My first rifle

[ovlov28]

Hey all! I have been lurking here for quite a while, gaining info and reading all sorts of good things. With the help of what I learned here, and from the guys down at Rainier Arms, I put together my first rifle!


Noveske N4 blem lower
Magpul CTR/Mil Spec buffer tube
DPMS LPK (bought before I did enough reading, changing up soon)
Stark Grip (feels good, great size when wearing gloves)
BAD lever(going to take it off and try it for a while, been on since day one)

Rainier Arms Combat series upper (earlier style)
- Billet ultramatch upper reciever
-RA TB BCG
-DD M4 CHF M4 profile 16bbl
-RA XTC comp
-Magpul AFG (going to try to modify it to make it smaller)
-Vltor Light mount
-O-light M21 light (7/80/500 lum/strobe)
-Magpul MOE Handguard Carbine length
-Magpul MBUS
-A2 FSB (F marked)
-Aimpoint PRO (just got today!)

I have the bug and want to do another one, but I am going to train now and enjoy!

Comments welcomed!

Looks good. Glad you did your homework. Got a quality piece there. Only thing I would change is the rear site to a Troy but thats JMO.

Nice rifle!What vltor flashlight mount are you using for the o light?

[ovlov28]

Warthog - PM'd you, but it is a Vltor Offset Scout mount. The body of the O-light was too small for the Vltor mount for the G-series Surefires (which is what I had intended to get), but this one worked like a champ when we tried it in store down at Rainier. I got the screw style mount, not the QR version.

Dump the Olight as soon as possible, it wont hold up mounted to a rifle, ask me how I know.

Save up for a surefire.

That is part of my follow up list after having it for a while and learing more from this forum.

G2x (Tac) in, O-light moves to backpack
Wilson TTU in, DPMS stuff out, also adding non-rotating pins
H-buffer in, carbine buffer out

Once my new shop opens up (under construction now!) I'll get this stuff squared, and update this thread

Be aware surefire specifically says not to use the g2x on a weapon. Upon researching it, the g2x doesn't have dual springs that otherwise protect the housing during recoil. That said, there are lots of people running them without issue.

It seems that the durability of the LEDs has let quite a few people get away with this sort of abuse. If nothing else, one isn't out the cost of a hugely expensive light, just have a reason to upgrade to SF's latest and greatest housing/LED combo.

Does the Stark grip replace the trigger guard or am I seeing wrong? It looks pretty nice, I always wondered how they felt but I've never felt confident enough to buy one.
