Very nice!
I thought I was completed after my first ar, now I now have three ar's and I'm still adding or changing within the three!
Thinking about that special fourth one too!

Have fun

What lower did you use? What did you mean by ripped casings and do you have any pictures of the cases?

If you use even a little lube you shouldn't be having problems.

cmmg 223-556...
think round fired, cases had, where the extractor holds, been sheered...
dropped a cleaning rod down and they popped out fairly easily.

How did you arrive at the conclusion of your selection? Specifically the YHM gas block sight.

I wanted a base to start with carbine, but without the normal stock and hand guard. It will change as my needs/preferences develop. As for the yanhee hill front sight, I liked the hk style front as I feel it gives me a more comfortable sight picture. If the yankee hill becomes problematic, I can swap it out with another more robust sight/gas block. This is an ever evolving process as what works for me is still being ironed out and tested. After a few more houndred rounds, we'll see what I need/want to change to make the gun more reliable. Good think I have this site and you lads for a knowledgebase...
