Long Lurker - First AR Build

[Junkie]

Looks nice. If you don't have much experience with 1 point slings, they're a great way to hit yourself in the nuts.

Where's the thumbs up icon? LOL. I've got a blue force 2 point and have an extra qd on the sling to make it 1 point if needed. So far 2 point seems much more for me.

Thanks as well to the others for the optic suggestions. I'll take a look at the aimpoint pro as well. I do like the ability to just leave the aimpoint on all day every day and not have to worry about it much.

Here's the parts list...

Parts:
BCM Complete Upper - 16" Lightweight Enhanced barrel, 15" keymod rail, BCM Mod0 Comp, BCG, Forward Assist
BCM Abmi Charging Handle
BCM Mod3 Grip
Spikes Tactical Punisher Stripped Lower
Red Barn Armory lower parts kit
Yankee Hill take down pins - already going to replace these with Battle Arms pins. I set the gun up ambi and can barely hit the right side Battle Arms BADASS because the pin sticks out so far
Troy Ambi mag release
ALG ACT Trigger
Battle Arms Badass ambi safety selector
Magpul Front and Rear back up sights Gen 2
Magpul Buttpad
Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard - Punisher Engraved
KAK Milspec buffer and enhanced spring
Magpul CTR stock
Blueforce Gear Vickers 2 point sling

I know what you mean

Very nice looking rifle OP! I would say your first "build" was a success.

[Spring-Diver]

Congrats!

Hopefully I'll have the funds next month to start my first build...I can't wait

Cheers

You clearly didn't read his post


OP, which LPK did you use?

In addition to an Aimpoint, I would highly recommend the BCM handstop and keymod covers if you have the cash to spare.

Clearly I did.......the BCM upper was shipped fully built.

Looks a lot like my build in progress although mine isn't ready for show. I wasn't sure how an extended handrail would look with the 16-inch barrel but now I know.

You might check out some of the budget priced 1-4 and 1-6 optics too.
