Specs:

AR15.com lower
Daniel Defense Lower Parts Kit
CMMG 16" MidLength Upper. Chrome lined 1/7 barrel and chamber
LaRue Tactical Padded 2 Point Sling
Magpul MOE Grip Flat Dark Earth
Magpul CTR Carbine Stock (Milspec) Flat Dark Earth
DSA Milspec Buffer Tube Kit
Magpul Flat Dark Earth Magazines
Midwest Industries Emergency Rear Sight

I plan on either getting an EOTech 512 or an Aimpoint for the optic. I already have an EOTech on my other AR, so I am leaning toward an Aimpoint

Once you go AK you never go back! Nice build though. I got sick of paying for .223!

I may have a spare EOTech 512 sitting around..... let me check. :tu

I've been back 3 or 4 times now ;)

Without going into the AR/AK debate, I can say without a doubt there isn't an AK on the market that I would choose over an AR.

[MiamiE]

That's what I like to see! I got a couple "custom" builds along with a WASR and some receivers the ATF wouldn't like. :r

[replicant_argent]

I suppose you will need my shipping address, Dan. Hell of a great fella.

Sometimes I wonder what ol' Mikhail Timefeyovich Kalashnikov thinks of the popularity of his design in the States....:D

[AAlmeter]

Nice lower! :banger

[kelmac07]

Nice Dan!! :tu

[cort]

You're a bad ass, Dan:banger

[JE3146]

So how's it shoot? :)

[catfish2]

sweet dude

[E-Tx Surveyor]

Well done, I like the black and earth combo. I can't wait to get my first AR.

[elderboy02]

So how's it shoot? :)

I haven't shot it yet

[JE3146]

I haven't shot it yet

Then we don't know if you mucked up that build or not yet :D


Course you had a pre-assembled upper, which takes half the fun out of it ;)

It is possible that I screwed up the build, but I think I am fine because I did function checks on it.

[HK3-]

Nice looking AR you have built.

A friend of mine did an AR build and we shot it at my local range a few weeks back.... after months and months of waiting on this and that to arrive..... in the end, it sucked for accuracy. I blame it on his poor choice in optics.

[marge796]

Looks great, Dan!!!

Chris.....

[kgoings]

He'd be ok with it b/c Dan is a commie.:)

I cant stop looking at the couch.

TA31F

Sweet. We use a TA476 where I work. Works beautifully.

I used to own a TA01NSN, but I sent it to my friend in Iraq while he was on tour. When he got back he bought me this TA31F.

I have to say I like the TA31F much better. The fiberoptics are a nice touch.

I've never used the compact ACOG's though. They look appealing, but the price tag for a 2x optic just makes me look towards an Aimpoint instead. What's your take on that? ie. Which would you prefer if price was a consideration?

[maninblack]

If price were a consideration, I'd go with the ACOG's. I love using these scopes and have never had any issues with them.I am thankful I don't have to pay for them though. I want one for my AR but can't pull the trigger due to the price.

I got a super deal on my TA01NSN. Somewhere around the tune of 550$.

If it hadn't of been for that, I wouldn't have paid the price tag. It felt wrong not to spend the dough with that kind of deal.

[bvilchez]

ACOGS are the way to go.

I've got a EOTech 552.A65/1 up for sale if anyone wants. Brand new never used it.

I prefer the M-4. USG issue. :D

Whats the price on that?

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Nice looking guns Dan and Jordan:tu

[ODLS1]

Nice. Man it's been a while since I've shot mine. I really want to asap. I didn't build mine but got a great deal on a Colt Match Target AR15, 20". I love it. I almost got a 2-stage trigger for it but never did. I got a Army surplus .223 years ago for a great price. 1000 rounds, but I don't remember how much I paid. Before that I made the mistake of buying Wolf ammo... DON'T. After a day of shooting the firing pin was black. I took it completely apart and cleaned everything. It was nasty. I've never been a fan of AKs much, although I do have a Yugo SKS which is a fun little plinker.
