painted toenails of the photographing fiancee

Purely a legal placeholder of a firearm until I decide what I want to build out of it - was built as a pistol so that I can go pistol, rifle, pistol, should I ever decide to do so.  W/out the gas block it's a very loud straight pull bolt action of a pistol.  I hope the gas block quiets it down a little now that it's a 16" straight pull bolt, instead of an 8" w/ a rifled 8" muzzle brake.

Last AR I bought was in 1988.....

Living in CA, I really got disgusted with the laws and the butchered AR's that were only available.....no flash hider, bayonet lug etc. Now with the tool needed mag release, we can have all the evil things again, so I just put this together....but this is only the start.

LMT Lower, RRA Elite CAR A4 mid upper with lightweight barrel and Dominator II, and Magpul STR stock...mag is a Magpul PMAG permently plugged for 10 rounds ....next is a rail for-end and EOTech 512...even though I have been looking at the Vortex SPARC....but not sure how it will work with the DominatorI II Sight/Riser.
