I already posted my new builds on another thread, but here they are again

Started as a DPMS M4 upper, and a stripped Mega lower.  I originally build it as a M4gery, but after about a 1000 rounds I realized I didn't need a M4gery.

So I kept the barrel since it was sub-MOA and rebuild it as a coyote rifle.  Bipod is for the picture only I don't use one while hunting 'yotes.

I think your 80% build needs a 100% mag release!!!!!!!!! But I do admire somebody who can get it done right!

It looks like it needs the bottom of the mag well milled out too...  Wait...  I bet it is one of those "FAB-10" style receivers for those poor Kommiefornia folx who have to deal with their crazy restrictions...

My latest Zombie Gun.  Except for the ACOG and the lower receiver, I purchased all of the parts off of the EE.  It took me nearly a year to acquire all the parts, accessories, doo-dads.  Range report to follow.  

My thanks to the following individuals and dealers:

Denny's Guns
Eagle Firearms
BrightFlashlights
DSG Arms
G&R Tactical
Rainier Arms (Tactical Solutions)

BTW, posted an ACOG mount question on the Optics Forum if any of you are willing to give your $0.02:

My first build.  Still a ways to go but had to show it off.  Quite a thrill seeing it take shape from a bag of parts.  Put the upper and lower parts in sitting at work. hishttp://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/272/272381/folders/208990/1600451build2.JPG

I can still see it

J/k, nice color.

Maybe that would suck if it was completely camoflauged to the natural environment and you couldn't find it after laying it down.

I don't mean to offend anybody, but I've always wondered - what constitutes a "build?"

Is a rifle a qualified self-built if the owner buys a complete upper and a complete lower and simply puts them together, or does it mean that the builder used stripped receivers and assembled everything?

Or both?

Thanks,
Lincoln

ETA:
Before coming here (to Arfcom) I had told someone that I built a rifle when I assembled a complete lower and a complete upper. I just want to know what is referred to here when we're looking at other's projects.

Either way there are some talented tinkerers in here.

Heres a updated pic. I swapped the Vltor rifle stock for the LMT/SOPMOD. It works much better for me. And I finally got a front Troy BUIS.

Yes Steve, it is a techneque used in 3 gun compititions mainly (Todd Jerret uses it) but applies in tactical situations as well.

This is not my first build, but it is my favorite......

M&A Parts Kit (Started out as a 16" carbine kit) Wilson match barrel trimmed to 11" on a Form 1.
Vltor Mod stock kit
"T" Marked flat top upper of unknown origin (From the EE)
M4 Hand guard is from Ebay (Preban)
Green Tactical Sling is also an Ebay item
Tango Down Pistol Grip
Phoenix Flash Hider
Olympic Lower Rec.
and of course, the ever-present EOTech 511
The only internal upgrade from original is I replaced the old bolt cam pin with a new one from DPMS that has the Titanium Nitride coating on it as my old one wore out pretty quickly.



Enjoy,

While it's not my first AR15, it is my first BUILD.  If I had to do it all over again, I might have picked a rifle with an A2 Stock rather than the MagPul M93-B.  

Here are my LMT M4 and my recently completed Lauer Custom Weapons A3.
The LCW is a 16" Fluted A3 upper  with a LCW lower - topped off by an EoTech and backed by the MagPul M-93B.

CMT BCG (Denny's Guns)
RRA fixed telestock
MOS 16" 1in7 bbl (G&R Tactical)
J&T LPK
BM carry handle
BM CAR handguards
EGW Gen. II Compensator

It cost me about $670.00 to put the rifle togeather.
