In any case... someone please take away my "Soviet Card". I am putting together an AR. Everything is ordered and things are coming together. Got a lower at a good price along with other things, so had to pull the trigger on it.

 

I am told it will fill my need for a gun that I can play with during 3 gun, however it will be a near or sub .5 moa gun at the range.

 

Spikes Lower w/ Daniel Defense LPK. Magpul Trigger guard.

LMT stock buffer kit (tube, buffer, spring)

Ace Skeleton Stock (full size)

Geissele SSA trigger

 

WOA complete upper. 18 inch SS match barrel with 1 in 7 twist.

 

Thanks to MidwestPX. Ty, you have terrific items at terrific prices. Thank you Shane for being a bouncing block for ideas.

Pics pics pics!!

Nice! Welcome to the AR Club. Sounds like a sweet set-up!

Pics will come... the only thing I have now is the Spikes lower and the Ergo Grip. =P

 

LPK, trigger etc will come tomorrow.

 

Stock will be here by Saturday.

 

Upper will be sent out early next week. =)

Awesome Maks, I cant wait to see the finished product.

Very nice, Maks. Congratulations and welcome to the American Rifle club

Must be something about Fall because I'm putting together an AR myself, though mine will be for different purposes I suppose-- but almost the same parts!

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."

 

Have fun with it, Maks.

Welcome to the club, Maks! It's about freakin time

Hanging around Tim gives me the jarhead thoughts and hanging with shane is for the toys.

Yeah, for all the talk about how AR's are a pain in the butt, difficult to clean, too expensive, prone to failures, etc etc... YOU JUST GOTTA OWN ONE. Welcome to the club.

Ever since I was introduced to LMT's, LWRC, etc.... I have come to realize alot of the shortfalls can be fixed or minimized.

 

Here is a pic of the upper.

 

Anytime brother. Now ditch that Ace and get a PRS!

shane... next one...

 

There are plenty of different lego blocks... and lots of projects.

 

I can see a PRS on a 26 inch WOA match upper. =P

Now ditch that Ace and get a PRS!

What is a Jarhead Thought? I know what mine are, but are they rubbing off on you?

 

It is in the air, I am building one too.

26!!!! Dood, take a look at my last pic in the AR pic thread, thats a 24 on the gap!!!!

that looks a little heavy for 3-gun, no?

At our level it doesnt really matter. So if you can dual purpose your AR, why not....

Fair enough, airplane shane, sometimes we have to make due with what we have. but i was just curious since he was explicitly building this with competition in mind so a lighter setup might have been a typical choice. I know i wouldn't want to hump my RRA varmint gun around a competition field for very long!

Actually this one is not that bad.

 

I got it in 18 inch and only the barrel is a bit heavy weight. In reality, it is the same match grade barrel used in other guns where you shoot it off of a sling, no bipod.

 

The barrel weight is 3 lbs, and optional fluting would of save around a lb.

 

Just wasnt worth it... considering 85% of the time, this would be used for target shooting, and 15% of the time for a stage or two.

Id be curious to the final weight of the rifle. My bet, 9.75.

Just received the LPK, Buffer stock kit and trigger.

 

will be getting the stock tomorrow it looks like.

Maks has been working out. He can lift the rifle now.

Lower is compete and assembled minus the rear takedown pin, spring and pin, which I am waiting to put in tomorrow when I get the Ace Stock tomorrow.

 

Impressions... no issues, took my time with it. Daniel Defense parts kit is really nice. Only issue is the screw that came with magpul trigger guard is a wacked allen wrench size, that my standard kits did not have it... used the size smaller to get it half way in.

 

Trigger... Totally awesome and absolutely worth the upgrade.

By the way, make sure you use the trigger and hammer pins that came with the SSA. They're precision ground and are anti-walk (do not use KNS or other anti-walk pins per Bill Geissele)

Yes, used the pins that came with the Geissele.

 

What is the difference between them?

Pics...

Nice start Maks - looks good so far

the stock is on....

What are your thoughts on the foam on the ACE stock? I've never dealt with it personally, but it seems like it eventually becomes a sore issue for a lot of people.

 

ETA: I forgot to say that its looking really good . Must be getting antsy for that WOA upper to come in.
