Fresh off of Casey's bench at Tactical Ordnance:
...and no ATT required.
(that's a 10 round 'pistol' mag)
Here was the shopping list for this particular project:
- 'ACE' skeleton buttstock (custom trimmed to my length of pull)
- standard AR-15 buffer tube (also custom trimmed to my length of pull)
- 'Troy Industries' folding BUIS (front and rear)
- 'Leupold' Prismatic 1x14mm scope (etched 'circle plex' reticle viewable even with illumination turned off [not a holosight or red-dot])
- standard Picatinny rail stock trimmed to size for the upper receiver and precisely matched to the rearward end of the upper rail on the quad-rail forestock (unless you look closely, it looks like a single uninterrupted rail running the length of the rifle between the front and rear BUIS)
- 'Midwest Industries' quad-rail forestock
- 'Tango Down' rail covers
- 'Yankee Hill Machine' Picatinny rail bipod mount (seen on the forward end of the forestock's lower rail)
During the process of disassembly, the factory iron sights - front and rear - were removed, along with the factory scope mount base plate on the upper receiver. Due to the rifle's construction, these factory components had to be taken off permanently with a grinder ...and - in the case of the factory front sight - very carefully due to its close proximity with the rifle's gas system. Where possible, metal components were parkerized, then the entire rifle was refinished with baked KG GunKote (black) prior to final reassembly.
