Well, ALMOST done. I'm going to replace the vertical grip with a Tango Down or a Dieter CQB... that happens next week. Sorry I don't have inline pictures, I don't have any hosting right now!! My Build Let me know what you all think... It was a great experience and I learned a lot about the rifle, how its built, and some things to look out for! |

Yes, it was very easy to install. Well, after getting the original FSB off which was a royal pain. Well... Colt M4 Match Target GG&G Floating rail system GG&G "sling thing" for the rail Smith Enterprises Vortex YHM front flipup/gasblock ARMS #40 flipup rear Vltor standard stock kit Vltor rubber buttstock pad Ergogrip EOTech 512 Magpul enhanced trigger guard El cheapo vertical grip soon to be replaced with either a Tango Down or a Dieter CQB (probably this one). I haven't decided on the tac light. I'm going to think about it because if I decide to get a light I'm going with one of those surefire grip/light combos instead of getting the TD or Dieter. I guess I must have put it together correctly because I've put about 500 rounds through it and it shoots wonderfully without a single malfunction. I've got a harris bipod that I switch out when I'm sighting it in, etc... Its been a lot of fun. I had an ACOG Reflex on it and while I like it in optimal lighting conditions the EOTech is way better. The Reflex would be so sweet if they would just come up with a simple battery-backup for it. They are trying to make the tripower when they could have just come up with a reflex that has battery. When I put a light on the fiberoptic the recticle is beautiful and the optics have excellent clarity you just get washout in a lot of lighting conditions... hence the EOTech. Thanks for all the help during the build. I sure ran into my fair share of issues while learning how this thing is put together beyond a normal field stripping. It was very fun and I can't wait for my next one!! Oh.. to answer your question about the sight, yes I really like it. I like how its outta the way when I'm going optic... with the longer front sight pin it matches the ARMS #40 perfectly and I get absolute co-witness when they are both extended.

Nice Rifle! Have you started thinking about what your going to build next  If you have, then that's a symptom that the uncontrollable BRD is taking possesion of you I have recently completed my first 2 builds and am also thinking about a battle light. I probably will go with the surefire grip/light combo myself. |

Thanks to all, I really appreciate the compliments. As far as my next build, I have no idea. Its strange... I'm looking at my M4 and saying "its done???". Its like NOW what am I going to do?? That's probably the bug to build another one! I wouldn't mind building a shorty if I could get a vortex permanently installed on the barrel, perhaps that's my next one! |
