Nice pic!

Who makes the knock-off Noveske rail? Or is there no badge/label?

There is no badging but did some looking and I am pretty sure it's GunTec.  I paid $80 at a show.

I used the word knock off because I think the term "clone" would have been too kind.  The anodizing isn't great but it is even.  The 1913 top rail is slightly out of spec (everything I put on I have to tighten down further than on my BCM with an actual NSR).  Haven't tested the keymod spec yet.  No spare keymod accessories as the moment.  The rail itself seems to be more "flexible" than the real NSR as well.  I can push it off center at the muzzle, however with the flash can installed there is only a 1/16" of play so no biggie.

All that being said... It's locked down tight and appears to be good good enough to stand up.

Finished this build up a few weeks ago. Edit: how do I get pics from PB to embed. I used to copy the IMG link and the pics would show up. Not anymore.

My "Democrat voter" AR pistol build in 300BLK--black, brown, and undocumented.

My KISS Black Friday buy. Assembled the lower myself, bought the upper already done. 100% Anderson Mfg., $550 total without the Vortex. Have since added an SB15 I had from another project.

Say Hello to "Little Rusty"

Thats pretty crazy. Looks great

Beautiful paint on that pistol.

It's nice to see work that's outside the norm.

Thanks guys! It's a Cerakote finish in a grunge camo pattern. The colors are burnt bronze, graphite black, stealth grey.

Great job on that paint. Very, very cool.

My first ar pistol

chamber in 7.62 x 39

chambered in 5.45 x 39

I don't usually participate in the picture threads, but oh well.  (junk)Cell phone pic.

Anderson Mfg. Lower-
Anderson lower is in my opinion a great way to go if you are trying to buy 7075 mil spec quality, at a fair price.
LPK w/ ALG QMS Trigger-
ALG was designed by Bill Giesseles wife with budget in mind. This trigger is about 6.5lbs, and feels much like the $.25 Glock trigger job...Its a bit more crisp and smooth the standard mil spec trigger,and for an extra 20.00 over what you would normally pay for a LPK, this is a great buy.
AERO PRECISION UPPER RECEIVER-
Good as any IMO, I dont know the advantage to having one forge, over the other when finished milling process by companies like Aero, Anderson, Armalite, Colt, etc.
KAK AR-15 SIG SB-15 Pistol Buffer Tube-
The KAK tube is about 8.5"(longer than most),and weighs about 7.5 ounces. This tube is clean, well finished, and extremely solid. Although its designed for SB-15, it works great with the CAA saddle and Thordsens standard buffer tube kit. I was going for a clean look, and this setup worked well.
CAA SADDLE, STANDARD BUFFER TUBE COVER KIT & ADAPTER KIT-
Thordsens buffer tube cover is a good way to cover wrap your standard aluminum tube, providing an alternative to the bare aluminum on your cheek. With the CAA saddle it provides a good rest to allow your eyes to comfortably follow the line of sight.
WILSON COMBAT BCG-
8610 Steel BCG, Carpenter 158 Bolt for under 100.00 bucks... it runs, reputable name, I cant complain.
RF 7.5" M4 MELONITE 1/9 TWIST M4 4150V BARREL-
This barrel like many others is an ER SHAW blank, sent out to do the QPQ melonite coating. The barrel has a nice even finish, and seems to be semi accurate. From all the reviews and from what Ive seen, Im impressed. Range barrel?YES. Working barrel?TBD Buy again-?YES
SEEKINS HYBRID KEYMOD RAIL-
Rail is a cross between a Provectus and an MCSR, with the rail on the belly taking up 5/8-3/4 of the rail. There is much more material cut out in a gill style like the MCSR rather than holes. Its light and sturdy as hell. I like it.
KAK FLASH CAN-
Does what you need it to do, projects concussion and blast crap forward, loudly...and the price is good for what it is.
STRIKE INDUSTRIES ARCH CHARGING HANDLE-
I will catch shit for this but.. I like it. In the beginning I thought Strike was an airsoft thing, until Primary started to sell them. I ordered some of their product to check out and the machining is impressive. There are claims that it serves a gas busting purpose... I thought it was BS, but no, it does actually work. I physically tried to bend it, to no success, so I put it back in the upper, and I will review it after the first 1500 or so rounds.
Primary Arms MD-RBGII RDS-
You will find that for the budget minded enthusiast, this is the way to go. Great product at fair price, excellent customer service. What other companys are on a first name basis with damn near all their customers?
Magpul MBUS-
Magpul makes a decent product at a decent price... not overly impressed, but they are light and they get the job done.

EDIT I've had a couple questions on the items on the hutch. The wallet is a Hellbent Holsters Combat 2. The Multi tool is a Leatherman. If you look closely for it, there a SIG SAUER Compact 1911 Rosewood grip peeking in.

Completed build friday and shot this past weekend.. lot of fun! And no malfunctions

**sorry cant get picture to work**

Please explain the rear sight ahead of the optic here:        




 

Having the rear sight too far back is actually a detriment to accurate sighting. The sights are Troy Micros with tritium inserts. The tritium inserts are the same diameter on the front and the rear sights. When focusing on the front sight post, if you have the rear sight in the normal position at the rear of the rail right next to the charging handle, the rear sight inserts blur to about 5x the diameter of the front sight insert. But with the rear sight where it is, the inserts blur to about 2x the size of the front sight insert. You're giving up about 33% of the sight radius, but gaining over 200% ability to see the rear sight clearly. It's a net gain overall.

Also, when you put any optic between the front and rear sights, you change the point of aim slightly. The amount is small for many optics if they are exactly 1x, but if they are not exactly 1x, they can change the point of aim by several MOA because the view of the front sight and target is altered by the refraction of light passing through the optic, but view of the rear sight is not. Having the optic behind the irons cancels this effect out, because any refraction of light passing through the optic affects the view of the target, front sight, and rear sight equally.

I'm not buying all this. DannerTrax

Nice pistol.  Extra points for the offhand thinly veiled rhetoric.

Try this:

Have the gun immobilized in a rest or on sandbags while sighting at a target. Put a lens between your front and rear sights. Note that as you move the lens around, the apparent position of the front sight will change, as well as the relationship between the front sight and target when viewed through the rear sight.

But if you put the lens behind the rear sight any distortions created by the lens affect both sights and the target equally.

BUIS aren't meant to be used through an optic.  They make QD mounts so that if the optic fails it can be removed quickly and then the BUIS can be used.

And if you seem to think a shorter sight radius is better (which is 100% the opposite of what EVERYONE else says) why don't you flip your front sight around the correct way and make it even shorter?

On a magnified optic, sure.
On an Eotech  with zero distortion, there is no affect between having it mounted or removed.

True, which makes his argument even less valid.

You need to improve your reading comprehension. Longer is better, up to a point. But when lengthening the sight radius by 50% increases the blurring of the rear sight by 150%, it's past the point at which it helps. The sweet spot for the rear sight is closer to the front of the receiver than the rear.

Different strokes I guess.  The rest of us with decent eyes will keep them at the back.  The further forward you go with a closed sight, the more the rear obscures your actual target.

And how exactly are you measuring how much the rear sight "blurs"? You're not supposed to even see it at all, that's the point.  It is supposed to be close to your eye so that it essentially disappears and all you see is the front sight.

Jon must be trolling. Nobody is that ass backwards.

Here are some photos. Perhaps that will make understanding what I'm saying clearer. In both examples, the distance between the eye and the front sight is 17".

Here's the sight picture in low light with the rear sight in the rearmost slot as you recommend:

The rear sight dots are 438 pixels apart and 217 pixels in diameter. Sight radius is 15".

Here's the sight picture in low light with the rear sight in front of the Eotech:

The rear sight dots are 168 pixels apart and 51 pixels in diameter. Sight radius is 7".

The sight radius is 2.14x longer in your configuration, but the visual size and spacing between the rear sight dots is 2.61x greater, so the advantage of the longer sight radius is canceled out and then some. You can aim about 22% more precisely with my configuration, even though it has a shorter sight radius, because the rear sight dots appear smaller and closer together. That more than makes up for the shorter sight radius.

Also, note that the rear sight appears brighter in my configuration, because the tritium dots are less blurred.

I've been admiring all the sweet pistols in this thread, but I've gotta ask....I've noticed some of them have fwd vertical grips installed....I thought that was illegal on an AR pistol?...am I misinformed?

If the overall length is less than 26", you cannot have a vertical forward grip without making it an AOW per the ATF.
If the overall length is 26"+, a vertical grip creates a "firearm" which is not a regulated NFA item per the ATF.

That is good to hear. I have a 7" that should be showing up today.

Are these both from RF or builds?

How do you like the one with the seekins rail, that is the one I am thinking about picking up.

The one in the background is the $599 deal RF had last year.  It's a 5.56 and shoots great.  It was a complete gun from RF.  I posted in the PA/RF thread that it consistently hit a metal plate at 228 yards 12 times in a row with a fairly rapid fire.  The one in the foreground is a RF upper in .300 blk.  I bought the upper and pistol buffer from RF, built the lower on a blem PSA and finished with a AIM BCG.  This upper was supposed to have the Hybrid Seekins/RF rail but it shipped with the Seekins MCSR V2 Mod Rail.  Customer service was great about the mix up and we got it worked out.  I'm keeping the MCSR V2 Mod Rail.  I just got it put together so I haven't shot it yet.  I'll report back when I do.

Here's my 1st frankenbuilt pistol. Truly happy with this setup.

The hand stop is backwards, It's supposed to keep your hand a safe distance behind the muzzle so that muzzle blast doesn't peel the meat off the bone when you fire a round. The hook points aft, not forward.

If you're gripping the gun in front of the hand stop, you're lucky you haven't already damaged or destroyed a finger.

He's probably using it as an index finger hook, not a hand stop.
