You need to have more than 50 posts for your images to show immediately.  Until then, they'll only be visible to team members, who will then click a link to either approve or report the photos.  there were issues with people signing up a new membership, then flooding/spamming with all manner of inappropriate content/stuff against CoC.  so this is the new normal.  post your pics; they'll look like links to you but folks with avatars will approve them.  once a certain number have done so, your photos are visible to all.


oh, and fix that formatting.  your post is ridiculously/needlessly tall.  delete that dead space between each line.

The issue is that bottom mount screws and hook/groove top will rotate the scope a touch when you apply proper torque to the mount. It's takes some time to get it right...and it's kind of frustrating truth be told.

My first build. I'm hooked and plan on starting another one for myself & one for my girlfriend. Hopefully a 1911 soon as well.
The Lower was supposed to be cerakoted, but my LGS had some issues with their spray booth location a few days after I dropped it off & decided to build their own. I was told it was a 7 day delay so it should be 3 weeks from when I dropped it off. after about 4 weeks I got impatient and told them to just build it for me. My next lowers will be cerakoted.

80% Lower from AO Sword
Signature 16" 1/7 twist 5.56 Nitride Coated Barrel from AO Sword
KE Arms Stripped Upper
UTG 13" Super Slim Free Float Keymod Handguard
Bushmaster LPK
UTG Mil-Spec Stock Kit

Nice, but.. Only one very high scope mount(UTG maybe a under a reg scope ring)? Hows it hold zero? The RDS usable? I think I'd run one or the other. Plus it'd be much lighter. Weight is also important.

ETA-I just saw the other dedicated thread on the rifle. These questions have already been asked.

Thank you.

I've got a few rounds through it already and it's quite a smooth shooter.  I did some testing with my factory SR-15 on a lower that I was running the VLTOR A5 on and it ran perfectly, so I knew I could build a rifle with the barrel and BCG purchased off the EE.

That picture does not include the KAC 2 stage FCG I received a few days later.

AAC middy melonite finished barrel with a 13.5" KAC URX 3.1 on Anderson upper receiver.  It will be receiving a Magpul MVG purchased from the EE along with some different KAC URX panels.

The lower half is a Noveske gen1 with a KAC triggerguard and LMT 2 stage trigger.  The stock is a LMT SOPMOD which is easily my favorite.

I'm trying to figure out what optic for it.

Progress so far:

Another budget build for the wife.
JSE upper (rifle kit), and Anderson lower from FatBoyTactical. $458 total with shipping and FFL fee for lower.
Just need to get a rear sight, and let her decide on the same type of red dot she has on her 15-22, or some type of magnified optic. Still have another stripped lower left, not sure when I'll get around to building another, or what it'll be.

It was a long winter up here and when the snow finally melted, I was left with this.



The lower is a Bushmaster that I got from Brownells. They had a sale last fall and the lgs owner owed me a favor and did the transfer. I ended up getting two. The barrel is a 24" White Oak, 1-8 that they fluted for me. I also got the bolt from them and they head spaced it to the barrel. It has a 3# Timmney trigger that breaks nice but has just the slightest bit of creep to it. I'm going to give it a little time to see if it will settle in, if not, back it goes. The scope is a Leupold, 6-18 vxII. What can you say about Leupold? I've never used a bad one. The range finally cleared enough so I headed down yesterday to see what I had. After about 10 shots to get sighted in, I shot the first 5 shot group with Federal 69 grain match. The second group was a three shot using a reload with 69 grain Sierra HPBT and BL-C(2). They were shot at 100 yard from a sand bag. I think with a little work, this is going to be a one hole gun.

It's been a long winter up here. This is the result of spending too much time indoors.


The lower is a Bushmaster that I bought last fall on sale from Brownells. The LGS owner owed me a favor and did the transfer for me. I bought two. The barrel comes from White Oak and is a 24" 1-8 that they fluted for me. I also had them head space the bolt. The upper is from DPMS. I used a Timmney 3# trigger that breaks nicely but has just a bit of creep. I'm hoping that it works itself out after some use but if it doesn't, back it goes. The scope is  Leupold 6-18 target. Have you ever had a bad Leupold? The snow finally melted enough to get to the range yesterday. After about 10 shots  to sight in, I shot the groups below. The first was with Federal, 69 grain match. The second was done with a reload using BL-C(2) and Sierra 69 grain HPBT match. They were shot from a sand bag at 100 yards. I think, with a bit of tinkering, this gun is going to settle into a one hole shooter.

Stag LPK and extension tube
CTR stock
Hogue grip
Norgon ambi catch for my lefty ass
Badass ambi safety short fat levers
KNS gen 2 pins to save the pin holes as long as i can ( i know they arent needed unless its automatic but its cheap insurance since im in the ban state and prebans are $$$)
Custom sticky note hand written for my wonderful governor to show my feelings about the "assault" weapon ban in which i strongly disagree, but iam complying to it under duress from the state .
the upper behind it is a stag model 3, yes, the front sight is on backwards, wont fold back over the handguard thats on it..yes, its gas block height front sight.

not sure why the grip has a gap...either lower is out of spec or the grip is not made right...it dont bother me none
