first build > Build It Yourself

hey guys, new to the forum and want to build my first rifle!

so far i have a RA a-dac lower, RA forged upper, and a geissele DMR trigger.

right now im looking at lower parts....been eye balling V seven stuff. my question is, due to me having the a-dac lower do i have to use the supplied RA bolt catch, or can i use say a V seven lightened bolt catch?
im sure ill have many other questions, but i am looking to build a carbine length upper quality build. any help is much appreciated!

the adac uses a proprietary bold hold open and it comes with the lower.

Thank you, i couldnt find that on RA website. It does look like it has a groove on the underside unlike a standard bolt catch.

I just looked up the lower you were talking about, I'm interested. If they felt the need to add a bolt catch to your buy they probably didn't do it for no reason. I would suggest contacting them directly for an accurate answer.

it seems like a cool idea, if you dont want the function, you just remove the the pin between the mag release and the bolt catch.

Link isnt woeking. It's V seven:
Black ti ambi selector
Geissele .155 ti pins
Black ti takedown and pivot pin
Black ti mag release
Ti buffer retainer
Ti grip screw

It's just a start, but what do you guys think?

Vseven makes good parts. I have used their stuff on my lightweight builds. Great quality and I have had only one minor issue with a ejection port door that Vseven CS fixed very promptly. Pricey compared to standard lower parts, but to me worth it.

Thanks, I have no problem spending a little more for a good product. I'll get those parts coming. I would really lIke to use the ubr2 stock if it ever comes out! I will probably have some buffer questions when I get that far. Once parts come in I'll try and take some pics. Thanks again.
