AR-15's

Yes I agree. I shot my rifle for the first time on Saturday, adjusted the irons( Polymers? LOL! )first and then the Aimpoint. On mine the windage was bang on, only the vertical needed a turn or three. Very easy to accomplish. So much fun to shoot with a red dot.

So I have this idea for a dream build AR. I'd build an AR using an AXTS AX556 lower (I'd look at the ATRS gen.4, ), Vltor VIS-KM3 (12" rail), Noveske SS 12.5" or 14.5" LW barrel, and a ELCAN SpecterDR for the 'big' parts. Who else would run a rifle like this if they could afford it?
Reasons:
- The AXTS (and seemingly the ATRS) are about the most ambi lowers you can get.
- Don't know why, but I'd like a monolithic (Oh! Sorry, a "Polylithic") upper, and Keymod seems lighter and easier to use than other modular rails.
- Also I've read that the Noveske SS LW barrels handle heat just as good or better then the "standard" govt or heavy (IIRC) profile barrels.
- I like the idea of an EOTech paired with a magnifier, but it was pointed out to me that a (CANADIAN) SpectreDR would be lighter, why not?
But all this is more of a

Got a new upper today. Noveske 16" stainless Recon. She's a beaut!
As it's my first. I have nothing to compare it to. It's the LW version. She shoot's great but I need to get out to an outdoor range to set a proper zero. At some point I'll swap the stock for a CTR with a proper lock, this one wiggles, it's my only real complaint. The front pivot pin was a bi*ch to remove but after I got it out and did a proper clean it's OK now. She currently wears G96 cologne and is looking even better after a wipe down.
Arms East advises that my Geissele trigger is on the way so next week I'll perform the necessary surgery and have a post-op follow up.

I found this article on were to set your zero: http://www.thebangswitch.com/the-50-yard-zero-for-5-56mm/. Interesting readouts supporting his argument.
newly completed core 15 with 12" barrel
How do you like the light at 12 o clock?
It's an AAC Blackout 51T.
We all spend ridiculous amounts, when the last of my gear arrives I'm going to start a "How much does it cost to get into shooting ARs and pistols from scratch" thread.
Nice rifle, what stock is that?
BTW you are under surveillance from 7 o'clock.
