My first AR build.

[TrevorF]

It started as a deal on a color blem lower from SFRC. Then I got a deal on a complete upper from SFRC. I added a Stag lower parts kit and some other stuff I had lying around and there you have it, my first AR build. All that's left is the BCG which is in the mail.
I think next I would like a dedicated .22 upper, a piston 7.62x39 and another one chambered in 7.62x40!

This AR stuff is addictive!

 

[Conte]

7.62x40 ? The WT ?

 

[Filthy]

Holy smokes that was fast Trevor, wasn't that just a bare lower a week ago? What else are you going to do to it? I know you're not stopping with the setup you have in the picture.

 

[TrevorF]

Two weeks ago! Not sure what else I'll do to it. I like it the way it is right now.

 

[cigarbufff]

Wow that was fast Trevor! hahah nice!

 

[ampegor]

needs more wooden parts - just kidding
I thought i got mine done fast in three weeks

 

[TrevorF]

7.62x40 ? The WT ?

Yup!

It's not done yet, sadly. But yes it was a fast build! Matthew new this would happen. I'm waiting for the BCG which may be here tomorrow. Probably only Monday though.

 

[Pigeonman]

Thank looks nice!! How did you do the colour fill on the lower?

 

[TrevorF]

Off the list!

How did you do the colour fill on the lower?

Fill it in with an extra fine silver paint pen. When it's just about dry wipe off the access with a rag and aceton.

Have you wondered why there is always 'A Deal' on all the NEA product?

Love the Stag LPK though, good choice.

Is the BGC thats in the mail from NEA....

 

[TrevorF]

The lower was a color blem and the upper had a "ding" mark on it from a punch, which I couldn't find.
Are NEA's the best or even "high end", not but they fit my budget and I won't. buy norc products. Besides, it's a toy, not a safety tool I trust my life to. The BCG is an NEA, not my first choice but it's all I could find in time for the weekend. My long term plan is to buy a top quality BCG for my STI Open AR and drop the current STI BCG into this build.

 

[Pigeonman]

How do you like the STI? I was considering getting one of their matched stripped upper/lower sets but can't find much on them.

 

[TrevorF]

I love my STI. It's an IPSC/USPSA open AR built for competition. It doesn't have a Mil-Spec feel to it so it depends on they style of AR you're looking for I guess. I like it for what it is but it just doesn't seem very "military" to me.

I think I found the right size optic for this gun.

I think I found the right size optic for this gun.

Now all you need is a decent rail and you're set. Something like a URX 3.1...
