My Home Defense Build

[rob_s]

Well thought out and good execution. Plan on doing anything for rail panels? Check out the Surefire Z70 ladders, low profile and cheap as hell.

Things I'm missing: (in no particular order)

Larue index clips

Just wondering, isn't that an AAC Blackout FH non-mount and not a Smith Vortex?

[SpankMonkey]

ETA: You've probably heard this before, but feeding that thing Wolf ammo is like putting Heidi Klum in a pair of coveralls and putting a paper bag over her head...not just a bad idea but definitely not doing any favors.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Please keep quiet.

This is exactly what I bought: https://www.primaryarms.com/Noveske_...vu-lcb-556.htm


In the description it says Vortex but looking at it on the rifle, it's stamped AAC.


I'm pretty sure it's this one: http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin...status=&title=

Maybe it's some sort of collaboration?

It's definitely an AAC blackout on the Primary Arms link you posted. It looks to be the same on your rifle. It's nothing bad though, either or will serve your needs as they both act out of the same principle.

I like the traditional look. Would definitely use frangible rounds for home defense.

You know frangible is only really frangible on steel right? It will rip through sheet rock just like any other round. Frangible has no advantage when it comes to leathality, so why pay more(it's expensive) for a 42-55 grain bullet when you can get say 62 grain lake city cheaper.

Where did you find a $50 PSA lower?

[AKDoug]

They had them on sale for $49 on black friday back in Nov. 2011.

[hatchtrikk]

Yeah, in 2011 PSA had their lowers for 50USD quite a few times. Since they've become so popular, I'm not sure if they will again.

They go for 80 all the time, however.

I picked up 3. I've been really pleased so far with them -- the LPKs installed easily and precisely. I also appreciate the generously flared magwell and even anodizing.


hatchtrikk, thanks for posting the build and especially your goals and reasoning. Please keep us posted as you train with it more and any changes you make relative to your original goals.
