Just finished a simple AR build. Here are the specs:
Anderson lower PSA PSA 16" Carbine Length 5.56 1:7 M4 Nitride Upper PSA Enhanced Lower Build Kit PSA Premium BCG 
Sighting in the rifle. 25 yards, bench rest, used regular ol' American Eagle 5.56, indoor range, rear carry sight and FSB front sight: 
Not bad for a $500 build. My initial goal was a simple M4gery. But after shooting it I will be changing the trigger (not bad as far as GI triggers go but still a GI trigger) and buttstock. |

Not being a jerk but 25 yards, bench rest? Doesn't seem good. Edit. I was looking at it wrong. I didn't see it was only 1 inch. My bad. No worries. It ain't 100 yards. I suspect it'll shoot 3-4 inch groups at that range. But 100 yards with iron sights ain't happening with these eyes and I don't plan on putting a scope on this rifle. |

Tell me about it. I loved red dots but my eyes went to shit over night it seems and now it's scopes and magnifiers for me. Thinking about laser eye surgery. |

I sold it and got a Holosun 503c with the circle dot reticle. I love it. It's crisp. Way crisper than my PA or T1. I really recommend it over a single dot. And it's not too much more considering. $219 vs $159 I think. I guess it's a bit more but worth it IMO. |

The holosuns seem to have a good reputation. But it's weird how some reticles are crisper than others. Still, an oblong dot doesn't necessarily make it harder to shoot tighter groups. You just have to keep putting it in the same spot on the target.
Nice build OP. I dig it. I'm not crazy about those type of handguards. The ribs spaced closer together looks weird to me. But that's it not a big deal. It's a cool build. Is it govt profile under the handgaurds? Some day I want to try one. My M4gery is an Hbar under the handguards and I sometimes wish it was lighter. But then again.... it's a good shooting barrel.
