Well, last week I was so glad that the ban sunsetted, that I decided to install a new barrel on my existing upper. Because I'm a cheapskate, I wanted to make my postie as evil as I could for the least money; so I had this bright idea
that I was going to swap the barrel for a bushie 20" gov't profile barrel, complete with bayo lug (good for 25 evil points
and an A2 flash hider (good for a 50 evil points
). In my haste to put it together and become evil, I overlooked the fact that the upper had M4 feedramp cuts while the barrel extension didn't. Funny thing is that I didn't even notice, and didn't have any problems last Monday. However, this past weekend, shooting with my buddy in his backyard, I kept having FTFeeds because it kept getting hung up in the feedramps. So, now I have to get a new upper. Since RB Precision had some RRA B/C + CH combos for $115, I said what the hell, and they also had some really nice A2 front sight tools, so I got one of those too. So, in my quest to no-ban-ify my AR the cheapest way, I end up still having to build a completely new upper.
D'oh!
