Lower PSA lower, LPK, mil-spec buffer tube, spring and buffer B5 Sopmod stock Magpul pistol grip PICS Took it to the range today to sight in at 50 yards and got what I expected for groups... Around 2-3" at 50 yards, so 4-6" equivalent at 100 yards with 10 round groups. I think with a better trigger and magnified optic I could manage better. For $265 for the upper, hand guard and barrel on sale; I will be happy if I can get some glass and trigger for it and get 3" at 100 yards. Was using hand loads of Hornady 55gr SP with cannelure, loaded with 8208XBR and Varget; 69gr Sierra MK without cannelure loaded with 8208XBR. Primers were either Remington 7 1/2 or BR4s. Shot approximately 200 rounds today with no issues at all  , so pretty happy for my first build. The compensator is loud, there was another person today with a 10.5" upper pistol and my rifle was louder than his by far. The rifle stayed on target though, and compared to an A2 birdcage, which is what I am used to shooting, it is much improved.

Nice I really wished I bought more of those uppers and barrel combos when they had them on sale. I got 2, which is good enough...but the price was too good to pass on. You and me both! My brother got in on the same deal and we are finishing his upper this weekend. |
