Ok guys - I just bought a Spikes Lower - Got the Lower Kit on - now lets all help me build a machine....
I am going to be open to suggestions for the rest of it. FIRST UP - THE STOCK - help me find what stock to put on this bad boy. My first preference is Desert Brown btw... I play to use this for 3-gun comp and Coyote Hunting - plan on putting a 1-4x type scope on it http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5037986156_9eeacd9ef8_z.jpg |

Man you need to just go shopping and find what you like. At the top of the website are great dealers that are good to go.... Find what you like if you are unsure run it by us and we can give you our opinions.
Stay away from Tapco cheap kind of stuff and I think you will do alright. Plus you want this to be your rifle not one that we would build. You got a good start keep up the good work and post pics with updates on your thread. |

Thanks a lot - this was my first time - and VERY easy to do actually... What about CAA stocks - not a bad price - look cool - how is the quality? |

I like the VLTOR modstock. I've got an ACS on one of my builds and I think its too heavy and dont care for the extra inch of length. I've got a CTR on another build and its decent for what it is, but I like having the latch to open/close the stock exposed so its easy to grab and change the length. The VLTOR stocks give you the QD socket for sling attachment and good cheak weld, and if you buy the model on clearance brom Bravo Company USA (see add at the top of the page) theyre only $50 until they run out. If you put in an order with them make sure you grab one of the pre-production Gunfighter charging handles for $25. Theyre a great deal for the price, the normal ones are $44. |

If you are i think magpul mbus back up irons + Eo tech 557 w/ Eo tech 3x magnifier would look great. But do what you want to do with it after all it is your gun. But that is what I have on my ar + other goodies of course. |

Kool-aid implying it seems to be the trend currently so everyone is drinking it. When someone refers to drink the kool-aid it is referring to the cult that committed mass suicide in South America in the 60 or 70's by drinking kool-aid laced with cyanide. Jonestown to be precise. |
