[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Finished first AR build - PICS

Posted: 5/4/2008 10:50:36 PM EDT

My first AR, decided to piece it together. Here she is, complete... just trying to decide on which scope to get. Ordered webbing and what not to make a sling, won't be my first time since I was a flight e / rigger.

Build is as follows:
Superior Arms lower with set-screw (trigger is GREAT), DPMS LPK, CAA CBS assy.
WOA upper, BCM BCG, RRA/Wilson 16" stainless mid-length barrel, 1/8, Wylde chamber, f-marked FSB, a2 hider, MI SPLP rear flip BUIS, YHM lightweight FFR, Magpul covers and mags.

I used Wolf M193 and put about 150 rounds down range. 100yd accuracy resulted in 4" 6-shot groups. The target you see is a result of a rushed one breath/one shot (rapid-fire) string of fire before the range closed. Overall I am very happy and I can't wait to see what this thing can do with good ammo and good glass. Lots of compliments at the range.

Without further delay:

Overall: Love the balance of the rifle, colors/fit match up great. The rear sight sits real low. Ejects hard.Glad to say I wouldn't have changed anything in the build now that it's done. Had one FTF but it was the ammo's fault. Also shot a hand me down Savage 110 in .308 for the first time, rifle is very old and hasn't been shot in forever yet held a zero after some adjustment. Also shot my buddies' 30-30 winchester and some dudes' CZ .17 HMR.
