Inspired by ... making loud noises, here is my first AR. The laundry list:
- SOCOM MFG BR-15 billet lower
- DPMS parts kit, with JP Ent spring set
- ACE SOCOM stock
- Tromix .50AE "Sledgehammer" upper
- Ergo grip (really comfortable, ambi)
- Leupold CQ/T festooned with a J-Point as a BUOS
and tiny laser
- 3-Bucc brass catcher - works great, easy on/off.
- Harris bipod
Everything went into the lower just like that, perfect fit. The online build guides are great. Upper is tight. Target below. This will be a great pin-gun in carbine class, and should move the poppers decisively in multi-gun matches.
First, say hello to my big friend:
Tromix does great work - the upper build quality is excellent:
Your basic side shots:
One sweet lower:
Which has built-in takeup and overtravel adjustments - makes the DMPS trigger feel like an expensive match trigger. It has some other features, but this one is the most immediately useful:
And here we are, with Hornady 350gr XTP's at 50 yards, no load development, 26.5gr of AA 4100, unprepped Starline brass and Fed primers. That's about .5" centre-to-centre on the 4-shot cluster, and I wasn't trying that hard, just testing function. I've shot it at 100 yards as well, and you can see the holes with only the CQ/T's 3x capability:
