I will make an addition to my first post now that my 2nd upper is assembled. Likely to be topped with a PST gen 2 5-25 FFP in a 20 moa ADM but that could change. Still waiting on brass and dies so no rush.
Thank you ATRS

Scourge that Odin works hand guard looks slick! Were any mods required to install it and are you happy with it?

As others have said, if you got a cheap used 20" norc AR and scavenged parts and sold the recievers afterwards, you could probably be in as low as $1350. Or if you applied the same tactics to a cheaper 20 amarican AR, it would be about $1700. A budget custom build with free float rail is at minimum $2000. $2500 will get you a respectable build. $3000-6000 will get you varying degrees of Gucci. From there on out its quite questionable what you are getting for dollars spent. Haha

I know you are only into yours for $1400, but that wont be the norm.

Yours is built off of NEA/BCL everything basically, lots of it wheeled and dealed into with the excess sold off to reduce the total all in cost of parts. It ended up quite hefty and the NEA rail broke with in 2 weeks. The $25 trigger has proven to have a stiffer pull than a Gen 1 Tavor (12lbs for those of you not familiar). The CCS stock has some pretty serious damage from the previous owner too.

You made some compromises and did some work to get yours for the price you did...


Anyways, here is the pre-built one I bought for $2500 2 weeks ago.

Upper:
Muzzle Device: A2 Birdcage
Barrel: BCL SS fluted.
Gas Block: BCM
Handguard: Erathr3 14"
BCG: Brownells NiB
CH: Radian Raptor LT

Lower:
LPK: Brownells
Trigger: CMC 3lb trigger pack
Safety: V7 Ambi
Bolt Catch: Geissele Maritime
Grip: A2 (coming soon: Magpul K)
Buffer/spring: Geissele
Buffer tube/castle nut: Brownells
Reciever end plate: Radian QD
Stock: M4 Collapsible (coming soon: MFT Minimalist)

Total Weight: 6.8lbs.

People you have some very nice builds ......and I have to say Alberta tactical.....wow very nice work ...your pride shows....workmanship is a very high degree......please keep up the good work....
Very impressive!!!
 
Had a chance to oil the cerakoted parts so the color shows up better. Then I was looking at the difference between the FDE on my Varmit vs the Burnt Bronze on the Sporter and decided to take a picture of the whole modern family.

Top quality receiver just do not like the loose fit, but that is just me with any two piece receiver set black rifle.

Decided to turn my Colt SA20 sort-of-C7A1-clone into a Sporter. Lower went together very easily, now I just have to work on the upper. I've built a ton of AR lowers over the years, but have never stripped or built an upper, so this should be an adventure!!









The goal is for it to look pretty much exactly like this when it's done

Couple hints: Go slow, if it seems like you have to force anything, stop and think how to do it differently. Easier to punch the pin out of the gas tube in the front sight block and then push the gas tube into the upper and around the block. avoiding the need to knock out or mangle the tapered pins as so often happens. It's staying on the barrel anyway. Then with the gas tube out of the way you can loosen the barrel nut. A modified BEV block, or my preference, a reaction rod is your best friend for this.
 
For brahs with the brownells BCG. Has anyone seen the staking of the gas key nuts? Doesnt seem that significant. My FN nuts are staked deep, they aint going no where lol. In comparison these stakes look shallow and wont do much.

Don’t get to hung up about staked gas keys bolts because the BCG will work fine even if they are not staked at all.

Thanks for the advice. I have the reaction rod, so tomorrow will be barrel-swap day, if I have time. I'm definitely planning to leave the front sight block in place in the barrel - removing it looks like it might be a bad idea, and is thankfully unnecessary :)

EDITED - %$#^& gas tube!! WTF!
