Just wanted to post some pics of my first AR build and send out a huge thank you to all who have provided the info for me to be able to do this myself. This a great site with a lot of knowledgeable folks.







It's a Del Ton 16" middy, YHM FF rail, Spikes lower, FDE CTR and MOE grip.

Can't wait to put some rounds downrange. Comments and criticism welcome.

I like it! What are you thinking in terms of optics?

I'm leaning toward an Aimpoint M3 when funds dictate.

Congrats on a job well done. That is a nice looking rifle.

I like it.... Is there a reason some prefer the middy over the carbine? That is a very nice build... How much you got in it, if you don't mind my askin?

I believe the mid length is supposed to run a little cleaner than the carbine length gas system. I think I probably have about $800 in total.

Looks great.  I am thinking about a similar config, but with a low profile gas block and either middy or rifle rails on a carbine.  I even have the same lower.  Arrived today.

How long was the wait with Del-Ton.  I would like to order for them, but the temptation to get it sooner has me looking elsewhere.

Thanks.

big I don't know where you are located but I picked up a complete Del-Ton upper at the Rodeo gun show a month ago.

Unfortunately I placed my order near the end of the panic buying, so I waited right at 6 months. I placed my order march 3rd and received it September 9th. I thInk things for them are begining to slack up a bit so I doubt you would have that kind of wait time. I have to say that my patience payed off, I'm very impressed with the quality of their product and their customer service was top notch. I highly recommend them and will probably order from them again.
