Hey Guys,

As with most, It seams like forever before I finally got around to building my first AR.  This forum was extremely helpful in helping me decide what to build...so, Thank You!  I was a Medic in the Army NG from 1994-2000 and we qualified with an A2 in Basic but after Basic, I trained with the Beretta 9mm so it had been a while since I spent much time with the AR platform.  Ill just cut to the chase.  I had a blast building this, next time look forward to building the upper.

These are a mix of iphone and DSLR pics.

PG



Spikes Tactical Lower
Rock River 2-stage NM LPK
Magpul CTR stock
Mil-spec buffer tube
Spikes Tactical ST-T2 Buffer
BCM Gunfighter charging handle (pre-production)
Daniel Defense fixed rear sight
Spikes Tactical Midlength LE complete Upper 1:7 twist with
Magpul MOE hand guards
Magpul aluminum improved trigger guard.

I just took her to a private range to zero my iron sight at 50yards.  3 rd groups.  As I was leaving, I realized I was using my large aperture the whole time.  I am very happy with the rifle.  No FTF or any problems.  It really seems to like the M855!  I will say that I was a little rusty and I plan on going back to dial it in better.
