great looking gun! I love the FL receiver from Spikes. They are hard to get now. I snagged one and was thinking about turning it into a 9mm SBR

Here's my first build. All Magpul gear, Delton receivers, Fail Zero bolt carrier group, BSA 4x scope with 45 degree offset BUIS,  and an AR Stoner barrel. Not exactly all top of the line parts but it functions flawlessly. Couldn't be happier with my first build.

Can I send you my AR's so you can paint them. I love that paint job. It is sick... This is what I'm wanting on my spr but I'm not much of a painter/artist so i won't be able to do anything close to that. Good job.

Two builds that are almost finalized.

14.5 midlength DD lightweight barrel
BCM 13" KMR
PWS Triad
Noveske STS ambi selector
Rainier Raptor CH
Gunfighter Mod 1 grip
VLTOR A5 buffer kit
CTR stock
Noveske QD endplate for use with the MS4 sling
Primary Arms Micro. (someday a T1)

I love this rifle! With the light mounted, it only weighs 6.8 pounds. So light and easy to handle, especially around barricades going from righty to lefty.






14.5 midlength DD lightweight barrel
MI T2 12" rail
Spikes Dynacomp (may get swapped out for something better)
Magpul K2 grip.
STR stock
QD endplate for single point sling (a must I have learned......)
Eotech EXPS3-2
Thorntail SBR mount
Weapon light is a Soarforce body with an LED assembly that I built using an XPG2. Can be activated with the support hand righty or lefty due to tape switch as well as tail cap switch.

On that first build, that is almost exactly what I have in mind for mine when I get the money except for the stock, muzzle device, and a couple misc. small parts. That half and half OD/FDE has my OCD ticking though.

Yeah the stock and rear sight were from its first iteration (now in its 3rd or 4th...).
Was a 16" carbine with front sight post and OD green furniture.

I don't mind the mix

Magpul MBUS PRO sights


Magpul ASAP and RSA sling mounts


ACE M4 socom stock


Hogue Extreme aluminum grip

Only three pieced on the gun are not metal, the foam and ruber on the buttstock and the piece on the end of the buffer. (this was unintentional until i replaced the Ergo grip I put on it first with the Hogue)

Good thing I'm still legally an Iowa resident...
