My 16" Midlength Build

[Mike14_07]

Just finished up my 16" midlength build, plan on it being my main rifle. This is my 3rd full build and i really like the way it turned out. Bought most parts new when they came on sale during the holidays and some from the EE. I wanted a simple 16" midlength rifle built with quality parts that would do just about anything i wanted and not be so expensive that id be afraid to use it. It will mainly be used for predator and some light hog hunting, till i build my 6.8 im collecting parts for, but i plan on taking some courses soon with it. Hopefully ill get my front sight in this week and get to test it out and sighted in. I plan on getting a vortex strike eagle for the time being until i can afford a trijicon 1-4x, then i will put the strike eagle on one of my cheaper guns.

You built my perfect lower. That's a good looking rifle.

Good choice on the A5.

[Mike14_07]

Thanks, im hoping the a5h2 was the right choice, and im not stuck waiting on h1 an h0.

Keep updated on your buffer weight choice.

Without knowing that port size, it's anyone's guess. But, my midlengths will run an H2 without effort and I run the H3 regularly.

A5h2 or carbine h2?

[556BlackRifle]

Pretty sure he means A5. I have six carbines running the A5 system and all but two are running A5-H2. The two that run A5-H3 are over gassed. e.g. oversized gas port. (Noveske) I also should note that I prefer Springco green springs over the standard Vltor A5 spring. BTW; My last two are cryo treated. Not enough rounds fired at this point to tell if it really helps - but it sounds good in theory.

Anyway, the A5-H2 system is usually a good starting point.

Well done!!!

Just got done at the range. Locked back everytime through about 20 mags with 5 roumds in them. Shot about 2" group at 100 yds with iron sights, less then 1" at 50yds. I was shooting 64gr .223 gdsp. Thats very good for my eye sight. Super happy with everything about it. Should be buying a 1-4x or 1-6x scope in the next couple weeks.
