One of my co-workers with my self-built M&P.  I'm happy with how it turned out, except that it is difficult to find accessories for this handguard.  Need to change it out, but it works and I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

A couple Ballistic Advantage black Friday builds.  

First is the $99 17.87" midlength SPR barrel, OEM overrun.  Gonna set this one up with a 2A Armament Titanium regulated BCG.  I've never done a lightweight reciprocating mass AR build.  Goal will be a scoped rifle of lightest possible recoil, to easily see bullet flight.

Next is an old Mega Monolithic MATEN receiver set I bought probably about 2010, and a BA 18" 6.5 Creedmoor Hanson midlength.  This one I'm not sure what to expect.  6.5 and midlength just sounds snappy to me, never shot one.  But then again I have no idea port size on this barrel.  So I'm just gonna set it up with the included unregulated gas block and see how it feels.  Hoping the port is small, and shoots soft, because I'd like to try a lightweight BCG on this gun too ... just not sure best path for getting there, if I'm gonna absolutely need an adjustable gas block or not.  

The Element scope is superb btw!

My anorexic build.  5lbs 10.9oz with optic, can and bipod and sling mounts.  Have run it out to 600 so far.  A friend calls it the Karen Carpenter but only some folks will get the reference.

Picked up a surplus PD lower, and threw together a bunch of spare parts that I’ve had laying around in boxes. Turned out pretty good! Heavy as lead, but that’s fine. I’m not carrying it around!

My dad hits me up and says, "what do you want for your birthday?" I hit him with a link to the ARC Fire trigger by AS Designs (the ambi, 0-90-180 if you're curious.) It was a complete joke. My dad is prior law enforcement and doesn't necessarily like FRT's or the perceived legal trouble that comes with them. But, lo and behold, my birthday comes, and there's the trigger sitting in my mailbox. This, of course, prompted a new build.

-PSA Stealth Blem Lower
-ZRO Delta Upper
-Ballistic Advantage 14.5" Mid-Length Govt 5.56 Barrel
-MI Combat HD 13.5" Handguard
-CMMG Zeroed 5.56K Suppressor
-SBA5 Brace while I patiently wait for the NFA to die

Pretty happy with how it turned out. Unfortunately, I got it assembled only to find out that the trigger needs work before it will work properly in forced reset, so back to the vise I go.
O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that, with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.
