The Goods:
Red River Tactical Lower & Upper Receivers
Magpul MBUS Rear Folding Sight
Magpul Magazines with Ranger Pulls

Good taste!  Almost a carbon-copy of what I did: but I've got the Knight's flash hider permanantly attached on a 14.5.  KAC RIS and other goodies and for me and Aimpint Comp M2 (wish I could afford an ACOG).  Looks very familiar overall.

This is a CMMG/RRA VTAC that I built this past spring.  It is perched on a RRA Lower reciever with a 14.5" 1/7 twist barrel, with a perm Phantom break/hider attached to make it 16".  It is a Mid length Gas system with a Low pro block, 13" JP VTAC Handguard, Magpul MBUS Sights, Magpul MOE Grip, and a TLR-1 Light ran at 12' and an Ace SOCOM stock along with an OSOE Bungie sling.  Since the pic I've added an Aimpoint Micro, and swapped to a lighter stock!   She has ran well for me all summer in training, classes and various Matches.  I'm pleased with her!

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs034.snc4/34061_282419744949_500614949_995468_5230993_n.jpg

This is my latest build... A Noveske VTAC setup.  Its a Noveske Lower, with a Palmetto State Armory LPK in it, Magpul MOE grip and Trigger guard in it.  The Upper is a 16" Light Recce, Double Chrome Lined, 1/7 twist CHF Barrel, with a Mid Length Gas System and a PWS Break.  The upper came with Troy Industries BUIS, as well as the 13" VTAC handguard, and a Troy Sling.  I've added a Surefire 951, the Trijicon 1-4X Accupoint (those mounts are about to go this week when the others come in for it), and some rounds down the pipe!  This setup shoot like a DREAM!  I have had nothing but good to say about Noveske from the begining of dealing with them!  They are a great company and I'll be fine if I only bought from them from now on!

First Configuration (TLR-1 and Iron sights along until the Trijicon came in!) and one of my GO bags!

Second post to get an updated shot of my Noveske up here after her new Paint job (my rendition of Multicam), Optics and Light.  It's a Trijicon 1-4X Accupoint, Surefire 951 with pressure switch.

The gun really turned into a little bit of a "mutt".  I am currently building (parts on order) a "purebred" Daniel Defense...I'll post pics when the parts arrive.


How do you like that USMC case?  I was thinking about picking one up.

Magpul CTR
Magpul Miad

In a box in my closet I have:
BCM Gunfighter Mod 4

Surefire Z70 Ladder Rail Covers
Magpul AFG
Magpul MBUS front and rear with Meprolite tritium front post

On order:
16" Daniel Defense Midlength upper with 12" Omega X rail and CHF 1:7 bbl
(ordered from smartgunner.com for $499 sale)  just wishing that it wasn't taking so long to build and ship.  Hopefully I can get it all together and have myself a proper rifle.  But this being my first build and all (and first AR) I think all things are going pretty well considering my noobiness.

Wow, thought I was reading my own post!!!! I'm in the same exact situation, ordered the same thing from smartgunner, my first AR too, and basically first real firearm. So much coincidence. Ordered late last month. Don't worry, was told directly by Daniel Defense that it takes 3-4 weeks for build/ship.

And some pics so I'm not thread jacking too much:

Guess now I have to paint on "LAZER" on my safety switch.  The only real question now is what color of lazer should I shoot?  haha

To be fair though, if you do a "stormtrooper blaster" image search on google, you'll see that their blasters are pretty much all black; just their armor is black/white.

I'll confess that my main influence was seeing the white rags wrapped around the guns in the movie Red Dawn.  That and just wanting to do something different.

Prosit!

Since I primarily shoot at a downward angle (in hills), I rarely need to extend it to full length.  Yes, it works just fine with a 30rd or even a 40 rd clip.
