Finished this one about a week ago. Still need sights or optics.

Aero Precision UPK, Gas Black and SS tube.

Bang! Miculek Compensator (DPMS dont make em anymore)

Couple of issues, Aero didn't include the c-clip for the dust cover rod, and the gas tube roll pin was missing. They sent me a roll pin, but said they don't include a c-clip in the dust cover kit!?!?!! That don't sound right, how do you keep it from walking out the back? Eh' got one from Amazon.

Not too bad for $614 bucks in parts 'eh?

New here, just started to get into the AR.platform. This is my first, chose to partially build... Wouldn't say I completely built as the upper was complete minus BCG, bus & CH, the lower was stripped but had the takedown pins already installed.





Aero s-one upper 16"
Radian ax556 lower came w/ radian 45° safety
DD BCG
Radain Raptor CH
BCM gunfighter stock kit w/ buffer tube, spring and buffer
Magpul K2+ grip
Strike industries foregrip
Velocity 3.5lb single stage drop in trigger
Eotech EXPS2 green
I have some magpul bus (not pictured)

Going to change the eotech for a 510c green, the eotech is more than I need and I like the holosun features more.

Changed the SI foregrip to a BCM gunfighter vertical

Want a light, possibly a Olight mini odin

Have a Vg6 gamma that I'll add after an upcoming AR class

(How can I attach the picture so that you don't have to click a link?)

Assembled this from spare parts taken off other guns, and some cheap pickups.  It does have a Geissele charging handle and SSA-E trigger.  May need to find a quick release mount for the scope.  I think I will give this to my 10-year old son.  I need to go sight it in now.

Finished piecing together my latest, I wanted something a little lighter than my big-ass target AR but more suited for target shooting, so I went with an 18" SPR profile barrel.  Finished it off with a bunch of Magpul stealth gray stuff for a little bit of something not black.

Everything is either lightly used or on deep discount.  Here it is without the LPVO that will be going on it.  Everything in the picture came out to $582.

I've never posted before so I hope that link works..
I got ripped to shreds on r/AR15 for this idea lol anyway, here's the build..

AR-x39; I'd like to come up with my own loadings using .308 pills but for now PPU and norma brass is good and cheap.




Parts list:
 Faxon; 10.5" barrel / .094 port / carbine length gas
 AIM; NiB bolt for x39 with enhanced firing pin
 Toolcraft; polished NiB carrier
 Aero Precision; Atlas R1 handguard 10.3"
 Pinned lo-pro block / Non adjustable
 Geisselle; H2 buffer w/ +10% braided buffer spring
 Tacticon; aluminum flip up sights
 Sig; Romeo 5 RDS
 Blackhawk; latchless charging handle
 JBO; spartan slick side billet upper reciever
 Aero Precision; Gen 2 X15 pistol lower with SBA3 brace
 BCM; Angled foregrip
 CPD; 28rd mags x2

Waiting on my geissele lower 1/3 RDS mount and trying to decide on a weapon light, leaning toward streamlight though.

Edit: took a few tries to figure out how to post pics correctly. For some reason IMGUR will ban your account for posting pictures of an inanimate object that is legal to own. Gonna make a new account every day and post the same picture lol. Can't stand selective implementation of terms of service policies; especially if I haven't actually violated any. Apparently owning a gun = promoting violence on IMGUR....

I thought builds were where you made something yourself (at minimum out of 80%).
What I see under this topic is lots of assemblies. 🧐🤦🏻

Why do people call it "building an engine" when they don't use an 80% block?

Why not show your "build"? It only counts if you also milled the upper at a minimum

I’m not here to make bad blood between members, I think we have better things to worry about that is going on in the world. I just stated my opinion that Im in title to. I stand on what I say with my two feet. In my opinion just putting AR-15 platform rifle together is not build it. I’m sorry if I hurt your mechanical ego. I apologize
