Just a build thread for my own personal documentation. Thought it was worth sharing and also a great place for me to ask questions for those that are more experienced.
When I started this journey,I hadn't much of a clue on how the AR platform worked. I had shot a few. Some friends have carbines for plinking and just are your average shooters. A good friend of my fathers, who is an avid night time caller, showed us his AR with the thermal scope one night. I knew I had to try and build one after a little bit of research. The thought crossed my mind to buy something like Remington R-15, Mossberg MMR hunter, etc.
But, after further research decided I could handle this building disease I had heard about. I wanted to just build something plain, functional, and not overly expensive but would get the job done for my day calling needs. I also wanted something that wasn't just all black, as I think it is kind of boring, especially for a rifle built for hunting needs.
Thanks to this community for answering questions, providing great discussion, and good times to be had on the internet!
LOWER:
Spike's "badger" stripped lower
CMMG LPK/ Mil Spec trigger group
Magpul MOE Fixed Rifle Stock ODG
Hogue Over Molded Rubber grip ODG
2x Magpul 20Rd Mag ODG
JoeBobs A2 Buffer Tube Kit
UPPER:
Aero Precision BLEM complete receiver
Bear Creek Arms 18" 1:9 fluted Hbar
PSA Full auto BCG
BCM Gunfighter with Med latch
BTE 12" Free Float Tube ODG ( waiting for this to ship)
Still have a few odds and ends to pick up and decide what I want to run for optics.
Sorry for the low light pictures, I just moved across town and don't have my workbench quite setup like I want.
Im fairly mechanically inclined ( been working on cars,motorcycles, atv's for 10+ years) so it has been fairly easy thus far. Waiting for hand guard to show up so I can begin assembling the upper.
