I finished up my Johnny Cash "one piece at a time" rifles. I've tried to cover all my bases so I used parts from: Colt, Armalite, RRA, Oly, DPMS, Fulton Armory and used some Bushmaster tools. homepage.mac.com/pflannigan/PhotoAlbum5.html |

Ski, The scoped rifle came together as a result of parts left over when acquiring various pieces to build the CMP A2 rifle. FLAT TOP: Lower Receiver: DPMS Lower Parts and Buttstock: RRA Trigger Spring: RRA replaced with $15 4.5 pound spring Flattop Upper: from Fulton Armory Charging Handle, Bolt and Carrier Group: Colt Scope Mounts: High profile Leoupold Rifleman rings Scope: Weaver Grand Slam 6-20X40 mm with extension tube (extension clears the vent holes so this should help with barrel mirage). (Had this on a .243 and it's just too much optics for deer hunting). Free Float Tube: Fulton Armory (lowest priced tube) Three piece tube! Gas Block: DPMS Gas Tube: Fulton Armory Barrel: 1x10 twist, Olympic stainless (blackened) ultra match (.223 chamber) CMP A2 Lower Reciever, parts, buttstock: RRA w/ two stage trigger A2 Upper: Fulton Armory Charging Handle, Bolt and Carrier Group: Fulton Armory Rear Sight: 1/2 MOA click Armalite Front Sight: NM taper from Fulton Armory Handguards: unknown Barrel Float Tube (under handguards): unknown Gas Tube: unknown Barrel: 1x8 twist, Fulton Armory chambered Douglass Stainless Steel (Fulton Armory modified (Wylde type) chamber). Hoping to shoot these soon and will report results. This happened because I bought an upper on Ebay without asking enough questions. The upper had a Colt large front pin receiver with bushing (sloppy fit and poor feeding from magazine) with Oly barrel, Colt bolt, carrier, charging handle, under handguard free float tube. So... I have one stripped Colt upper for sale... on an auction site for $75 starting bid and $100 buy it now. If no one has bid yet, I'll entertain any offers from the AR-15 team. (But I really wouldn't recommend this if you want to slap on a mil-spec lower...at least I didn't find it satisfactory). |

I took the mutts out today and they did pretty good I think. The Flat top had one five shot, 100 yard group under 3/4 inch. The A2 version suffered from my lack of practice and put 17 shots in about 3 1/2 inches. Did the same with a 30 round group. The A2 barrel was brand new, so I hope to do better with it with more practice and a bit more break in. Fun stuff! Here are some pics. [url]http://homepage.mac.com/pflannigan/PhotoAlbum6.html[/url] |

I took the flat top out to the 200 yard range today. It was sunny and warm but the wind gusted from 5 to 20 mph. To my surprise, 75 grain Black Hills ammo did the best in that 1x10 twist; under 2 inches!
