I have only been into AR's for about the last year or so. My first was a Colt 6920 Socom ii that my stepfather (DPS GIITEM Sargent) "convinced" me into buying. We went out shooting the next day and I was hooked. He asked why I the hell was never interested in this growing up and I had no idea why I wasn't.
A couple of months ago I built my first lower, a PSA stripped lower with a Colt LPK and BCM buffer. It went well but I was scared to build my own upper so I ordered a DD 16in upper and slapped it together with a BCM BCG, BCM charging handle, and Magpul Furnature.
This has only since increased my want to assemble one from scratch. So when my local gun shop decided to put out good deal on a Wilson Combat upper and lower stripped receiver set I decided to go for it after getting permission from the wife of course.
Lower Receiver:
Forged Wilson Combat Cal Multi (I really liked their rollmark and it was a great price with the upper)
Alg Defense ACT trigger (Smooth and crisp so far)
Battle Arms Development BAD-ASS ambidextrous safety selector with reg/short levers (whats not to like)
Battle Arms Development Enhanced Takedown Pins (Didn't know if I would really notice a difference of standard pins but so far love these)
BCM 6 position Stock Kit with H1 buffer (BCM is always quality)
MagPul MIAD grip
B5 Systems Bravo Stock (Not sure about this stock so far, wish it had a friction lock, will probably switch out for a CTR or STR.)
Colt Small parts
Upper:
Forged (matching) Wilson Combat Upper (Love that there is no markings other than the forge mark)
Colt 16in gov. profile barrel (1-7 twist Chrome lined) (Got this off EE from BUOPtimus Prime a great gut to do business with)
Rainier Ams low profile gas block dimpled to barrel (Also of EE)
Midwest Industries 15in SSM-M-Lok Handgaurd ( Decided to take a shot at the M-lock system and I like the looks of the MI rail, almost went with the Geissele but I was being cheap, still may go with a Geissele if the M-lock system takes off)
Colt BCG (went with a Colt barrel so why not a Colt BCG)
Rainer Arms Raptor Charging handle (love this thing)
Colt A2 flash hider (what to say?)
BCM forward assist and dust cover
Optics:
Magpul MBUS front and rear BUIS (no issues with these on my other rifle so why change now)
Aimpoint Comp m4 ( Picked this up in a trade for bow I never shoot)
Well anyways here are some pictures. I haven't had a chance to go out and zero her yet but hopefully next week Ill have some more time off. I am also not sure on what light I want to run yet, thinking about maybe a mini scout, I would like to keep it fairly light up front.
Wilson, Colt, PSA/DD
