I don't think this has been done before but I've been known to be wrong.

Post a picture of any AR's that you've built from lowers bought thru the NES group buys.

Here's mine from the first (?) buy with custom NES serial number:

It doesn't specify "NES engraved lowers", so here is my AR built from the stripped lower I got from jasons LRB Arms group buy a couple of months ago.

I'll play. It has a Magpul MS2 Multi Mission Sling System on it now using QD Sling Mounts.

- Spike's Tactical M4 flat top upper receiver
- 14.5" Lightweight Barrel with Pinned Spike's Tactical DyanComp
- Spike's Tactical 12” BAR Rail
- NES YHM Lower
- Spike's Lower Parts Kit
- BCM Gunfighter Mod 0 Grip
- RRA A2 Operator Stock
- YHM QDS BUIS
- Primary Arms Micro Dot Sight

 
dbott - how do you like the PA Micro? I'm looking at getting one of the Primary Arms optics because it seems to be a fairly sought after budget red dot. So when I save enough for an EOTech, I could always resell the PA.

For the money I think the sight is great. The PA QD mount that I have it on leaves something to be desired. It's got a bit more play in it than id like. I'll probably upgrade the mount at some point.
 
OK, I'll play:

1st NES Lower: .223 Stag upper, EOTech Red Dot, Tactical Flashlight and Green Laser

Here are the three I recently built from the DGW lower group buy. Just ignore the AKs in the photo, I thought I took one of just the ARs. The AKs are all conversions from last year's Saiga group buys.

Edit: I found a pic of just the ARs.

The one on the left has a DPMS Lo-Pro upper with a Simmons 2-9X scope, the one in the FDE Magpul stuff is a Stag Model 2 upper, and the one with the A2 buttstock is a Stag Model 3 upper with a Primary Arms red dot.
