A group of us are getting together soon to build AR15's on Stag lowers. The lower receivers are supposed to arrive the first week of February. I thought of a unique & creative way to build one but I just could stand waiting any longer. I used the Mega lower I built last year & swapped parts I aquired this past December. I built my own Red Ryder.   I stenciled the butt stock & painted it to match the anodized aluminum parts.  That logo is copied from a 1950's era paperback.  This rifle has a flat top upper receiver with a 20" fluted barrel. Free float handguard, butt plate & charge handle are anodized aluminum. I used a Masen one piece detactable scope mount with a Burris 3-9 40x with ballistic reticle marked for zero & 100yd increments out to 500yds. This one will be my "wanderin' around" prairie dog rifle. That butt stock is for an A1 & there by 5/8" shorter than a A2. The little bit of difference really does feel short so & will likely change it in the future. I'll have to paint & stencil the new stock but I may take it to a friend who does professional sign letting. Sight in & range report to follow. |

with a coordinated lower, it'd look like vegas show girl. That'd be treadin' dangerous water, the gun snobs are gonna turn they're noses up as it is 
| I have the same Burris scope as you. It has nice, short eye relief -- perhaps the shortest of scopes in its class. Still, I needed to put mine in an Armalite cantilevered scope mount to get it forward enough. Yours is quite well back from where mine sits. Aren't you a little far back on the stock, or do you not mind? |
