Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cdholmes: It’s A.I. Dark Earth I’ve grown to like it. It has a more vertical grip angle similar to the BCM grips, which I also have started using. Thanks! Really digging that color. I might have to have one of my AR's coated in that. |

 This recon type carbine was my second build project way back in 2005 and I completed it in Dec. '05. My original goal for this rifle was a minimalist type but using well proven parts and components with the low as possible cost. It started out as a Colt model AR6721 marked "AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine" lower receiver without buffer tube assembly and no buttstock, a new but old stock made in 2002 during the ban. Then I got a complete upper half of the same model 6721 with heavy contour 1/9 twist barrel and I replaced the barrel myself. The barrel is a 16" Rock Creek Barrels mil-spec CMV steel alloy, medium contour under the handguard (0.800" to 0.850"), 1/7 twist, chrome lined, 5.56 NATO chamber and M4 enhanced feed ramps. The barrel was chambered, contoured and assembled by Compass Lake Engineering FL. Phoenix flash suppressor (discontinued new model available from Liberty Suppressors) F marked front sight base LaRue Tactical 9.0 picatinny rail system Magpul & LaRue rail covers Daniel Defense quick detachable sling mount Colt M16 auto BCG Norgon ambi mag catch Magpul BAD lever KNS Precision anti walk pins LMT ambi selector Magpul folding aluminum triggerguard (discontinued) Magpul MIAD grip Vltor mil-spec buffer tube Colt H2 buffer B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD stock (was Vltor EMOD/ IMOD stock) Knight's Armament Micro 200-600M rear BUIS Surefire M961 weaponlight Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10X24 illuminated MOA BDC LPVO Warne aluminum skeletonized quick detachable lever mount Bobro-GG&G gen 1 aluminum bipod Mags: Magpul PMAG gen 2 & 3 Lancer Systems L5AWM translucent smoke Hexmag gen 2 Future improvements: Higher quality optic 13.5" M-LOK modular rail system Geissele SSA-E trigger Heavy duty aluminum bipod Camo paint |

Soon to be a Recce.
Still looking at what kind of backup red dot I want to use. I'm tempted to use an RMR, but I also have a Primary Arms reddot that I'm not doing anything with, which is tempting to use. 45 offsets. The irons will be coming off now that the upper is built and tested. Also trying to decide on a bi-pod setup. I really hate how large and blocky the pic rail versions are, but besides a Magpul I don't really know what exactly what to look at. Optic is a ACSS Primary arms.  Attached File |

I finally got to zero the optic, and I have to say I'm impressed. I was somewhat skeptical about it at first, however the ACCS reticle was surprisingly easy to get used to. Zeroed at 100.
It took about 2 mags to get it dialed in where I wanted, but again that was also a breeze. Not to shill to much for Primary Arms, but frankly I love the optic. The price wasn't bad, and I really love the way they designed the reticle to be so easy to use. Has anyone mounted a small RMR at a 45 degree offset at the very back right side? With the Aero SPR mount its all of the rail space I have left, and I think this should fit in the pic slot I have remaining at the very back but I'm not 100% sure.   And after I got it zeroed I had to wrap things up and did a mag, firing 1 second apart. Pretty happy overall with this build.  |

I may look at getting the Vortex specific offset since I do like their RMR. I was wondering, what rail is that? I like the profile a lot. |

For me, offset made more sense because I did not have to lift my head and break cheek weld. Scope ring mount is lighter and may work better for those who shoot more heads up.   |

So here’s my recently built up RECCE. It’s a little heavy at 10.2 pounds as pictured, but that’s not too terrible considering it’s got a can, light, scope and the SOPMOD and pistol grip is stuffed full of 8x CR123 batteries. (Thermal slays batteries #TheStruggleIsReal).
All it needs now is an offset RMR once I find a suitable mount in the EE for my RMR. It’ll probably be 10.5 pounds with the offset RMR.
