Been creeping here for a while, and decided I'd better sign up. Decided I'd rather build my first AR than buy. Something about a sense of accomplishment and knowing it's kind of my own. But anyways, here's what I've got so far as far as completed and my plans for what's left.
Spikes Tactical Lower RRA Two Stage Trigger Mako Group Grip MOE Stock ASAP Sling Mount Harford Engraving Ejection Port Cover Aero Precision Upper Seekins Precision Magazine Release BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle JP Adjustable Gas Block Barrel and Compensator will be in this week. Went with a BCM 14.5" lightwight and a Battle Comp 1.5. Still in debate about the BCG. Leaning heavily toward a nickel boron, especially with Spikes releasing the new lightweight BCG. Also ordered a Seekins bolt catch, but no idea when I'll get that with the backorders. Gonna go with a Vortex Strikefire with VMX-3T magnifier and a set of back-up iron sights, just need to make sure I get sights with a low enough profile so the magnifier will clear. Any input, good or bad, is appreciated. http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx155/jrjordan388/E1C9D79F-0536-4738-B903-8CADAA0FBDAF-5423-00000A0FD52C7298_zpsa0d81b96.jpg http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx155/jrjordan388/5CC6247B-C972-4002-9E2E-5DA741E717A0-5423-00000A0FF405039E_zpsccba11e1.jpg http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx155/jrjordan388/0ACFA143-F919-49C3-B402-E1B2C638FB25-5423-00000A0FFC6DE34D_zpsb4cbcb7a.jpg http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx155/jrjordan388/E503AFB8-AF98-403C-8F60-56192512F8B6-5423-00000A10055F6473_zps4fd1988e.jpg http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx155/jrjordan388/557B6A4C-08E5-472C-9837-8AF17C698058-5423-00000A100D05FD21_zps27ba909a.jpg Sadly the magazine release isn't in. Somehow managed to lose the spring  . New one will be here Tuesday though. Decided to pick up a regular bolt catch from my local dealer until my Seekins arrives.

Unless you have a tax stamp coming from the ATF for a short barreled rifle on a form 1, be sure to have that Battle Comp pinned and welded right off. Be sure it's permanently over 16" and not a thousandth under. Great start for a nice stick! |

The reduced mass carriers used along with an adjustable gas block really improves an ARs recoil impulse. Along with a good comp there is almost zero muzzle movement and very fast follow up shots. Quoted:

So what's the advantage of the lightweight bcg? The reduced mass carriers used along with an adjustable gas block really improves an ARs recoil impulse. Along with a good comp there is almost zero muzzle movement and very fast follow up shots. For an idea of how soft they can shoot, here's a video of my JP low mass carrier, adjustable gas, captive recoil spring, and nordic comp rifle at the last gateway 3-gun.

Finally got out to shoot. Only put about 50 rounds through it, but I'm hoping to get out and put more through on Saturday. Shoots just how I hoped it would. 3 rounds to get the gas block set right and very minimal recoil and muzzle rise.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYnyAQnl2lw[/youtube] iPhone video, so not too good on quality. Saving up to get a Go-Pro so I can record my hunts. EDIT: Can someone explain how to properly embed a youtube video? I've been trying to get the video up, but every time I use the video tag I get the above result |

All I could say when the firing started was "Wow!" I think .22 recoils more than that! |
