I would like them to do the 950 instead of the 730 so I can get a spare upper for mine.

I've had a similar build going for a few years now, started life as an spr project but decided to do a lsw style build instead and build an spr on a regular receiver set without unnecessary weight.
This upper receiver is extremely robust and should handle a heavy barrel and bipod well along with good airflow. Unfortunately being in a ban state this will have a fixed magazine and never see high volume fire unless I reconfigure the stock / grip.  Mega Arms extended rifle mlok upper Mega Arms ambi billet lower Bcm complete lower parts kit Bcm buffer tube kit Bcm Bolt carrier group Still need carrying handle and optic. Undecided on barrel length and type Bipod and stock will sit as is for now |

If you own a Colt LMG upper I need the dimensions shown in the picture. Any help would be appreciated.
 Going to design a replacement handle based on the Colt one for these crappy handles.  |

If the DT Quattro 15's prove reliable, that seems like a promising basis for a AR-RPK / optimized automatic rifle build.

This concept intrigues me enough I might build an upper for it. I’m thinking a 20” HBAR paired with a TA11 or TA110 would be fantastic.
At this time it looks like Spikes and Criterion are the only options for a chrome lined HBAR? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DonkeyPunch451: https://www.del-ton.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BL1015F Thanks for that. DTI gets overlooked quite a bit these days. I contacted them to see if these were 4150 CMV as I know back in the day most of their 1/9 twist barrels were 4140. DTI confirmed these are 4150 CMV. After going back and forth on what I actually wanted to do with this build I ended up ordering the DTI barrel. Seemed like a waste to order a Criterion for the AR-RPK concept. Would have ended up costing $200+ more when you factor in getting an FSB installed. |

 I have not reinstalled the FSB because the more I look at it, the more I think it's going to get flip up front sight gas block. It might be an HBAR but it doesn't really feel heavy until rocking the D60. |

In terms of heat management, Manta is making some rail covers out of the same high temp material as their suppressor covers.
They have MLOK, Pic, and a pretty badass looking wrap thing. https://mantadefense.com/product-category/rail-guards/ Tac Wrap I think suits the ARPK aesthetic, although the MLOK/Pics are probably more practical.

Anyone see a use for a adjustable position bipod on one if these builds? I saw a YouTube video once that had a bipod that could move forward or backwards on the bottom of the rail. I was dreaming I could make some kind of pedestal mount and make a old Toyota into a technical!

 Here is my upper build so far. I went with a 18" Aero fluted SS barrel. The grip pod is there for now because I have it. Might leave it for some shooting and see how it does, but most likely going with a bipod. Going to try one of those silicone handguard covers someone posted earlier. Still need to decide if I want to go with a flash hider or a break. This is a cheap build, so don't ask where the DD quad rail is. The barrel was on sale for $70! I don't have more $200 in this total so far except the optics. |

op, the ar-rpk concept thats evolving lately as an online copycat craze is much better off as having the following attributes...
1. extreme heavy front end weight for quick stabilized follow up shots on target. the more weight you can get up front the better. 2. binary trigger 3. optic i only see an optic. what works best is the colt lmg. you can get a double tap dual ring on steel plates at 100 yards using a fostech binary trigger. the colt lmg uppers have become rare but if you google ar-rpk theres a company that sells uppers by that name with your choice of m60 bipod or rpk bipod on unusually long and heavy barreled uppers. they use an inconel gas tube that doesnt melt easily. |

I don't have one, but what I think I like about the the grip pod is you can use it or its a toolless small storage issue to remove. Go shoot a 100 round string and you'll probably want to have it anyway.  Good score on the barrel! For this type of build, I'd go flash hider. Martial build, might be used in proximity to others or set in a confined space, and all that. |

That looks great. Exactly what I picture in my mind when I think of "AR-RPK". Magpuls are my go-to for cheaper bipods; Atlas if I want to shell out the bucks. I've had Harris bipods and don't get the love for them. |

I'm planning on using a PA EFAB for mine. 50-55% recoil reduction, which I think would be handy for keeping rapid fire from the bipod on target, while having flash suppression equal to the A2. I've thought for years something like that would be ideal for a FA / Automatic Rifle type setup. https://precisionarmament.com/efab-hybrid-muzzle-brake/ |

In terms of mags, I'm intrigued by the Torkmag 40rd. It's a good bit shorter than the Magpul 40rd, so should be a little easier to work with a bipod.
There's not much reviews on them, but they seem promising for this application.
