NY's AR Build

[NorthernYankee 94]

on e small thought.. if you are going through the trouble of handpicking everything.. get what you want the first time even if it means a longer wait.. just my 2 cents..

 

Very good point vlad, I kinda did that with the MOE stock. I will hold off and get the DD. Building it to my specs was one of the reasons for doing a full build. Thanks getting me to keep my plan.

I have been eyeing up the DD Omega rail, but I am not sure that I can justify the nearly 3x cost. In your opinion, is it worth the extra cost?

Barrel: DPMS BL-SASSGB Mini SASS Barrel w/Gas Block $310

that is the rail I had... I would definitely use it again.. the gun was pretty light...

what made you decide on the vltor upper receiver?

If you want to save $20, get a LMT BCG instead of the DD. They're more or less the same thing.

Everything I have read says that it is stiffer than a standard receiver, which in turn should in theory make it more accurate. Not that I am good enough to notice though.

 

Plus I like to do things that are different than the norm, and it does look cool.

I appreciate the suggestion, but as Vlad reminded me I am building this piece by piece so I might as well do it and not skimp. But the reason I wanted to go with the DD BCG is because I have a DD Lower Parts Kit so I figured I would keep the internals DD. Not that it matters, but it's a mental thing for me to match it up.

 

But I will keep the LMT in mind if the DD doesn't come back in stock.

Ordered the Vltor MUR today...I should have it by Friday.

Well I got some more parts in over the weekend. The Vltor is sick and looks great on the lower. Also got the PWS FSC556, Thanks again Sam!!!

 

Still need to get a few more parts, but I am getting close.
