Nice Family photo

 

got it installed

 

Introducing the newest member of the family,300 blackout

 

I put one of these same lowers together for a buddy. Done 10 or so normal Spikes lowers without issue but the skull one is a complete POS. The detent hole for the forward takedown pin was not drilled properly and had to cut the spring down to make it work. Was not milled properly for the spring and detent on the bolt catch and all of the spring and detent holes were clogged with white powder like it was not cleaned prior to coating. Good luck.

 

Nice! You will love that .300. I know mine is a keeper and will knock a hog on it's ass.

 

Here are my blasters.

The camo one holds a pretty special place in my heart. It is the first rifle I ever purchased, and coincidentally I bought it the day of the Sandy Hook shooting. I didn’t know anything of the shooting until after getting home. It started life as a Sig M400 hunter model with the 20” non-threaded barrel and A2 stock. I put a PSA upper on it and painted it and have pretty much left it alone. I have put many rounds of both good and cheap ammo through it and this thing has yet to fail me.


This one has been used as a spare for awhile until I figure out what I want to do with it. I spent more on the BCM handguard than I did the rest of the rifle. I’m strongly considering a Faxon 18” in .223 Wylde or maybe branching out to .224 Valkyrie.

 

This came today Core 15 Tac III complete upper raptor charging handle and nickel boron BCG.......

 

And it will be built into this....

 

Shot the 12.5” 6.8 for the first time today, 110 Gr Hornady ammo seems to like the barrel, and it’s really comfortable to shoot suppressed.
Now to replace the 8 lb GI trigger in the lower.

 

Sling preference. Dose anyone prefer one type or mfg. over another?

 

I run cheap, 2 point, made in china, Midway slings. They hold the rifle on your shoulder or in your arms decently well.

 

I’m a big fan of the VTAC 2 point sling myself.

 

Magpul
Cheapo-depo
Primary Arms

Whichever is on sale.

 

Finally picked up my first AR! Had a few items I could swap over from a 10/22 build and added a magpul handguard. Excited to get it out on the range.

 

Ive got the Magpul MS4 (gen 1 though) and its been fine. But I don't use a sling all that often. But the bit ive used it, it has worked out nice

 

Finally received and installed the Magpul FDE M-Lok bi-pod. Seems to be good quality - very little fore/aft play for loading, seems very stable and durable. Need to get it on the range to fully test it.

 

Any one need a EOTech
