RUTGERS95 890 Posted October 18, 2013 anyone build or buy one? I just finished building one with spare parts and some bargains I found online. Built it for less than $325! I will add that $20 of that was a Condor Magazine Pouch. I gotta say, I dig the look of this style of rifle. Any other fans of these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holeshot 3 Posted October 18, 2013 From a realistic stand point, not necessary. HOWEVER I love them and I want one bad! Mine will just be an irons only range toy. I have a complete lower, upper receiver, BCG, CH, and hanguards just waiting in the safe. All I am waiting for is a deal on the specific barrel I want. What barrel did you use?

njJoniGuy 2,134 Posted October 18, 2013 Iron sights is THE reason to shoot a dissipator The longer sight radius is a real plus! I have a couple of Bushmaster 1/9 HBars among my herd and they don't get nearly the range time they deserve (yet!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artyguy 0 Posted October 18, 2013 I built one. Cost me a hell of a lot more than 325 though. Got any pics? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a complete lower, upper receiver, BCG, CH, and hanguards just waiting in the safe. All I am waiting for is a deal on the specific barrel I want. What barrel did you use? range and irons only toy. On this one, I went with a real cheap chrome molly barrel that a buddy of mine used on his that has been fairly accurate. He's hitting 6" steel plate at 250yds each shot. I wanted to see how cheaply I could do this but still have some good parts. Ironically, I only buy top end barrels regardless of builds but went with a alpha sports barrel for 109 that I bought a few weeks ago. It's still on sale http://www.shop.ar15hardware.com/16-Chrome-Moly-556-Nato-Govt-Profile-Barrel-alp16govt556.htm everything else is gtg, premium psa bcg, lwrc fcg, pm marked upper receiver, lower, etc etc....most spare parts left over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted October 18, 2013 I built one. Cost me a hell of a lot more than 325 though. Got any pics? will do tomorrow.....only cheap cause all I had to buy was a bcg, barrel, a1 upper receiver, mag pouch ( i know but wanted one for the look) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artyguy 0 Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah, to tell you the truth the only reason I bought that upper was because that was the only upper psa had in stock at the time. Had I known that it was going to take 11 months to get ID card I would have waited and gotten a better deal. Either way I love it. Here's a shot the day I picked up the lower and put it all together.

RUTGERS95 890 Posted October 18, 2013 looks great.....I went with the traditional A1 look. I'll get some pics up tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a couple of Bushmaster 1/9 HBars among my herd and they don't get nearly the range time they deserve (yet!) Those Bushy were the s**t back in the day! Of course with flat top uppers and all the free float rail options out there now it does make them kind of obsolete for anything but irons as you stated.

I know yours was a budget build and I see you went with the carbine gas 16" barrel, I plan on using a Mid-length gas LW 16" barrel which I see that company has listed as well. Please give a range report on that barrel, I am curious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please give a range report on that barrel, I am curious. I've shot my friends and it was fine. He has it set up like mine but like I said, hittig 6" steel at 250 and 1 liter water bottles with it. For irons, that's pretty damn good. Figured I'd build this for a beater rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUTGERS95 890 Posted October 18, 2013 thx.....gonna zero it this weekend. Forgot to add $10 as I needed a barrel nut. I have to add the front sling adapter still. I was thinking of changing the handguards but want to keep this cheap. Any ideas for say something less than $50 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted October 18, 2013 Nice pic and Yes you did say that. Sorry , I must of had a DSA. nah, I miss $hit all the time. I have to say, for a cheap barrel the thing shot really well and looked well made. I am not sure who makes them but read Centurion? For $109, you can't go wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
