I just finished ordering everything to complete my build. To start, I bought a matched upper and lower made by a shop locally. Here's the parts list: Rainier arms select series 16" fluted stainless steel barrel Diamondhead v-rs t 10.5" free float handguard Fortis low profile standard gas block Stag arms chrome bolt carrier assembly Stag arms charging handle Stag arms lower parts kit Mako stock and tube The only thing I have left to buy is a mid length stainless gas tube and some optics. I have stock photos if you guys would like to see them but I will post more pictures as I receive parts and start the build What do you guys think? |
| Thank you! I just wanted to build one, I'll just be using it to have and to shoot. my other ar has a red dot on it so this one I'm going to go with some kind of scope. I have no idea what kind yet tho. The barrel I believe comes with a flash hider on it already. |

Here is the link to the barrel In the picture at the bottom it shows the barrel with one, that's what throws me off. It mentions the barrel extension. Would that be what I'm looking for? Excuse my lack of knowledge here, I'm pretty new to this |

I believe that's just a mock up. You may want to call or email them, as I don't recall their barrels coming with a flash hider/brake/comp installed unless its a special order... ETA: Yes it will come with the barrel extension attached, but I'm pretty sure you just get 1/2-28 threads on the muzzle end...

It is supposed to be a matched set, apparently they didn't check it thought. You have to squeeze them together to get both pins to go in. They do not go all the way in tho, and get stuck. I talked to the manufacture and I'm going to send it to them to repair/replace. |

Finally got my receivers back from the manufacture and started the assembly. I have the lower completely done and I'm going to take the upper to a gunsmith to torque the barrel down so I can complete the upper. Here are some pictures |

Excuse my lack of knowledge here, I'm pretty new to this Just FYI the barrel extension is what attaches to the upper receiver end and mounts into the receiver, creating the mating surface between the 2. The other end is generally referred to a "muzzle device," which includes flash hiders, compensators, brakes, etc. |
