Hello everyone! I just wanted to share a few pics of my very first AR build. I never owned or fired an AR15 before so i told myself to really get to this platform, i will build one myself! Well, 2 months later i ended up with this....
Thanks for looking! |

I exceeded my character limit and parts list could not make it in original post.... so here it is.
Lower: Spikes Tactical CMMG lower parts kit w/ ambi selector POF 4.5lb drop in trigger w/ anti walk pins Troy industries enhanced trigger guard Troy industries Ambi mag release Troy industries Ambi bolt release ATI buffer, buffer tube and spring ATI scorpion x2 grip Magpul STR stock Upper: Spikes Tactical upper receiver BCM gunfighter ambi charging handle BCM bcg BCM 16" barrel (1:7 twist) BCM gas tube BCM mod 0 com Geissele 13" MK4 rail w/ included barrel nut and Geissele super gas block Magpul MBUS sights |
| Lefty shooter here as well! My plan was to go with the battle arms selector soon as i felt the ambi one that came with the cmmg LPK was a little boring. As for glass, i might go with an Eotech 512 or similar with a g33 magnifier or just throw on a Vortex strikefire 2. I'm still very undecided on optics at the moment. I'm open for recommendations! |

That's fine... put em back on and we will do majic. |
| My glass recommendation is a Holosun HS 503C. You get the dot/circle reticle of the EOTech in a aimpoint-micro sized package and the solar panel gives it near infinite battery life, all for a little over $200 on amazon. They also have an EOTech clone for $300-ish. Holosun is underrated IMO. They're not junk despite the price. I plan to get one for my build once I can scrounge some more money and am debating a magnifier. The InRange guys on youtube have decided to use them for they're What Whould Stoner Do project, which is an endorement for me. |

Welcome to ar15 and nice build! Have plans for the next one yet? So do I. I would love to do a flat dark earth build! Maybe carbine length? I would love an A2 style front site on my next build with the shorter handguard. Maybe a pistol or SBR after that! Quoted:
