 My first build from scratch. I have spent the last few month buying deals when I found them on parts and slowing pulling all the parts together. The final parts arrived yesterday and I assembled it this morning. It's a 16 inch 300 AAC Blackout. DPMS Lower DPMS stock assembly (standard A2 Stock, receiver extension, and buffer) Magpul MOE+ Grip DPMS extruded upper Ballistics Advantage Barrel, 300 AAC Blackout, 16 inch, 1:7 twist, pistol length gas system Spike's Tactical pistol length gas tube Aim Surplus low-pro gas block KAK Industry micro flash can Aim Surplus BCG Anderson charging handle Aero Precision M-Lok 15-inch forearm Burris MTAC 1-4x24 scope Aero Precision ultra-light extended scope mount The only part missing is the Geissele G2S two stage trigger that will replace the standard single stage that is presently in the lower. I also need to find and M-Lok comparable sling stud for the forearm so I can put a sling on it for hunting. Just finished it this morning so I have not shot it yet. Neighbors would get grumpy. I am looking forward to seeing how well it shoots. Planning to shoot a carbine match with it later this summer. Probably hunt deer with it this fall. |

Thanks guys! Other than just being my first build it will also be a platform to start playing with 300 AAC BLK. I am intrigue by the cartridge. My brother has a 300 BLK carbine that will shoot nearly minute of angle out to 260 yards with handloads using the Barnes TAC-TX bullets. I am hoping mine will be equally accurate. The MTAC scope was a little bit of a compromise. I wanted a 1X power scope for the occasional carbine match and the 4X should be sufficient for the ranges I might try to use 300 BLK at. For long range matches I have a 5.56 rifle I normally use. But primarily it will be used as a Deer/Coyote rifle. A little more magnification might have been nice but from looking at a few scope I was very impressed with how bright it was for the price. Where I hunt most shots are under 100 yards and 300 yards is probably as far as the terrain would allow. |
| Mcb, you mentioned you were going with the Geissele 2s trigger, that's what I am getting as well. Thought I would pass on that rainierarms.com is having a sale through tomorrow at midnight on all their Geissele products, including the 2s, which they have for $179.99. Just passing the info along! |
