First Build Complete!!!!!!!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I really just pinned the upper and lower together, but finally got it all together! I told the wife I would buy it piece by piece over a few months, but once I bought the first part I caught the fever and had it all together in 2 weeks.

It's a New Frontier lower (LPK will be upgraded) with a PSA 16" mid length upper. I changed the fore-end to an OD green Magpul MOE and put on a mil spec Magpul CTR stock. BCG is a commercial DPMS but will be changed as soon as Bravo Company gets more in stock. I couldn't find an OD green grip at the gunshow so I'lll have to order one online I guess.

I'm pumped and can't wait to go shoot it, but wife said I have to get someone more knowledgable to check it over first. She doesn't trust YouTube like I do!! Anybody in the Lafayette area with knowledge in AR platforms want to do a quick QC check for a case of beer shoot me a PM.

I found a half way decent deal on an assembled upper so I'll save the complete build for the next one.

If it was pre built upper you should be good to go. As long as your bcg is mil spec the headspace should be fine.

Well with the upcoming AWB and bam on "big clips" you won't be able to buy them anymore, so I'll trade you for you Haynie, a 4x4 truck (2000 or newer), or a 3 bedroom house on at least 10 acres :D! It's a good deal, think about it!

That's what I'm worried about because it's a commercial BCG. I guess I should have a gunsmith check it out then.

I keep having to look at it again....I really like the simplicity!!! Whats your total cost?

Right at $800-850. I wanted a nice KISS rifle. The most I'll put on it is a mounted light and maybe a vertical grip up front and nice optics once I replenish the gun fund! Once I figure out the BCG issue I'll let you know when I go shoot.

Matt G 02-10-2013 02:12 PM

Edit that last statement.... Added up the receipts and I was closer to $1,000..... Still not too bad for these panic price days. I'm happy so it's worth it!

LPfishnTIM 02-10-2013 04:52 PM

looks nice, still need the headspace checked!

Dink 02-10-2013 05:03 PM

Check out the BSA sweet 223.....thats what I put on and really like it. It was on sale for $60 from $200 online

Just picked up #3 for 1150.. With 250 rounds / with the 22 inter change chamber

If u negotiate these Tards you can get them cheap!!!

Cousin picked up for me today and its clean and shot a clips of .223 nato and clip of 22L

Matt G 02-12-2013 03:21 PM

Update: I didn't get a BRavo Company BCG, but I found another milspec and have it changed out. I quit being a little puss and nutted up and told the old lady to stand down, I was shooting it. Who needs all their fingers anyways?! I shot 3 rounds and it cycled flawlessly! Looks like I'm in business now podna!!!

Upcoming ban? You make it sound like a ban is imminent. I dont see a ban happening at all. Hi cap mags maybe....maybe.

I was being a smart @$$...... You know, making fun of the people asking $2,500 for a $800 rifle and call magazines clips. I have no doubt in my mind the Dems cannot pass an AWB. I don't think they'll even touch the hi-cap mags. I hope they would tackle the deficit before worrying about something so petty as petty as that.

Agreed but banning standard capacity mags (30 rds) will be a moral victory...not taking care of our economy or healthcare system for the mental and physical sake of the country but what do I know...

Dink 02-16-2013 10:24 AM

Sulphite nailed it......standard mag. Not high capacity
