AR-15 BS Thread

@tcBob has very good taste

 

Isn't that technically a pistol since it doesn't have a stock?

 

Yes, that was taken when I was waiting on my form 1 to come back.

This is the semi-current configuration (added a TLR-1 HL to it yesterday and haven't had a chance to take pics).

 

that's purdy. definitely gonna treat myself to an sbr next year

 

Started out pretty simple with a BCM upper and local lower. Magpul furniture.





Got a Rainier lower with a Vltor IMOD, then threw on a Midwest rail, Vortex PST 1-4, and a Streamlight for home use. It's main purpose is 3Gun now. Still running a GI trigger like a goof, though.

 

How you liking the PST? I'm thinking about snatching one up. Either that or the Leupold AR mod

 

I think it's great. For a "budget" optic, the clarity and functionality is without rival. I got a pretty screaming deal on it, too; optic and mount for $472 from a local archery supplier. The optic alone still goes for $450 nowadays, and the A.D./Vortex mount was $200 at the time. But since their whole business was archery, they just hooked me up at cost +10%.

 

Damn that is a good deal!

 

That Leupold isn't too bad either, from what little I've seen of it. I just opted for the Vortex as the jury was still out on the longevity of the Leupold at the time. If memory serves me right, they had some QC issues that people had been bitching about that kind of scared me off. Vortex has a no-questions-asked, lifetime warranty for any failures. I figured if I was going to get a potential lemon, I'd get the one that would be replaced.

 

Thanks, it's absolutely worth it on the AR platform as with 1 stamp you can have multiple short uppers.

This is the most recent configuration, I need to get a better red dot (Gonna get a holosun) but pretty happy with it.

• Magpul MS4 convertible sling
• Streamlight TLR-1 HL
• Magpul MOE stock
• Magpul MOE K grip
• QD sling mount on rail
• QD sling buffer tube plate

 

That thing needs a fire pig (noveske KX3). Helps get the concussion away from your face. I dig it as is though.

 

man i want so bad.... so this form 1 is $200 ?

 

Yep, $200 and a wait (According to my dealer the wait time is up to ~6 months, he said it would be next january before I had my suppressor).

 

I'd like to get one but I'm not sure if I would like it without a longer rail.
Currently the A2 barely casts a shadow with the light on (it's at the very edge of my peripheral vision)and I like little to no shadow from the light.

Thanks, I'm happy with it, runs flawlessly and it's the perfect length for a truck gun.

 

Just picked up a bunch of stuff to rebuild my AR - Moe SLK stock, k grip, vfg, MI light rail, Inforce XML. I might get to work on it this afternoon!

 

Done, again, for now...

I think this is the 4th major configuration on this sbr. Probably pick up a Vortex Sparc II for it soon.

 

E-file, man. E-file.

 

We finished our latest build today, turned out sweet! Long barrel .223 rifle and she's not petite weighing in at 13 pounds!

Here is the build info if you are interested, starts on page 5, post #87.

Now just have to find some time in my pop's schedule to put some rounds down range!!!

 

All three girls together for a family photo, arn't they sweet!!!!

 

Ordered an 11.5" upper, comes with the A2 FSB and M4 hand guards, I want to swap it out to a Low-Pro gas block and Keymod rail system.
Looking for a rail approximately 10" in length.

I don't want to spend to much on the rail, does sub $125 sound reasonable.
