[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New FDE Build

Decided to cash out some of my 6 years worth of credit card points. Here's the specs:

Doublestar Lower
CMMG 16" M10 Chrome Lined Midlength 1/7" barrel w/ M4 feedramps
M4 Upper
Magpul MIAD Grip
Magpul CTR Milspec Buttstock
Magpul Enhanced Trigger guard.
Magpul ladder covers on top and sides, solid panel on bottom
TangoDown shorty vert grip
Larue Tactical 11.0 Rail
Gunkote "Matte Dark Earth" on the painted metal
H3 Buffer
Bravo Company (BCM) bolt carrier group
Badger Tactical Latch charging handle
Vortex Flash Hider

Still to get:
Geissele SSA Trigger
Super Sniper
Larue Tactical LT-104 Scope Mount
Troy FDE BUIS (Front and Rear)

All the colors are technically "Flat Dark Earth," but there are slight differences in shade between the Gunkote, Magpul, and TangoDown.

Nice guns you got there.
Can you tell me the distance from the front of the LaRue rail to the gas block? Doesn't need to be real accurate.

The front of the gas block is pretty much flush/even with the end of the rail. I went with the 11.0 so that I wouldn't have any of the gasblock sticking out.

Nice. I just did one similar, only black and an Armalite middy barrel.

Most excellent

Why didn't you coat the buffer tube?

I'm always finding new ways to make myself feel stupid

I was going to coat the tube, but after test fitting the CTR, it was TIGHT, and I was worried I wouldn't have enough clearance for the thing to slide. So I opted to not coat it.

One thing about Magpul, they make their stuff to spec.
