Still need to take it to the range to see how it does. But I built it myself with the advice I got here:

Expect a call from the White House for claiming 'I built that'.



Looks good, waiting for rang report.

Took it to the range today. They have a gun smith who head spaced it. It checked out fine.

Shot great. I put around 100 rounds through it. I shot mostly 55gr 223 but had some Silver State Armory 5.56 77gr hollow point. Gun ate them both just fine out to 100 yards. The only thing I had for bracing was my elbows.

Optic arrives today but still need a mount. That was the first time I've ever used an aperture sight. I've either had optics, pistol sights, or commie sights (Mosin, SVT-40, Vepr). Looking forward to seeing what I can do with it when I have a bag and the optic.

Also looking forward to how it all cleans up. NiB bolt and stainless steel barrel should be nice and easy.

Got my scope on. Forgot that I'd built a different lower for it.

IMAG0246 by chilort, on Flickr

Odin works 18" DMR barrel (223 Wylde, 1:8 twist, rifle length gas system)
ALG handguard
Magpul stock
Anderson upper and lower (realize I should say, "assembled it myself" because I didn't cut out my own lower).
RRA 2-stage trigger
Toolcraft faceted NiB BCG
Gunfighter Mod 3 charge handle
PRI Quiet Control brake
Magpul stock
Upper and lower parts kits from PSA
Magpul flip up front and rear backup sights
Forward assist and gas tube from DPMS
Leupold VXR 4-12x50mm scope with sunshade (where I get to shoot most often we shoot into the sun in the afternoon -- sunshade isn't just for looks)
Burris P.E.P.R scope mount

Started ordering parts in early June.

Looking forward to taking it to the range again with the 2-stage trigger as compared to the mil-spec trigger in the other lower.

You didn't build that.  That was luck that the collection of random pieces fell into the shape of a functioning AR.

Too funny...  Hope the range time goes well!

Got a chance to try out the scope today. I like this rifle.

Nice stick. Simpler is more better.  


Holy Jeebus that's a lot of scope!
Just how far are trying to hit with that???

4-12 is not that much. I'd use a 4-12 to shoot groups at 100.

Plus it has a sunshade.
