I was hoping some of you gents would share your 16" or 14.5" mid-length builds. ... I'll probably used a magpul mid-length handguard for now 
Not sure why the picture makes the furniture as light as it appears... in reality its much closer to the color of the magazine. |

Just FYI. -what he said Personally I'd get the 16" (or the 14.5 with a GI flash hider I could sacrifice later with not much lost cost) until I decided just exactly what I wanted to do with it then have ADCO cut it down for me...making sure the threads were concentric. |

14.5" BCM Hammer Forged Midlength A2X Flash Hider BCM BCG BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle Mod 4 MI Midlength gen 2 Drop In Inforce Weapon Mounted Light Magpul MBUS Rear Magpul RVG Has about 200 rounds through it so far, flawless, great weapon. As for a rail suggestion all I had before were the stock double heat shield handguards but my midwest industries gen 2 drop in quad rail is a little over 3 oz lighter than competitors and MIs customer service is outstanding. At 129.99 with LEO discount, you really cant beat it. |

BCM 14.5 LW mid, perm a2x, and Rainier EVO rail. the permanent mount on the FH allowed me to use my dremel skills on the FSB. the delta ring and springs were removed by the previous owner. 100% reliable with every ammo I've thrown at it. WAY more accurate than I am.

There is another thread that is a photo thread of nothing but Mids. As for a rail, I ordered my mid from Spikes and after a 5 month wait I was finally rewarded with a awesome rifle and one of the first SAR rifles to leave the shop. I don't know which I like better the SAR or BAR they are both awesome rails. I have tried almost all the others, if I had to choose to keep only one it would be the SAR. To be honest with you if I would have tried the Magpul handguards I may have not spent all the money that I on rails. You can buy short sections of rail and mount these in the slots on the handguards. They also make sling mounts, flashlight etc...... You may want to order the Magpul first and see how you like it.

I'm a big fan of the Centurion C4 rails. In fact, the next rifle I want to build is a 14.5 middy with a C4 cutout. Only thing is idk why they charge $60-80 more for 2" more material compared to the carbine rail.

My point being that I feel that is too much of a mark up, IMO. The Troy Bravo has a $20 difference between the 7.2" and the 11" rails. That's pretty reasonable. Hard to justify a $60 difference for 2" more of rail. That's all I'm getting at. They already have the CNC program set up and I doubt 2" more of AL stock costs that much. |

Well, it's not the most flattering picture, and it's not in its' final configuration, but it's shootable! I've got a magpul handguard on the way, I want to eventually get decent rails (looking at Knights Armament 12.5" URX III or maybe Troy Ind. 13" Alpha Battle Rail), either a SOPMOD or STR stock, and some other things. It's a work in progress

I got my upper about a year ago. 14.5 inch LW barrel with an extended A2 FH. The weapon run everything I have used. I have it mounted using an old A1 stock and it shoots smoothly and with negligible recoil. I have two
 . One is the front sight is canted. When used with my Weaver 1x3, the cant is very noticeable. With the H1 and EOtech, makes no difference The other is the feed ramp on the barrel extension. Instead of being one continuous face from the M4 cut and the extension, there is a strange hump/gap. It is smooth though and has never caused a problem in any way. Just unusual!

BUT! Your gun just has a a light. MY gun has a star beside BCM! Obviously, mine is better.
And, my photoshopping skills are better. (Original photo below) I have come to the conclsuion that the right contrast, shadows, lighting, saturation, ect. on a picture will make or break a gun picture. (Not knocking you couch, table, and carpet photographers) 
On a serious note, when did you build that gun? I distinctly remember you complementing me on that setup (as plain and KISS as it is) 3 or 4 months ago in one of the other pic threads. |

You'll see it here someplace with a carry handle, CAR handguards and an M4 stock. I swapped the furniture out maybe a month ago. I have had the furniture sitting in a box, and when my CTR was orphaned I swapped it out. The sight and the CTR were on the 11.5. The CTR was replaced with an STR, and the DD was replaced with a Troy. And your picture inspired the change, I just never did it, or took pictures of it. The pictures were done today. The original set up was designed as an iron sight trainer for my kids. |
