I recently built this rifle for my son who is Trooper with the 82nd AB, 2/325. He wanted a general purpose AR that would be accurate and not too heavy. So after a little research this is what we decided on.
Upper Receiver -WOA stainless steel 18" SPR profile barrel, with a rifle length gas system, 1/7, Wilde chamber, M4 cuts. WOA matched bolt. -SEI Vortex FH, PRI gas block/front sight. -VLTOR billet upper receiver. -BCM bolt carrier assembly, and charging handle with TacLatch. -SWS rifle length railed hand guard and Magpul rail covers. -MFI MAD rear buis. -Gripod Lower Receiver -S&W MP15 lower receiver -RRA LRPK (smoothed/polished single stage trigger/hammer engagement surfaces). -TangoDown Battlegrip -Magpul trigger guard, Ambi selector and KNS pins. -Magpul UBR stock -Blue Force simple sling. Optic -Weaver 2.5-10x50 Illuminated 30mm scope -MFI 30mm rings 
The rifle shoots M855 ball under 2" @100meters consistently. We haven't had a chance to shoot it with a match grade ammo yet, although I think 1 MOA, or under, is likely. I've had good results with other WOA barrels I've used. The Weaver scope has surprisingly clear glass and held zero fine through the 300 rounds we fired. My son couldn't afford more a expensive optic on E4 pay, and dad already spent enough on it. I didn't weigh it, but it's a little on the heavy side, although it balances well. Planned future upgrades are a better optic, he likes Trijicon, or maybe a Leupold in a LaRue mount. The Gripod is being replaced by a GG&G bipod. And the barrel and receivers coated with Norrells MolyResin in FDE, while he's deployed to Afganistan. |

Quoted:
He likes the Weaver OK, but wants to upgrade. For the price that Natchez Shooters Supply was selling them for they can't be beat. The scope is fairly large and heavy though, and adds substantially to the rifles overall weight. Let me know if you decide to sell the scope. |
