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

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

Very Nice:tu

Re: New AR Build
 

What no rail covers? ;)


Looks nice. Almost as good as mine :D .. almost ;)

Re: New AR Build
 

I don't need no stinking rail covers ;) :)

Re: New AR Build
 

So no rail covers.. no vert grip... no shoot-me-light or laser..


Whats the point of a rail? :r

Re: New AR Build
 

Crap, I forgot to put the grip and light on it :bh

Re: New AR Build
 

Newbies.... :D

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

Oh yeah.... I got one of those ;)

Yugo M70

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

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.

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

:r, I'll take whatever one you don't send Pete :D

Nice looking guns Dan.

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

Nice lower! :banger

Re: New AR Build
 

Nice Dan!! :tu

Re: New AR Build
 

You're a bad ass, Dan:banger

Re: New AR Build
 

So how's it shoot? :)

Re: New AR Build
 

sweet dude

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

I haven't shot it yet

Re: New AR Build
 

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 ;)

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

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.

Re: New AR Build
 

Looks great, Dan!!!


:tu


Chris.....

Re: New AR Build
 

Very nice, when you gonna shoot it?

Re: New AR Build
 

Post up your pics!

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Nice piece of equipment, Dan!:tu

Re: New AR Build
 

it looks a little long:D you wont need and eotech on it with long old thing.


Got to love the SBRs;)

Re: New AR Build
 

ty ty... poor thing hasn't been shot in ages. Gonna fix that this week.

Re: New AR Build
 

Is that an ACOG scope?

Re: New AR Build
 

yea

TA31F

Re: New AR Build
 

I cant stop looking at the couch.

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

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?

Re: New AR Build
 

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.

Re: New AR Build
 

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.

Re: New AR Build
 

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.

Re: New AR Build
 

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

Re: New AR Build
 

Whats the price on that?

Re: New AR Build
 

Nice looking guns Dan and Jordan:tu

Re: New AR Build
 

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.
