For my dad's birthday I bought all the parts and we built this together.
Delton Lower w/ LPK Aero Precision Upper Dark Storm Industries BCG DSI 16" Chromoly barrel GunTec 7" free float handguard Leapers Stock kit Magpul BUIS I got all the parts for about $1100 (not including shipping on some). I probably paid too much but we've got a gun in our hands and put 60 rounds through it today. The function test went great. We had a little trouble while installing the gas block, but after the first couple of rounds it cycled perfectly. http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b587/matt_729/2013-06-09_00-03-16_347_zps92e8749f.jpg http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b587/matt_729/2013-06-09_00-04-29_620_zps8161f1c8.jpg Also we plan to use this for prairie dogs and coyotes, so if anyone knows of a scope that would be good for that and isn't too expensive, let us know! I got all my information for this build on AR15.com so thanks for all your help everyone! |
| Thanks guys. I didn't even notice that but now that you mention it, it does look pretty weird. I just tried to order all the parts carbine length but I'll pick up a longer hand guard soon. Also, why is this a problem? Is it ok to shoot it before I get the new rail? |

Quoted: Yes the gun will continue to function just fine the way it is. Most people just don't like to have the low pro gas block exposed like that. It's simply asthetics aesthetics, plus the gas block will get hot as you shoot and a longer rail that covers it would give you a little more space to get down the barrel and not burn your support hand. Nice looking build OP! |
