AR-15 thread... I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Skald, how do you like that Magpul stock? I've been thinking of getting one for my pre-ban. How long is it at full extension?

Mike, If you're looking for the UBR good luck, they are very hard to find right now. As a matter of fact Magpul is having a hard time keeping up with the demand for a lot of their products.
 
My new baby...

Pre-Ban AR-15 converted to M-4

Need a better CCO though...just ordered a higher mount for it for the time being. Whatcha think?

Holy crap Mike, that's quite a collection. I'll post my lone AR once my optics from the EOTech group buy arrive (grumble).......

Range trip today to sight it in and check my build results and its a success. I just really need a red dot with some BUIS and a sling to make this build complete.

-S&W M&P15

-Fulton Armory LPK with KNS pins

-Sully Stock (fixed carbine length)

-Command Arms pistol grip with interchangeable finger grooves and backstraps

-POF piston driven upper reciever. 18" floated and fluted heavy barrel. Single piece aluminum accessory rail.

-Trijicon TA31RCO Acog mounted on CG&G quick detatchable mount.

-ARMS 40L low profile BUIS

-Fab Defensive Line fore-grip bi-pod. This was the best find in my build. I found it at Botachtical.com for $89.95 (+$10 S&H). I see it in stores and other websites listed for $130. http://www.botachtactical.com/fabtpod.html

I had a few hard choices and compromises to make. The option to go with the Sully carbine length stock was necessary to achieve proper eye relief with the Acog mounted forward of the BUIS . That causes a sharp recoil that makes fast follow-up shots more difficult. I plan on trying a hydraulic buffer to see if I can smooth out the recoil a little.

If I had it to do over again, I would order the POF upper with regular handguards. The only thing I want mounted to the front is the grip/bipod. I could have saved $200 and some weight on the front end. The mono-rail also raises the sights about 3/8" which throws the Acog's BDC out of whack a little bit. If I make a shorter build in the future I will use the rail on that and throw some regular handguards on my current AR.

I have one. I like the fact that you can fit a 30rd mag in them when fully extended too!

[wink]
 
I finaly got my AR the way I want it.

looks great! what back up iron is that?

i have a A.R.M.S # 40 and i'm thinking of switching it out...[thinking]

the 1/3 "low" co-witness is NOT sitting right with me and I have fixed front sight / gas block....

[smile] oh and what model aim point?
 
here is my first AR, just got it the other day. Its a stag model 3, with promag flip up sights. I bought a couple 30 round mags as well.

Nice choice on the Stag. I picked one up for my second AR and it has operated nicely thus far.

good to hear. Its still unfired. I need to join another club because mine only has a pistol range. Gonna be a few weeks before I have the $ to join one, so just holding it and getting familiar for now.
