    Finished my new upper




    • BCM Stripped Upper
    • Spike's Tactical 16" Mid-length CHF CL 1/7 'Optimum Profile' FN Made Barrel
    • Spikes Tactical FA BCG
    • BattleComp 2.0
    • Spike's Tactical Melonite Coated Gas Tube
    • MI Gas Block (barrel dimpled and set screws staked)
    • BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle
    • Midwest Industries Rifle Length Two-Piece FF Rail
    • Aimpoint Comp ML2
    • Magpul MBUS Front and Rear
    • Magpul AFG and Rail Covers



    Took it out last night and and got everything tested and zeroed. It shot great! This is my first mid-length and I like the softer recoil impulse compared to my carbines.

    Now I just need to finish the lower once the stripped lower gets here.

    Nice build. I plan on going the midlength route in the near future.

    Keep us updated on how that FN barrel works out. I haven't heard much about them

    Finally got a pic of the lower done.



    • Spikes Stripped Lower
    • DD Buffer Tube
    • Spikes ST-T2 Buffer (mainly because I had it, but it's running 100% thus far)
    • Mostly Colt Lower Parts
    • MagPul ACS
    • MagPul MIAD Grip & Enhanced Trigger Guard
    • MagPul BAD Lever (never had any problems with them)
    • MagPul ASAP


    I only have a few hundred rounds through it so far, but I'm really liking it and think it's going to be a pretty solid carbine.

    Do you like the Magpul AFG? I'm trying to decide whether to add one to my next rifle.

    I like it. It puts my hand in a more natural position when I'm reaching out on the gun. However, some don't like them and still prefer a vertical grip to index on. It's all personal preference.

    My advise would be to try and find someone running an AFG and see how YOU like it.

    Thanks! I'll do it.
