Well my build is finally done and I couldn't have done it with out the group here from AR15.com and the all mighty search button. I haven't posted here nearly as much as I have just looked but I think over time I will have more to post with the knowledge I gained. Its pretty funny how this all started, my buddy Mitch purchased a composite bushmaster for $700 and after going shooting one time we were hooked. Now all we talk about is what part is coming next and where we can find ammo for deals. But enough with the small talk this is my first AR I have ever owned and built myself and I am stoked.
Parts list consist of the following from stock forward: - Magpul CTR Stock - Spikes Tactical Mil Spec Buffer Tube kit with ST2 Buffer - Seekins Precision SP223 Ambi Lower - Bad Safety Lever Standard left/ Short right - Giessele SSA-E Trigger - KNS Anti Roll Pin Kit - WMB Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier Group - Armalite Lower Parts Kit - Seekins Mag Release Button - Seekins Ambi Bolt Release - Magpul Moe Plus Grip - Magpul Pmag - Mega Monolithic Rifle Length Upper V2 - Rainer Arms Ambi Raptor Charge Handle - Rainer Arms Match Grade 14.5 Barrel 1/8 Twist - Rainer Arms Low Profile Gas Block - Rainer Arms Black Gas Tube - Yankee Hill Machine Phantom 28.5M Toothed - Magpul AFG V2 - Eotech XPS2 http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab230/bc7165/20120630_203430.jpg http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab230/bc7165/20120630_174126.jpg |

Looks good. Be aware however that as per Giessele the KNS pins are not recommended for use with their triggers. ETA: From Bill Geissele himself: Here is the deal on non-rotating pins Geissele SSA pins are 0.1550" dia +/-0.0001 Holes in the trigger can be 5 tenths over Geissele pin size Kns pins are either .154 or .1555. So they are either too loose or just about a metal to metal fit in our triggers Geissele pins are chrome-moly steel that is rough turned, rough ground, heat treated and then centerless finish ground. They are a quality pin. Why do we not recommend KNS pins? One is that they are the wrong size. Can the smaller diameter pins work? Yes, but they are not the intended size and there can be a 'softer" break to the 2nd stage with them. But the biggest reason is that the KNS pins are soft. Sometimes when they are installed they pull up a burr that causes havoc with trigger operation. I get calls from frustrated customers where they are totally disappointed in their SSA because it either feels terrible or it hangs up. I spend all kinds of time on the phone wracking my brain trying to figure out what is going on and trying to work the customer through the problem. Finally, I ask the customer to send the trigger in (which I hate to inconvenience the customer with) and the issue is that the KNS pins are jamming the trigger up. |

Looks great! how do you like that MOE+? been thinking about one for my SPR. FYI, they are never "done"  ...the black rifle is one of the most money sucking black hole banshee weapons out there    I totally agree on this is just the beginning. As for the grip it feels the best in my hands and doesn't slip at all. |
