FINALLY! I finished the initial build (yes mods are planned when money returns to my wallet). First off - Many thanks to the folks on AR15.com. Your help was greatly appreciated. First Range trip with it is planned for today. Description: EA Lower - bought around 89 (forgot I had it) LMT LR kit Del-Ton Upper Assy - 16" Pre-Ban M4 Flat Top Chrome lined Barrel Assembly Bushmaster A3 Type Removable Carry Handle RRA Buttstock Magazines - 20 & 30 rds (not all shown) are bushmaster Sling is homemade following a post by ggllggll For those that don't know - if you click on the image, it will take you a larger view of the pic. http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/5449/myar0138qy.th.jpg http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/1125/myar0140el.th.jpg |
I put 300 rds through it, part of them while zeroing it. It worked extremely well. No FTF or FTE problems at all. With respect to accuracy, I didn't get a chance to really test it. I shot 3 shot groups for zeroing it (@ 25m). When it was calibrated, it was within a quarter diameter, with 2 of the 3 holes touching each other. I'll hit an outdoor range maybe next week. The only rookie problem that I encountered was that I put more than 1 drop of oil in the front sight, set the rifle vertically afterward, then took it to the range. It seems that oil will really smoke when it gets hot. Oh well, I took the handguards off and found where it collected in the upper retainer ring for handguards. Live & learn. |
