Well started this project in January and finally got all my parts for my upper and put it together. Overall it was pretty easy... Slipped on the WOA 18" barrel and screwed on the barrell nut.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002261-1.jpg Not too bad. Although I didn't torque it enough the first time. I didn't notice until after I added the YHM FF and it began to move on me. Had to take the FF off and torque it to the next hole and ensure it didn't move anymore. Now that the barrel nut was on right I add the low pro gas block... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002262-1.jpg No problem. Screw on the FF and line it up with the uppers rail.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002263.jpg Here's a pic of the anti-rotation screws. Don't think the FF is going to budge... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002264.jpg Looking good ! Now just the YHM Phantom 5C2... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002264a.jpg Very nice if I do say so myself ! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002263a.jpg With his brother... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/raulr151/IM002263b.jpg There were some draw backs along the way. The RRA charging handle I bought did not work well with the DMPS upper. Also the bolt carrier key would not fit into the gas tube inside the upper. Anyone ever have that problem? The other BCG from my other rifle worked just fine. I guess I am going to order a new key and charging handle from DPMS. Here's what went into this one: DPMS Upper & Lower DPMS LPK Hogue grip VLTOR stock YHM Free Float Handguard YHM Low Pro Gas Block YHM Phantom 5C2 Flash Supressor WOA 18" SS SPR Barrel Now I just need a scope (Super Sniper) & rings, and the some BUIS, and then another lower, and then another upper, and then another barrel, and then........Ahhhh BRD ! ! |
