ETA1: vtmac, your rifle is looking pretty sweet. What length barrel are you thinking about putting on it? ETA2: breaking down the name of that 2.5lbs optics, the TA648MGO-308, it makes a little more sense. Feel free to correct any of my ASSUMPTIONS TA = Trijicon ACOG 648 = obviously 6x48 MGO = Machine Gun Optic (this is a guess but it makes a LOT of sense given the size and power of the scope) 308 = obviously the 7.62mm cartridge Thus the MGO, I could see putting that scope on an MG but not an AR. ETA3: looking at the ACOG product list, yes, MGO does stand for machine gun optic |

ETA3: looking at the ACOG product list, yes, MGO does stand for machine gun optic The rifle is going to be another dedicated 22lr SPR (Squirrel Population Reducer). Mega Monolithic rifle length upper w/ matching billet lower. Wilson TTU-2 Stage trigger, Magpul peripherals. Ultimately it will probably wear the T-1 and no bipod but cant say for sure. I have a barrel coming from Adam at Ballistic Advantage, 16" (will look like a 14 1/2") stainless Lothar Walther barrel with Spike's bolt assembly and YHM QD Phantom for the stealth squirrel eradication missions. Yeah, Scope is a beast. I bought it originally for a LaRue OSR but gave up on that so sat it on a shelf and moved on until I can find or build a rifle for it. As I understand it, you are 100% correct on the acronym breakdown. |

Sometimes you have to look for the irony, and sometimes it runs at you, head-butts you, kicks you in the balls, then bends you over and makes you its bitch.

Since it goes on top of what is already there... I will remove it from the pistol, not worth the trouble!!

Superior Arms lower purchased a couple years ago $100 DPMS LPK $60 Smith & Wessom M&P new and unfired in the EE $500 MOE Stock and Grip $FREE.99 since they came off my Noveske and I was going to take them off anyways. ACOG $FREE.99 The lower doesn't like PMAGS. They're just a little too big and don't slide free at all. They're actually kinda tough to shove in there in the first place. This will become a California Compliant upper using a Bullet Button and 10 round magazine thanks to CalGuns.NET Colors ARE different between M&P and SA lower. MIGHT bug me but right now what bugs me more is finding a case for this and my shotgun. |

Hello, everyone. This is my first post and my first AR build this is what I have so far. Not sure what kind of upper I'm going to go with but really leaning towards a good 16" piston upper. If you guys know of any good deals on an upper let me know. Thanks! Sorry for the bad cell phone pics.

My very first build, inspired by some members here and their earlier posts. Special thanks to you guys who helped me ID some of the parts.
PS I know I'm still missing the rear sight - and the huge scope was only temporary until my EOTech shows up. She's chambered for 5.56 NATO @ 16" barrel - note that the gas tube needs to be "mid length" for this barrel size. Rifle is too long, carbine is too short. Also, the lower is stamped ".223" but I had no problems feeding both 5.56 and .223 through it. The only issue was a poorly made loose fitting clip that caused the bolt carrier to lock back mid cycle. A small tap on the bottom of the clip freed everything up and got the next round ready to go. Lesson learned - Don't cheap out on the clip! http://www.thejenovaproject.com/images/ar15.jpg |

It doesn't matter what the lower is stamped. It matter what your barrel is chambered for. 3. You need a 9" (mid length) rail for that barrels gas port location if you want to cover the gas tube (which for obvious reasons would be a good idea) Do lots of research and not cheaping out on parts the first time are two extremely valuable lessons to be learned quickly.. |

My first AR; just finished assembly. Haven't shot it yet, still waiting for loctite to cure. Build total came to $625. I was somewhat hesitant to go with a 20" H-bar setup, I was worried about the balance being too front heavy. I'm actually really happy with the way the rifle balances. Still haven't decided on optics, so the irons will do for now.
