Somewhere out on that horizon, out beyond the neon lights, I know there must be something better, but theres only FEMA camps in sight.

ETA: Now that I have some time to sit down and write something here goes... These matched billet sets from San Tan Tactical were made custom for Geissele; only 15 were made with the serials GEISSELE01-GEISSELE15. The one you see below in tungsten cerakote was a "one off" made specifically for me and has a different serial number that I requested. These sets were made specifically for show guns and you can see these in person at one of the many shows that Geissele attends - the first one being SHOT Show 2015. San Tan Tactical really pulled out all of the stops. These will not be made for sale and there are no plans to produce additional sets. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/t31.0-8/10469670_500853240058957_1155471739589372782_o.jpg https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/10518589_500853236725624_2878355513599251025_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t31.0-8/10549973_500853246725623_9115455445143266265_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t31.0-8/10560361_500853276725620_7826125216593559134_o.jpg Why no plans to sell them? |

If we made them available for purchase, they would lose their exclusivity and folks will stop saying, "Who do I have to kill to get one". Joking aside, when I spoke with STT, I told them what we were looking for, what the purpose is, and that it has to be top quality in terms of fit and finish. We only needed enough sets for our booth guns and that was it. I think Sagmill may have claimed serial GEISSELE01 but I guess being the boss of the company entitles him to get what he wants once and a while. That said, we were not expecting the sets to arrive like this - San Tan Tactical(STT) went above and beyond to deliver a product that really blew us away. |

Just to add though im not a fan of 2A lowers. |

| Not to keep harping the G build but boy this thing is just solid and I just can't stop staring at it - probably the tungsten cerakote contrasting with the black hardware. To be honest, I wouldn't mind having the whole rifle in this color. Considered going burnt bronze but I'm thinking was a much better decision. |

Seriously cool though. |

Will the alg brake make a 14.5" barrel legal overall length If pinned? |

I use an AAC brake. It's only fair. Now...grey ALG MLOK or black. |

My wife's new CWAR and my CWAR.
Both use SSA-E triggers and TA33 ACOGs Also, both are SR15E3 uppers with the urx changed for better rails 
I will try and take better pics soon. She choose an Army lower because her dad and grandpa both served. I went Navy lower because nearly all the men in my family have been sailors. |

Oh this build isn't like the rest. No sir! This one has a new barrel that I'm eager to try out. The Triarc Systems barrel features a proprietary Single Edge Polygonal rifling that is supposed to result in less bullet deformation. Sounds like cool stuff. The contour is pretty beefy too and tapers slightly from the receiver to the muzzle. This barrel is 14.5", mid-length gas system, 1/7, 5.56 chamber (will be available in .223 Wylde). When talking to TRIARC, he said he tuned the barrel to be shot with a White Spring from Sprinco and a H buffer for very smooth shooting.  |
