Ahoy hoy!
Just before Christmas 2011 I started this build, slowly collecting parts as money became available. On Friday, March 9th I received the last 2 parts I needed. The barrel and hand guard. I installed it, and went shooting Saturday and Sunday. Now I can finally show off my new toy.
Parts breakdown:
-Armalite Lower With Daniel Defense LPK
-Magpul MOE Grip
-LMT 'Milspec' Size Buffer Tube
-LMT Heavy Buffer
-Magpul CTR Stock
-Daniel Defense Upper
-Bravo Company Mod4 Charging Handle
-LMT Bolt Carrier Group
-Daniel Defense 10.0 Lite Rail
-Magpul AFG2
-ATRS 16" Mid-Length 1:8 Twist Wylde Chambered Match Grade Barrel
-Troy Industries Folding BUIS (HK front..
)
Shout out to Tyson at Wolverine, Dustin at ATRS and the crew at Questar for supplying over 90% of the parts for my build.
Black on black, with more black. A real black rifle
With irons I'm within 4-6" at 100 yards, but that's all me. I'm not used to iron sights. My other rifles are all scoped, so I thought I'd give it a try with the irons, plus I'll be picking up an optic / red dot in the near future. I'll either be going with a Aimpoint T1/H1 or a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24.
The first shot was a bit scary, the local smith here was closed on Saturday and I couldn't have my barrel head spaced so I just went for it, no problems. The guys over at ATRS make some really... really.. did I say really nice stuff. The barrel on it's own is a work of art. I did the break in procedure as per the Lilja break in procedure, that took some time. Then I started to have some fun with 5 - 10 shot strings cleaning in between.
All in all it was great fun doing the build and shooting. If you're thinking about doing an AR build go for it. I know every part of my gun, how to troubleshoot and fix it, and how to supposed to work.
Once I get a good optic I'll be back with a range report because I'm sure no one wants to see terribad groups at 100 yards.
On another note.. I noticed my trigger pin, the lower one kept 'walking' out after about 20-30 shots and I had to keep pushing it back in. I installed it as per many lower receiver build ups but this eludes me... any advice?
Cheers and thanks for looking
