[ARCHIVED THREAD] - First AR build complete... pic

First of all, quite a bit of this carbine came from members/advertisers on this board, thanks!

About a month ago, on a whim, I purchased a RRA lower. I had every intention of putting together a basic bare-bones carbine.

30 days later:

(sorry, I suck at photography)

Specs:
RRA assembled lower with 2 stage NM trigger and 6 pos stock
First Samco G-27 pistol grip
Stag 2H upper with ARMS #40 BUIS
Eotech 552
YHM 2 piece, 4 rail handguards
KAC 1" light mount
KAC VFG
Surefire 6P

I started out wanting to build a sub-$800 AR. I contracted BRD in short order and here she is.

Thanks for the encouraging comments folks.

Now you just need to add 20 pounds of "light weight high speed" gear to it

Good looking rifle..... HOW DOES IT SHOOT ?

It's unfired. The rifle range is a weekend only proposition for me and I've been skiing the last four weekends. I intend to put a few hundred rounds through it on Sunday.
