    Cerakoted patriot brown locally. It was a very overcast day so the color doesn't look as dark as some patriot brown finishes I've seen but it is darker compared than my M&P slide that was cerakoted Magpul FDE.

    This was actually the first lower I assembled a few years ago and made the typical FNG errors by scratching the lower installing a few of the pins and using Loctite on the castle nut and receiver extension ( yeah, I know better now, ), hence the mix/match of lower parts. That ruined the receiver extension, castle nut, and end plate so I picked out some individual parts I liked to replace them and installed them correctly. I have Geissele triggers in a few other ARs and love them, the DD mount used to be on my 5.45 AR but I am shooting that less for obvious reasons so I moved the H-1 that was on that gun to my .300 BLK SBR in a Fortis F1 mount. I've found the B5 Bravo stock to be the perfect balance of light weight and cheek weld for me as I have them on quite a few other ARs. I think I have BCM Mod 4s in all but 3 of my ARs; I've found nothing better. The Aim Surplus BCG was a gift from my wife and I haven't read about any issues with this bolt as it is C158 and not 9310 . I like the shape and contour of the B5/Umbrella Grip 23 better than the BCM but I wish it had storage capacity and grit of the BCM Grip. The Mk4 is a great rail but had been priced more than I wanted to spend until the recent price reductions from Bill.

    I decided to get it cerakoted because why the hell not .

    A proprietary barrel profile by Ballistic Advantage that's lighter than a standard gov profile barrel, but heavier profiled than a true pencil barrel. The gas block journal also lacks a shoulder and is a more ideal barrel profile than a government profile barrel.

    ETA: sweet rifle btw.

    In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear;
    and safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here:
    the storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid;
    but God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?

    Thanks for the complement Leonidas24 and for answering misfit47's question.

    ETA- I ended up going with an H2 buffer instead of an H3. No issues so far suppressed or unsuppressed.

    Cool build
    I have several BA barrels, they make nice stuff.
    Never over gassed and all shoot well.
