Posted: 3/27/2007 8:01:14 PM EDT

Finally got my lower receiver this last weekend so I was able to finish my first build. Way way easier than i thought it was going to be.

Picture quality sucks but anyways here are the details on it:

RRA NM A2 Complete Upper receiver
RRA NM 2-stage trigger and lower parts kit
RRA Buttstock kit
DPMS Lower Receiver

After shipping the total cost was $966

Sweet post and nice rifle. Looks like you need a good rest though.

If thats your soft bag to your left, switch it for the hard case. That should help a lot with the vertical dispersion. Nice job! So what are your plans for #2?

M4ergy with 14.5 barrel and perm a2 extended flash hider. Already have some of the parts such as the stripped lower, stripped flattop upper and flash hider, and collapsible CAR stock (every m4 ive handled in the army had that stock not the 6 position ones you see on most m4geries.

If your state allows it, spend the $200 and ditch that overlong flash hider!
