What's up guys - finished a couple things up. Thought I'd share. Thesis of all this is: after some time behind the platform, made some decisions on what was right for me. Not crutches, just features I liked/decided were worth it. Goal of both of these were to complete no BS setups that will enable me to get the most out of upcoming training.
I jumped on a 12" PSA upper when they came out (before they started installing the under-sized gas tubes) Great feel to it, will come out to 6.1lbs with the lower mentioned below. Was interested in a 11.5-12.5" SBR for training this summer, and at $379 I felt this was too good to pass up. This setup is VERY soft-shooting but will not run under-powered ammunition.
12" 4150 barrel
1/7 twist
.067 GP
5.56 nato (confirmed - field gauge)
Centurion cutout rail
Magpul RVG
x300
XT07 tape switch (when I can find one)
DD 1.5 fixed rear
Comp M2 soon
BCM complete BCG
Regular charging handle and A2 FH
As soon as stamp comes in I'll update with range report/chrono results.
Recently picked up a 16" Colt LE6920 upper, most likely will shave the FSB off of this, add a longer rail and hopefully a TA31 or Elcan Specter DR. Only 150 rounds through it, but runs as expected. Hopefully can do some distance work soon with this, we'll see if Trident will mentor meAs pictured it weighs 7.7lbs
Now on to the lower that will play host for these uppers, and most likely some others in the future. My goal was to put the money where I felt it'd be worth it. I saved a ton by going with PSAs stripped lower during a sale, and put those savings toward a A5 system and BAD ASS ambi selector. Happy with the versatility the A5 offers and BADs stuff is great. The emod is by far my favorite stock, the cheek weld is great and it offers some weight bias to the rear when longer barreled uppers are attached to the lower. Can't speak for all of PSAs stuff, as they're new, but this lower was 'to spec'...yes I was fighting a bought of OCD and compared Colt's lower blueprint to PSAs lower.
PSA stripped lower
G&R LPK
Magpul stuff
Vltor A5
Vltor emod
BAD ASS ambi selector
BFG padded Vickers sling with QDs added (not sewn)
Many thanks to M4C as just about everybodies opinion played a part in this for one reason or another. Thanks for lookin. Critiques welcome.
