 Though I am thinking an AFG might make an appearance as well at some point.





I am in love with this rifle. It took me about 6 months from receiving the lower to completed rifle, and it was well worth the wait. Real soft shooter, and extremely accurate. She shoots better than I do I'm not ashamed to say. And despite several people telling me that tulammo would be a horrible choice to run, she ate it like it was chocolate. Not a single malfunction.



And not that it's a terribly important thing, but the fit and finish are amazing. It's like the lower and upper were forged from the same piece, it's that matched. The weight to me is light and comfortable, everything is running beautifully. The only complaint I heard was from my brother who said the trigger seemed a bit stiff, but I didn't really notice, and even so I'm sure it will smooth out and become a nicer pull with more usage.

Nice build!



How do you like the Magpul MOE stock?  I'm considering buying the MOE kit but am unsure if the MOE stock is much of an upgrade over the standard m4 stock.  Is it solid or does it wobble?  How much?

I don't notice any stock wobble with mine. It's solid as it gets. I highly recommend it. Just make sure you get the correct buffer tube for the version you get, and you will be fine.



And thank you.

Nice build for sure. I am considering a Rainier upper billet I just added to my wish list. I found it for $150.00 after seeing how happy you are with Rainier upper/lower it will be my next purchase. I also like the front grip.

CNC Machined from solid Billet 7075 Aluminum and finished with Milspec Anodize. Designed to work with the Magpul BAD lever, Daniel Defense Lite rails and 99% of aftermarket accessories. If you want to build the best upper money can buy, look no further than the Rainier Arms UltraMatch Billet Upper. Extremely robust yet weighs in at a mere 9.3 oz. Made in the USA.

Do you have the 11 inch? I have been trying to find out the weight but haven't had any luck.

Thanks Gator.

I confused that rail with the Troy TRX 11".

So many options...
