Inspired to build an SPR

[SeriousStudent]

Thank you for all the effort you put into this thread, it is appreciated.

I'm doing a Recce build as we speak, and also chose a Geissele rail.

Thanks fellas, I appreciate it.

How do you like the Geissele Rails?

The Geissele SMR rails might be one of the most well designed rails that I have ever used. Without a doubt. Solid, well built, easy to install. I'm officially a big fan. I wanted to use one for a long while now, but didn't have plans for a new upper and I rarely replace components on existing uppers if what I already have is working just fine. This new upper provided the opportunity to scratch that itch to finally use one. Unfortunately, I was a few months late and finding a keymod G rail was next to impossible. It really bugs me that they decided to only produce mlok. When I asked "why?" I was told that mlok was simply easier to machine.

The Geissele and BCM KMR are by far my favorite rail designs out there right now.

Nice rig. I also love the Geissele rails. Their bullet proof! How do you like the bipod. I am looking for one for my SPR, and consider the same atlas you have there.

The Atlas is great. Been using this one for a couple of years now. It's strong and offers greater adjustability than a Harris (leg positions). But it is slower to deploy. It's built like a tank. Tilt & pan are also nice.

Thanks SS. I didn't want to just post up the typical "look at my new toy" thread. Which rail are you going to use?

Great write up. A nice example of what a build thread should be.

And nice rifle!

Nice build! The Geissele rail is a nice touch. My SPR-ish build is very similar.

Man, i would like to get my hands on one but it seems they are sold out on the Geissele website. I was planning to get the DD lite rail for my current build but that might change with how much i like the how the SMR looks.

ROG Tactical was the only place I could find the keymod SMR. They still had some earlier this week.

Those nice folks at BCM sold me a Mk II. Light weight, but I can still beat a water buffalo to death with it.

You know how pesky water buffalo can be.

I've an Atlas for mine as well. Still contemplating optics.

Yeah, those Mk2 & Mk3 versions are the definition of bomb proof, or maybe buffalo proof?

I'm looking at optics now. Trying to decide between the Vortex HST 4-16X44 or the PST 2.5-10x44.

Thanks for the heads up.

Great write up, and very nice build. Your SPR is screaming for spray paint
