I've been lurking for a few weeks now reading and learning as much as I could. I started with a stripped PSA lower, LPK and MOE grip and stock. I assembled that and then the hunt was on for an upper. I quickly learned it was cheaper to buy a complete setup than build my own. I end up going with a RedX Arms 16" pencil profile. Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. I still plan to beta few more goodies for it down the road. Right now I just want to get out and shoot the thing. My second child was just born 5 days ago so shooting is on hold for a little bit.
Specs: Lower: Palmetto State Armory receiver with their parts kit and "upgraded" trigger. Magpul MOE grip and adjustable stock. Upper: RedX Arms complete assembly: 16" 1/9 pencil profile, rifle length quad rail, Magpul MBUS sights, standard BCG and Gunfighter Mod 4 Future plans: Magpul XTM rail covers, flash light and a bi-pod I just wanted to build a fun plinker. I might end up doing a little hog hunting if I get the chance. I apologize for the HORRIBLE image quality. http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af59/brnnrubr/image_zps8c6798c0.jpg http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af59/brnnrubr/image_zps1aa0d04d.jpg |
Welcome and congrats on baby and rifle! Nice build...shoot it before you begin adding weight to it. If you have to have a bipod...consider a QD mount so you can remove it. They add a lot of weight and you will probably find you don't want it on there except at the bench. Not too many situations where I felt I needed my bipod. A good set of shooting sticks or a Primos shooting stick works great out in the field. The Primo stick is good for binocs or spotting scope too.

Thanks, guys. I'm curious about the suggestion to mix up mags. I'm the kind of guy that if something works, stick with it. I would just like to hear the other point of view.
As far as the bipod goes, I agree with you there. Not really sure why I want one, just thought I needed it. LOL |
