It requires an Aero Precision barrel nut. It would definitely be the easier way to go but will cost you more money than the above. It looks like it leaves a very slight gap between the upper and the handguard though, which would bother me.  https://www.broadrivertactical.com/  |

I picked up an AR-V Essential Parts build kit and was trying to figure out what barrel length and handguard combo I wanted to get. Ballistic Advantage just had a 30% off sale so I picked up one of their 8.3" 9mm barrels and one of their 7" handguards. It'll stick out a little further than I wanted but I got it for a good price so I'm excited. |

Now I need to start the paperwork to SBR it so I can put on a stock and a better grip. My only complaint is that my Scorpion mags don't drop free and take a little bit of force to get to seat fully. I had to buy more PSA mags. Hopefully I can get my Scorpion mags to work. |

This was my very first AR build. Forgive the bright colors -- not sure I'd do that the same if I had it to do over.
FM Products lower receiver, side charging upper receiver, barrel nut & handguard. (Shaved a section of rail over the charging handle -- my only complaint about FM side chargers -- anything on that rail section impedes the charging handle.) Swampfox 1x prism scope (honeycomb filter for lens protection). Motion activated, green CQB BRC reticle. A bit heavy, but it's been vfairly ery reliable. If the battery dies, the reticle is still there. Leapers/UTG red laser+light combo. While clearly not intended for inclement weather outdoor use, it's been reliable for my usage. That hand grip... yeah, I went mediaeval and made a chainmail grip around the handguard after none of the fingerstops and angled foregrips I tried really worked for me on this build. Its texture makes for good grip. It's made out of an un-anodized aluminum & is quieter I expected. The weight comparable to light polymer or aluminum rail covers/grips/finger stops covering an equivalent amount of rail. Stern Defense NiB H2S trigger. Not my favorite trigger, but pretty good. Smooth pull, nice 2nd stage wall fairly crisp break. Griffin Rev 9 suppressor. I wanted to go local for my suppressor. ECCO machine mount to go from 1/2x36 directly to 1.125x28. Gorilla silverback 135 gr. self defense (subsonic) It's still my "bump in the night" gun.

@joeIII223 , it is customized handgrip with, I guess you'd say, some flare. I make chainmail armor and jewelry (well, I used to, but I still have the stuff), and one day I wondered if I could use lightweight aluminum rings to make a customized grip after I just kept not being able to get the feel I wanted, despite trying various different finger stops and hand stops.
Turns out I could make a chainmail handgrip, AND it is comfortable, AND it is sturdy, AND it weighs in among the lowest weight grips I've tried -- beating out most aluminum and polymer options for covering the same length of handguard. (For example, a Strike Industries curved foregrip weighs more than an equally long wrap of my chainmail grip around the sides and bottom of the handguard.) But the biggest surprise was how they're quiet,not loose and noisy. I have made varieties from a simple finger stop up to a full wrap like the PCC above. I use abrasives on the rings to control how smooth or rough they are, controlling how "grippy" it is. Paracord loves to run in and out and around rings, so there's more customization there, and I'm a big fan of spare paracord being on-hand. Here's a few links to some variations (I'll leave the non PC pictures out of here) in Imgur galleries: 350 Legend dissipator inspired build w/chainmail fingerstop 223 wylde w/chainmail handwrap w/paracord 300 blk with pics showing customized grip in hand -- As a bonus, I can slip an Allen wrench in there for any build with an adjustable gas block, and (if needed) with a little paracord wrap, the tool stays with the firearm. (3rd picture down you can see the hexagonal head of the Allen wrench) And an appropriate picture -- if you want to know why there's hardware on the charging handle, read page 10 of the Maxim RDB review topic. Oh, and there's the modified SI handle I mentioned above by weight comparison to my handgrips. And I really need to find appropriate screws for that handguard -- kinda threw it together quick for testing from parts I had around and discovered I was missing some screws, lol.  |

I added my first Colt to my AR collection with this. I have to say I am very happy with it. It came with a Magpul flip up rear sight but I thought it looked better with the carry handle.

Colt upper (correct forging codes and marks on receiver, barrel and bcg ) on a Bushmaster lower
put a few rounds downrange with it -- mostly reliable but will double on occasion - do not know exactly what trigger and buffer it has but me thinks with a rebuild with a 9mm spec trigger and buffer/spring it will clean it up The Bushmaster lower is marked 5.56 for caliber so i would like to have that filled and re-stamped as i am contemplating having it cera-koted anyway

Thanks! It's the results of being inspired by a build I saw on here years ago. I refer to it as my AR-9k as it's intended to be analogous to the MP5k. I have one with a longer barrel that might get stamped, too, that's like a full size MP5. I even have a picture of it next to a real MP5 and it's approximately the same size.
(I was trying out a light setup here that ultimately didn't work for me)

How do you enjoy it? Yep, it’s a PSA AR-V lower (I got the AR-V build kit a couple years ago) that uses scorpion pattern mags. I love it! The only problem I’ve had with it when using the mag as a monopod-type rest when shooting. It doesn’t like that at all. Other than that, zero problems with about 2k rounds thru it. |
