Built this for my Father-In-law last night. My Brother in law liked the first one i helped him build he ended up taking it so I had to put together another... i think he just likes buying parts for me to put together...

 

I named her "Charlene"

 

 

 

Soup to nuts, he spent a total of $750 on the build. He'll be shooting it for the first time tuesday!

Barrel threaded with new brake

 

Sorry will take better pics.  Just finished cleaning it up.

 

Finally got time to install the Magwell and Mako grips...  Feel good.

 

 

 

Custom made by Carlucci Arms, Randolph NJ. 5.56/.223, waiting for their custom fluted barrels to come in. Not pictured but I was able to get the new Magpul 20 magazines from forum member MidwestPX pinned to 15 rounds. Still adjusting all the sites but able to put every shot at 200 yards in a six inch circle. I. Love shooting this thing! Can't wait till Friday and another trip to the range.

What's that torpedo launcher on top? Can't see the name clearly and don't recognize the profile?

That's reserved for my strong side cargo pocket/rear slash pocket depending on my uniform for the day.

I also added a one piece cleaning rod that i keep incase of a squib

S&W M&P 15-22

Nice 15-22! Next year I shall have one.

thank you for all these pics, you guys are giving me some great ideas for my build!

Something I've been working on...

 

Man I have to come out of retirement, I'm getting the itch again. Very nice Midwest!!

Something I've been working on...

 

What's the length on those? 14.5", 16", & 18"?

 

What's the skinny on the shorter barrel with the long rail?

They're all 16" hammer forged Centurion Arms barrels.  The only variable is the handguard which are 9", 12", and 14"

Midlength gas system? Details Man! Details!

Haha, yeah, middy gas, seven twist, extra thick chrome lining, chambered in 5.56.  Barrels are HPT/MPI.  Pretty legit tubes that rank right up there with BCM and DD, IMO.  The receiver itself is a Cerro Forge machined for us.  M4 feedramps, laser T-markings, hardcoat anodized.  BCG is our standard full-auto rated phosphate BCG with a 9310 MPI bolt, 8620 chrome-lined carrier, investment cast chrome-lined gas key, grade 8 fasteners, Permatex between the key and carrier, and a S7 tool steel extractor.  Links to products in each build:

They'll be available pre-assembled eventually however I want to get some rounds on the initial units and make sure everything's been worked out as far as the build process so I can make sure we're turning out high quality uppers.  I have to wait to get them back from photography but I did weigh the upper with the 14" rail before it shipped and complete with BCG and charging handle, it came out to under 4lbs.  These Fortis rails are no joke when it comes to strong but light.

I have been eyeing those Fortis rails along with the new Geissele ones. Since you have both brands can you make a comparison of the two? weight,feel, fit and finish? I just looked at your site and the Centurion CMR look real nice also.

Will they be available without the rail?

They're all high quality rails in every regard.  The Fortis rails are lighter and fit my hand better so I prefer them to both the Geissele and Centurions.  The CMR does have one drawback and it is that it is only guaranteed to work with Centurion gas glocks...pretty much anything else needs to be ground down to fit.

 

Will they be available without the rail?

 

Yes, eventually.

I love the look of the rail except for the bottom. I want something more like the Troy Alpha. Interested to see what the price point is on these with and without the rails.
