Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 3, 2014 I'm doing my version of an SPR build. I have a bunch of parts laying around so I figured WTF? Here's the list: Spikes tactical upper Spikes honey badger lower Rainier arms match select 18" SPR barrel Adams arms rifle length piston systems Looking at a DD lite rail 3.0 12.0 RRA operstor A2 stock or a PRS Spokes enhanced LPK Working in a comp. I may have one made by the guy who did the one I have on my 700 SA. No idea on glass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestPX 172 Posted April 3, 2014 My SPR is my second favorite AR to shoot now. Done right, they're pretty versatile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glass wise a nice 1-4 or1-6 would be ideal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to tell myself to hold off buying a March 1-8 and go with a SWFA 1-6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 3, 2014 I have a trijcon accupoimt 1-4 on my .308 I could use and get a longer range scope for that. I'll look at the sure fire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex V 99 Posted April 3, 2014 Love my SPR. Love the NF2.5-10 on it. Love the BC 1.5 brake. I am running it with a Noveske barrel, but the Rainier are said to be really good as well. My only critique would be to drop the piston system. Not sure what you are trying to acomplish with that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MidwestPX 172 Posted April 4, 2014 Can you share the details of your SPR? Yep. From the pic thread: This is my first SPR which is pretty handy in tighter spaces without the can on and should be a nail driver since Odin guarantees 1MOA or better with these tubes. Upper Receiver: Complete PX Forged Upper Receiver Barrel: ODIN Works 18" 3-Gun Stainless BCG: WMD Guns Full-Auto Profile NiB-X Handguard: 14" Centurion Arms CMR w/ bipod stud Charging handle: Rainier Arms Raptor Muzzle device: AAC 51-tooth Blackout flash hider Lower Receiver: Midwest PX Premium Billet Lower Receiver LPK: Midwest PX AR15 LTG LPK with and ODIN Works Extended Mag Release (XMR) Trigger: Hiperfire 24E Grip: BCM Mod1 Stock: Luth-AR Skeleton stock Rifle alone weighs 7.5lbs and with the optic, 8lbs 15oz. I haven't weighed it with the can and bipod on there yet. Center of gravity is just forward of the magwell without the can which is right where I like it. My intent with this build was to have a true dual-purpose rifle that is handy enough that it can be used for close quarters while also being effective at 500 yards. The 1.5-5 is currently for sale and I'll be replacing it with a 1-6 or 1-8 to further improve this rifle's utility in both roles. I really like the stock. It's like a lightweight PRS with an adjustable cheek weld and buttplate. It weighs about 1.25lbs which is nearly half of a PRS. It's also close to half the price. As far as the polymer goes, it's not as smooth/uniform as what Magpul uses and reminds me more of a New Frontier Armory polymer lower which is fine since I know how much abuse those can take without failing. Shooting FGMM at 100yds, I was drilling out the center of an 8" Shoot 'N C target with relative ease. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrym 19 Posted April 4, 2014 I'm trying to tell myself to hold off buying a March 1-8 and go with a SWFA 1-6. I fell into a 1-4 Zeiss Diavari for next to nothing thats acting as a space holder for the US optics when I can summon the courage to hit buy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 12, 2014 This build is back on. I have a BCM lo pro gas block, a WOA 18" SPR barrel and tube. I'm ordering some custom hand guards and now just need an optic. I really like the accupoint I have in my LR308 1-4x. I'm looking for something similar. I'm really interested in trying the Hiperfire trigger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 18, 2014 Well, the parts list isn't what I initially thought it would be. I gave up on the piston system because it wouldn't fit under a hand guard I wanted. Here's what we have (photo to follow): Spikes Honey Badger lower RRA lower parts except BADASS safety and Hiperfire 24c FCG BCM large latch charging handle NiB BCG that I had PRS stock Rainier Arms Compensator Spikes tatical M4 upper with Spikes parts White Oak Armament SPR .223 Wylde 18" barrel Giesele lo pro gas block and tube Unique AR spider custom cut 15" hand guard (goes with the spikes spiders). I have everything but the hand guards in hand--don't know the lead time. I assume about a week. At which point I'll take it to the range BUIS to try it out. I'm still not decided on what optic.

Rob0115 1,105 Posted April 26, 2014 I'm waiting on hand guards but here's the spikes upper with BCM gunfighter large latch, WOA 18" SPR barrel and Rainier RUC comp. The gas block and tube are giesele. They're actually nice pieces for and only cost 48 bucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob0115 1,105 Posted May 23, 2014 Well, it's finally complete and I was able to go shoot after the scope arrived yesterday. I bought a Leupold VX6 1-6 german reticle #4 with Leupold base for a real good deal off of ARFCOM. I have to say I was nervous about the Hiperfire trigger, but man was I loving it. Just a light touch of my finger stage activated the single stage. I'm hooked. I also added the GG&G bipod (wow it wasn't cheap!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
