Here's my latest build, just completed. Planning on trying it out this weekend.

 

Spike's lower, Palmetto State Armory lower parts kit, MOE stock (pinned permanently in place) and grip, Magpul ASAP, ARMS BUIS set, Larue LT129 mount, Aimpoint CompC, BCM upper with BFH, BCM BCG, Daniel Defense LITE 12" for-end, PWS FSC556 pinned compensator, MidwestPX 15 round Pmags.

 

I'd eventually like to get a magnifier for the Aimpoint... eventually...

Looks really good, Dan. Even with it being your first, looks like you did your homework on what to get and avoid-- good stuff.

 

All these ARs lately... makes me really want to consider working on an old project again. Now, only if BCM would get some more stock in :icon_redface:

Thanks guys. Yup did a bit of homework, along with help from forum members here. So far forum advice has netted me an excellent recommendation on my BA .308 setup, and now this new AR. I'm very impressed with how it turned out. I can't believe how lightweight it is. Everything is new on this rifle except for the Aimpoint, thats a transplant.

 

Jimmy, I'll PM you on CJ status this weekend. Hopefully we can catch each other!

Looks great Dan... is that a 14.5 or 16 inch barrel? Just looks really huge with that 12 inch rail.

 

Its a 14.5" (16" with welded brake). It does seem huge with the 12" rail system, but I really liked the concept of the mid-length rail and gas system. Better for both the gun and the user. Don't let it deceive you, its not heavy at all. Bathroom digital scale comes in at 8lbs with a loaded 15rnd mag.

My LMT. Love this gun. Bone stock - I have a red dot but the irons are so good I may never use it.

Hey Andy, how/where did you pin that SOPMOD....i'm trying to wrap my mind around on how to do it with mine for my AR build.

Very nice builds!

 

Andy - is that a monolithic upper? Very nice!

 

I have an almost identical set up, Dan - cept mine's a 16" BCM and a few different accessories. Everyone always comments on how heavy the AR looks with the 12" rail, but it's really not that bad. It's certainly not a 6lb lightweight carbine, but no one where near as heavy as everyone seems to think.

I didn't pin it - LMT actually sells a "compliant" version of this AR with a pinned stock and a barrel not just missing a flash hider, but no threads either to mount a break.

It looks like they removed the slide-release mechanism for the stock, drilled and tapped the tube to accept a bolt and then just bolted it in place. Straightforward if you have the tools for the drilling and tapping!

Caine,

Thanks, yes, monolithic upper. I could use this thing as a sledgehammer and it will still shoot sub MOA (if only I could shoot sub MOA :icon_e_wink: )

Dan,

How do you like that Magpul AFG? I find I don't like verticals and was thinking of getting an AFG. Nice build, btw!

Andy, So far I like the AFG a lot. I'm also not a fan of forward vertical grips, so I picked this up to give it a try. The feel is best described as a common sense ergonomic thing. I'll know more once I get to shoot it this weekend! :D

I agree, love my AFG. I put my thumb over the top rail and grip around the AFG, makes it easier to hold the gun to my body and "drive" the weapon.

Yay I finally get to post in here!

 

Got the final shipment last night from Del-Ton and put it all together.

 

Still waiting on Magpul BUIS sights to come in. I have a cheap (read:really cheap) scope I picked up off CheaperThanDirt that I may throw on there just to shoot it this weekend. I'm so anxious to hear that first boom.

 

Everything feels tight and looks machined good so kudos to Del-ton. Took about 2 weeks to come in so not nearly as bad as some other people have had.

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      By GRIZ · Posted

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
