Just threw on the Troy ambi mag release. Feels great!

 

Added a few things to "Krystal" today. Installed my new Umbrella Corp BCG and a Custom Rail Cover i had made. I love the way she's coming together. Still waiting for my EOTECH to come in. For now there is an EOTECH Clone on her that i have for a 22 build i'm working on.

I love the Troy ambi. I have them in all build ar style rifles even my 15-22.

It was either the Troy or the Norgon, and the Troy seemed like the better design. Definitely makes lefty life easier!

I love that! Umbrella corp. Dope!

 

The upper is currently listed for sale in the marketplace.

Bcarlos, your avatar looks almost identical to BLF

DITTO...... that looks awesome.... nice job. Love that lower. What hand grip is that.

 

 

I am really digging that Umbrella Corp as well. Time to start getting cash together....

Typed in patriotic on google this one came up, saw it, liked it, used it.

I must claim rights on that avatar. Its mine.

Technically it's a commonly used meme, so it's really anybody's.

I was kidding.

Oh...

I'm sure you can find millions of other patriotic avatar, just not the same as somebody else's.

Well that's between you and BLF.

Some fantastic looking rifles in here, was bored decided to take a pic of my new one for here:

 

 

@SgtToadette how do you like that mag release?

I'm still very new to it and haven't had the chance to use it extensively.

 

I was between the Troy and The Norgon, but I think the Troy is the better design on paper. I had heard reports that the Norgon requires a bit more force to actuate, which was a bummer for me.

 

Some people have complained that the Troy can scuff the receiver, which I couldn't care less about. All I know is that it seems to work well and naturally. Mags fall free with ease and it does exactly what it advertises.

Finished my dedicated .22lr build today. Not wild about the hand guard (I may just add grip tape), and I'll be making other changes in the future, but for now she weighs just 5 pounds, 15 ounces! (I know, no gas system, etc.)

AB Arms handguard, New Frontier complete polymer lower, Tactical Solutions AR-22 M-4 upper, Troy rear folding battle sight, and I forget what grip and comp I used.    Yes, needed a comp because the upper came with a flash hider.

 

Maybe I'll make the colors match someday.

Approximately how much did it run you to put it together?

About $600. Tactical Solutions uppers are a bit spendy, but very high quality and accurate. Someone just looking for a fun .22lr AR may be better off getting a S&W M&P 15-22.

Thought I had linked this, but I guess I never did. Just finished this build for my father-in-law. Supposed to be like his M16 from the military, just shorter.

 

Note: Like always, that's a NJ legal PINNED 15 round mag!

if you want to give your support hand a little more room.. you can drill three tiny holes to accommodate that front sling point... I did it to my AR when I was running that hand guard and liked the extra room I got out of it.. 

 

I did the same thing vladtepes mentions. Makes a world of difference.

Hey Vlad, when you put on your AFG was it really tight to fit on or did it slide right on?

it was pretty snug.. 

 

I really bounce back and forth between liking it and not liking it.. I think it is going to end up on my SBR...

I put one on my Stag a few weeks ago and haven't gotten a chance to test it out yet, but I was a little concerned since it was a tight fir putting it on.  At least I know it won't move.
