Hi folks,

This is my first post here, and I'm glad to say I've started my 2nd build.

I'm using a DPMS lower and parts kit along with a Samco grip. I'm leaning toward one of the newer Magpul stocks and definitely a flat upper with chrome-lined M4 profile barrel. I haven't decided whether I want rails on the forend as I'm partial to traditional carbine or M4 handguards.

Here's a pic of my new baby:

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I'm building this to replace my long-lost CAR-15 which was lost in a home invasion a couple years ago. I fell in love with the Samco grip then, after trying a Hogue and a couple others (anybody want a Hogue cheap? LOL).

My previous was built on a RRA lower, and I have to say the DPMS has a nicer surface feel. Does/did RRA not teflon coat their lowers, perhaps?

Would you please give us the details of your home invasion and explain how they were able to disarm you of a CAR15?Please share that story with us.I'm sure others would like to hear the details so we may be able to avoid this happening to us

PS the more simple the better I like them as a rule KISS

I wasn't home at the time the home invasion happened. Left to my own devices, I would have called it a burglary, but the police report as well as the charge against those responsible read "Home Invasion," so that's what I call it, too.

Sadly, my AR was among the stolen items never recovered.

Here's a picture of me and my old AR-15. Damn I miss that rifle.
