A small update: BCG and VFG

RRA BCG

This is not the best staking job in the world, but makes me want to invest in a MOAKS and do my own when needed.

Say what you want, I prefer to have the BCG staked after listening to people who rely on the AR system more than most of us would ever. And since the first and formost job of this gun will be HD.

Up next is the wife got her VFG grips come in. Got them for $25 and can't go wrong with the price. There are deals out there gentlemen, just have to look for them.

You will notice that I moved the light mount around to the right side. I did this so my thumb could easily turn the light on and off given that the VFG didn't have the groove to put in the pressure switch.

Finally, pic of the family's 'combat' guns. M1911, M1911A1 and an AR-15

In FL, I would guess the CCW will come in first, in for 1911 mags!

I just got my shipping notification that the CMT/Stag LPK will be here on Wedsday. So, if it comes by wedsday you got 2 free 1911 mags

Skald, did you have to headspace your BCM upper?

Nope, already comes headspaced and such from them.

that was what I was hoping. Thanks!

WOW! Man, that is just looking awesome! If I can make one suggestion, look into an offset light mount, (LaRue, VLTOR, etc). I found the light mount included with the NES buy to be inadequate. An offset mount will put the light right where your thumb can naturally reach. Can't wait for a range report!

Actually, my thumb has no real problems reaching it (very large hands).

Also, went to the range today. Dear god this thing is frickin sweet. I need to buy a sight adjustment tool and the like, but I can't wait to see what it does with a nice optic on it.

AWESOME!!!

Sadly, the LPK came in before the CCW.

I know, I'd picked the CCW too, given its damn close to the 90day mandatory issuance.

That's ok, glad to see your rifles are coming along nicely.

Also, I'm thinking about moving down to Florida at the end of the year, probably to the Orlando area.

If you do, stop by in Jax (you will be going through/around it) and we can have lunch and shoot some.

Got the Stag LPK in and people, this LPK is definitely heads and shoulders above the DPMS and RRA ones. The trigger doesn't feel 'plasticy' and the feeling on it is phenomenal.

Definitely! I'll be sure to get in contact with you when I finalize my plans. I'd love to shoot one of these bad larry's your building.

 

[Skald]

By the time you come down will have the 16" BCM and the 10.5" LMT to shoot.

also can bring you to a few good places for food and drink after (especially if you like Japanese food, we got a slew of sushi shops and steak houses)

 

[Skald]

Ok, 10.5" LMT is in transit, hope to have pics sometime next week!

 

[Skald]

Almost done!

Need the BUIS for the 10.5" and optics for both

Hey Skald,

What do you think about the UBR so far? Is it heavy?

 

[Skald]

Hey Skald,

What do you think about the UBR so far? Is it heavy?

Its a bit heavy, but helps balance out the 16" BCM Middy. A few of the guys over at M4C.net who have a few different AR's set up said the UBR balances out the 16" better than the MOE can. I tend to agree, with the MOE and Troy handguards it is kind of front heavy.

The MOE stock pairs AWESOMELY with the 10.5" LMT w/ LT 7" handguard. Need the VFG not because its so heavy but for better grip for me.

God those are nice rifles...Excellent work my friend...
