Originally Posted By bigstick61: Almost done with this build. Bolt carrier should be arriving tomorrow and I still need some sling swivels (I want to get the ALG* ones, but everyone seems to be out of stock right now). Still need to precisely align the handguard (it's slightly off), torque and stake the castle nut, and I presume I also need to check headspace on a build. I'll need to get or borrow the tools to do all of that. I'm also going to get an Arisaka offset mount for my Inforce WML to use until I get a light for this rifle (probably an Arisaka/Surfire light in one of their mounts; the WML will then go back on my FAL). The only thing I messed up was that I accidentally dinged the handguard pretty good, so the finish is marred and a bit of metal displaced, although it's probably not glaring if you don't know it's there like I do. Once the BCG and swivels are installed, should weigh about 6lbs 10 oz. with an empty mag. This is not only my first build, but my first AR-15 ever. Never owned one before. One thing I'm glad about is that during our so-called "freedom week" here in CA folks here and from Cola Warrior were donating magazines to Californians like myself who had not the means to buy any at the time, so I've got a good little bunch of AR mags. I'm going to save up to get a TA-33 ACOG for this rifle and an ADM compact ACOG mount with the spacer to put it at the correct height (lightest quality QD option I could find). I'll probably try to go used on the ACOG to save money. Top pics are the free State configuration, bottom the CA-legal one (I decided to go featureless; I really hope the hearing challenging our AWB gets rescheduled soon; damned coronavirus!). Parts are as follows (* indicates a past or present Cola Warrior sponsor; thanks for sponsoring us!): Upper Assembly: -Upper w/ EP cover: Aero Precision No-FA -Barrel: Daniel Defense* 16" Mid-Length Lightweight Profile 1:7 CHF -Gas Tube: Daniel Defense* -Bolt Carrier: Forward Control Design* Slickside Bolt Carrier (I think they are made by Sionics and NP3 coated by Robar) -Bolt: LMT Enhanced -Handguard: Geissele* Mk16 10.5" -Charging Handle: Geissele* Airborne (URGI version) -Gas Block: Battle Arms Development* Titanium Low-Profile .625" (pinned on by ADCO) -Bayonet Lug: removed by ADCO from a Brownell's* .625" FSB and pinned on by them -Muzzle Device: Forward Controls* 6315 (with Cola Warrior peep n/ crossbones) with a Colt rifle grenade spring -Sights: LMT BUIS with a Compass Lake Engineering FSP (I think I got the .05") -Sling Swivel Mount: Arisaka Defense* MLOK QD Lower Assembly: -Lower: Aero Precision STS -Buffer Tube and Castle Nut: Aero Precision -Stock: LWRC Compact -End Plate: LMT QD -Trigger Guard: LMT Winter -Bolt Catch: Geissele* Maritime -Selector: Radian* Talon -Grip: Magpul* MIAD -Trigger: Geissele* Cola Warrior West II engraved SSA-E -Ambi Mag Catch: Norgon -Buffer/Spring: Geissele* Super 42 -Buffer Detent: Forward Control Design* reinforced detent -Remaining Small Parts: Aero Precision LPK To make it Cali-legal as a featureless rifle, I used an AIM Sports A2-style "muzzle brake" as the muzzle device, a Sparrow Dynamics featureless grip, and a Strike Industries stock stop I cut to fix the stock on the 3rd position. I also switched the selector arms around, although I'll probably put the long lever on the right side (pictured on the left). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49758703562_77dbcc7787_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49758702877_67e1eb5e7c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49757846138_3ed5b52bdb_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49758703012_3d1e70fcea_b.jpg View Quote sweet build. also, robar doesnt exist anymore.

Was waiting on it’s Scalarworks RMR absolute co-witness Mount and it’s Surefire M600IB lamp head to be painted to match the NP3 finish. Overall build was to build it light and reliable. I plated as much as possible in NP3. I disassembled the Silent Buffer and had as much of it as they would accept plated. I disassembled the CTR stock and plated the friction lock components. I should have went with a LMOS carrier and used a V7 lithium aluminum lower for more weight savings. Radians are nice, but heavy. When shooting it, you get the feeling that every round fired short stroked since the gas system is dialed in right with a proper ejection pattern. You could put a 5 gallon bucket down and most of the brass would land in the bucket. Everything riding on a bed of NP3 doesn’t hurt the feeling either. I faced the upper before plating and needed the barrel when assembled. Accuracy is excellent when tested on the lead sled. It’s in the low 6 pound range. Lower: AXTX A-DAC lower Receiver Extension: V7 Lithium Aluminum Castle Nut Assembly: PWS Ratcheting Castle Nut, no staking required Buffer: JP Enterprises gen 2 Silent Buffer Stock: Magpul CTR MILSPEC Buttpad: Limbsaver Buffer Retainer: V7 titanium, not needed but I prefer the silent buffer stay retained Pistol Grip: Magpul MOE rubber overmold Grip Screw: V7 Titanium Selector: Battle Arms Development BAD CASS Short Throw Trigger: Geissele 3DSG Trigger Pin: V7 titanium, hammer pin left AXTX proprietary Take down pins: Battle Arms Development enhanced titanium Upper Receiver: V7 lithium aluminum Dust Covers and pin: V7 aluminum Rail: BCM KMR 13” Rail Hardware: V7 titanium Barrel: Proof Research 14.5” barrel, flash suppressor pinned Flash suppressor: Surefire suppressor Mount Gas Block: SLR .750” titanium adjustable block, pinned Gas Tube: V7 inconel Midlength tube Charging Handle: Radian Raptor SD cut Bolt Carrier Group: JP Enterprises FMOS BCG Cam Pin: POF Rollercam with modifier gas key for DI Systems Front Sling Mounts: Strike Industries angled QD mounts Rail Covers: BCM Rail hand stop: Railscales Karve Sling: BlueForceGear Padded QD sling Weapon Light Mount: IWC In-line keymod Mount Weapon Light body: IWC M600 backbone Weapon Light head and tailcap: Surefire M600IB Intellibeam Optic not shown: Trijicon RMR Type 2, RM09 1moa dot size Optic mount: Scalarworks Absolute Co-witness Mount View Quote this thing is RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous! i cant even imagine to begin how much this cost all said and done. very jealous. |

Why not just go 16" RECCE(recon)? Best of both with the right barrel and you can easily change out muzzle devices much easier. I have a 16" RECCE-ish gun and I love it, while my wife has a 14.5" pin/weld that is much lighter but starts stringing shots due to the thinner profile barrel. If you know which muzzle device you're set on, 14.5" pin/weld is sweet. But, if you're like me and enjoy trying new brakes and flash hiders, I wouldn't go that route. As far as a DMR, I went .224 Valkyrie and a 20" barrel for a little more reach. It's both a blessing and a curse to have so many options! |

The UBR is a heavy stock. With this build (sorry for the crappy pic) I originally had an A1 stock but it was too light for the fluted heavy barrel. It's better to be butt-heavy vs. muzzle heavy, but why not be balanced? My 2015-spec Magpul catalog gun: |
