OP should make movie props. For example, Tom Cruise's rifle from Oblivion: https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/157305/oblivion_rifle_3d_model_fbx_ma_mb_obj_max_d71e3c9d-eaa7-49d8-8ad7-51027d224e86-800847.jpg One of my favs is below, roughly designed around the P90. Looks cool, but it appears to have at least two ejection ports, none of which are near the magazine, and the mag itself seems so far back as to not allow reciprocation. but its Sci-fi so who knows what feeds it.

A quick picture of mine as someone who enjoys retro AR's this is super modern for me.  Attached File |

Simple, light and smooth shooting........
PSA 10.5 light weight slant upper that I bought because I like how the rail looks. Reminds me of a space dry dock or the ISS. Everything major is from PSA except the optic, trigger, and the light. It's light weight and fast but is very soft shooting with a H1 buffer and JP spring. It's almost like a 22LR that throws flames. I kept it black for stealth because I mostly come out at night......mostly.

I'm posting my build, but I feel bad as it's nowhere near OP's quality.

You put a lot of effort into yours. It looks great.

how do i sign up to join space force? https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Palmetto-State-Armory-has-lost-a-customer-/5-2109794/&page=290&anc=77269006#i77220071 |

Hey OP it is all I can do to stop myself from tweeting those photos out as the New Official Basic Combat Rifle Of President Trump's Space Force Shock Troop Battalion. Looks beautiful. I did create an account under brickwurx, and posted pics on Instagram a while back, but since I do not follow anyone on Instagram, cause i don't get that either, images sort of stayed put. |

Quoted:
I'm having such a hard time deciding what to do with my SPACEFORCE-15 lower. 
I feel like it's almost a requirement for it to be "over-the-top" so my SOP when it comes to builds just isn't going to cut it. |

Quoted:
I'm disappointed in PSA for making their Space Force lower say "BUUURRRRTTTTT" instead of "BRRRTTTT," but then advertising it without the U. It's the difference between Sesame Street and Full-Auto, but falsely advertised. When I asked a question about it on the product page, my question was deleted. WTF PSA? |

It's the difference between Sesame Street and Full-Auto, but falsely advertised. When I asked a question about it on the product page, my question was deleted. WTF PSA? BUUURRRRTTT was on my original space door gunner artwork design. The forum folks and I agreed BRRRRTTT would look better, but I think we may have been late to the game as PSA may have already started production. Or, folks were so focused on the door gunner art at PSA that BUURRRRRT slipped past the machining programmer. Who knows. What was listed on the PSA site was not the actual finished lower, but my digital proof. Thus the confusion. What's done is done at this point. If @Shqype ended up with a space force lower he was not satisfied with, I will happily purchase it back from him, add an additional $10 for the trouble, and pay for shipping to my FFL. I am considering making another Spaceforce build, something super retro, like Buck Rodgers ray gun retro. This may fit the need. Attached File |

I like that picture. Maybe we should float the idea of a pinup series of PSA lowers. There's already the tentative nose art design. Attached File |

Good luck with your next build though!

Thanks for the mention and the explanation. PSA should update the digital proof to reflect the actual product - right now they are falsely advertising. They probably won't update the machining to fix the lower, but at least provide an accurate representation of what the customer will ultimately receive.

You do realize that PSA only made 2500 Spaceforce-15 lowers right? They were a limited run only, they are not making more, so no real reason to update a pic if they are no longer for sale.

My build progress: 
Working on designing my own 3d-printed stock. I added a neat feature to retract the pin in the stock to remove off tube, use 5.56/.300blk case to change fulcrum point. 
I had a BFS II installed but like BrickWurX I had trouble manipulating the selector. Installed a NiB trigger I had handy along with a Elftmann push-button safety. Being a novice, modeling the stock has taken a long time and I'm far from done with it. |

I had a problem with my BFSIII trigger in my SNEK lower. It would only go into semi mode. I called Franklin TS. TS told me to swap my hammer. I haven't tried it yet. I already swapped with a ALG NIB trigger I had squirreled away. Those BFS triggers seem to be really tolerance sensitive. I wanted my SNEK to bite. Now it only nibbles.

I'm trying out different ones before I commit to sanding the finish off one. I'll post updated pics when my suppressor get back from the engravers. ps: Small suggestion, it would help other people to have the contest details appended to the OP. Quoted:

People posting builds should post parts lists. We can leave that up to the builders. If the thread grows, I will add a post page number to each build on the list. Pretty sure I am going to make a Spacecannon-10 build. Haven't decided on the other Space-force lowers yet, depends on if I can come up with some original ideas or not. |
This is NOT my gun... just a random pic I found online... but if this is one of us, great job!
