Just finished my first build today which is also my very first AR-15. The guides on this forum made this a snap and I learned a lot about the gun by putting it together myself.
It's a Del-ton 20 inch rifle kit with a Spikes lower. It's a real basic A2, because I don't know what I really want or need out of the rifle yet, so I figured I'd just live with a solid KISS setup for now until I learn the platform. Only perks were an ergo sure-grip and chrome lined barrel. All said and done it cost me about $650 to put together. http://www.tarsis.org/all_parts.jpg http://www.tarsis.org/accessories.jpg I think the case, mags, cleaning kit, sling and initial ammo will probably cost as much as the gun |

My Build is on hold till I can get my Magpul Stock and the remaining parts for my Upper Receiver.
So far I have a JC Weaponry MEGA Lower Receiver, MEGA Upper Receiver, Double Star Two Stage Trigger, Magpul MIAD Grip, Bushmaster Pins, Springs, Magazine Release, Bolt Carrier Release, Forward Assist, and Door. I needed a way to display my AR until I get it finished and I think that I may display it using this after I am finished so I made an Oak stand for it. http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/4584/0000041yh8.jpg |

Mmmm. Gun Porn.
My just finished AR. Built up with: DPMS 16" Hvy A2 Colt Sporter HBAR upper and lower VLTOR Stock Tango down vertical grip Hogue pistol grip Hydraulic buffer Smith Enterprise muzzle break You'll also notice a couple of build photos. I installed new parts and swapped parts between 2 rifles to create the 16" and 20" with scope. Kind of a convoluted way to do things. I had purchased a Flat top to replace the standard A2 upper years ago, and had it sitting in a box. I decided to build a 2nd rifle based off of the A2 upper. The flattop was built on a stripped Bushmaster lower and (forgot the name) flattop, with the 20" barrel from the original Colt. The BM lower has a standard DPMS parts kit installed. I will be buying a match trigger when $ allows. Also, some shots with my other little green monster. Enjoy! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2017.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2018.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2019.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2020.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2021.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2024.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2025.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2027.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2028.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2030.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2035.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd114/helotech/IMG_2036.jpg |

Just finished my first build up today. It took me 2 days. I had to spend one of those days building everything and the other leveling, pinning, and cutting various parts to make evething fit snug.
Heres what I went with....

Then Cleaned the bore very well. Ran the David Tubbs Final Finish rounds through as instructed. Then Fired 5 round group to see what the accuracy looks like. The group is 2.125 Center to Center with Federal red box ammo. How does this compair with anyone else for accuracy? http://gallery.photo.net/photo/6705949-md.jpg http://gallery.photo.net/photo/6705950-lg.jpg http://gallery.photo.net/photo/6705955-lg.jpg http://gallery.photo.net/photo/6705952-lg.jpg |

Good starter rifle, KISS, you may catch BRD. I've got a Del-ton Middy that shoots MOA and a Colt 20" HBAR that'll shoot Sub-MOA. That is not with Wolf ammo. Try some match grade stuff like Federal Gold 69gr.

It's like a sunshade on a regular scope. It hides the reflection of the foward lens. No sense in giving the bad guy an aiming point.

To hide the flash of course. The Vortex is one of the most effective at suppressing flash. The individual tines vibrate to help dissipate the unburned gasses that escape the end of the barrel, thereby reducing the flash signiture at night. This helps keep the user from losing his night vision while firing. And to confuse Californians. (just kidding) |

Got bored with the old configuration I built. It was a basically an A2 Bushy 20 inch upper on top a Double Star Lower with an A2 buttstock. Traded the old bushy upper and got a new RRA M4ish upper, switched out buttstocks and yay! Its funny how Ive always had carbines before the 20 inch, and now Im back to a carbine configuration. I came full circle (FBI seems to do that alot

I'm new to the board, might ask some stupid questions, still a little lost on some things but,....Really considering building one. i like the look of this one? what would be the cheapest way to build one like this. I want one small and still be able to shoot a good distance, just want it to target shoot a bit, would this be the right length. do they sell a kit like this one? i know i want a phantom and the floating hand rail by 7'' larue or maybe troy like this one. vertical handle in the front, laser and small scope/sight of some sort. can you guys give me some options. would this length AR be legal in central illinois? thinking there might besome good deal around this time since christmas is close. thanks lance
