View Full Version : My home defense build
Not my first AR, but my first actual build from the ground up.

Was building this as primarily a fun shooter and for home defense rifle.

Nice build. And LMT LPK? Where did you find this?
G&R Tactical. I purchased the one with the ALG QMS trigger. Very nice and clean break, VERY nice parts kit.

Ahhhhhh ok. I put an ALG ACT in my latest build. And just like you said. Good clean break
I have the same flashlight. It will probably give you problems being weapon mounted. If shaken it cycles through modes.

I haven't had a problem yet. It had served well on my last rifle.

That's the light I carry, 180 lumens of tight white light, all in a slim body, easy to carry, hardly even know its in your pocket. I want to put it on my colt, but wasn't sure which Vltor mount would fit. I assumed the SME mount, but the barrel diameter specs (Vltor) and Streamlight specs were off a bit. Now I see that it fits, I'm picking that mount up tomorrow.

I actually had to put a thin price of rubber in the mount for it to tighten up the way I wanted it to. But it won't budge now.
The only thing that makes me nervous is that Buffer. For a house gun, I'd personally run a real buffer.... well for any gun, but especially a house gun.

Good to know thanks, I'm so getting it tomorrow, the 6P just became a house light now.

I've had mine for a few years now, it is a little beat up from being in my pocket. It worked perfectly until recently. It seems the battery contact spring on the tailcap is getting weaker and sometimes if shaken it will cycle through to strobe then low. I've also heard of people putting an o-ring over the spring to give more support to the battery.

That does make sense.
RMiller,
Not too bad man. Did the Redi-Mag come with the slip over piece that enlarges the contact area of the bolt release? That's a little bitty button to hit with the Redi-Mag right in front of it.

Ha ha. Yep that's it. I was gonna send you mine (I run a BAD lever ) if you didn't have it.

I tried the B.A.D lever, but didn't care for it in conjunction with the RediMag. So I left it off.
That and I was under the impression that the RediMag was to release both mags when the mag release is hit. It doesn't, and I'm not really upset with that, cause I'm preferring it being released separately. Kinda like a RediMod. Is the fact that my RediMag is a gen II have anything to do with it?
Also added a new part that was a little late coming in.

Yep,
I goofed up on another thread with this but the later model has the separate mag release which is better in my opinion. The standard model does not. As far as answering the question about Gen 2 I am assuming your statement is true. Brownells does not list it as generational differences and BP's website doesn't even have the original model on their site. It just has the new aluminum version and 2 variants w/the seperate mag release. The MK1 and the MK1 quick attach.

Got a chance to fire it today for the first time!
Between my old DPMS and this rifle.....its night and day.
No effort to keep it on target, and smooth.......sooo smooth....
250 rds and not a single malfunction.
The QMS trigger is strides better than a standard milspec trigger. I still want to invest in a geiselle after a while and maybe a troy rail, but this rifle will serve its purpose just fine for a while.
The only thing that makes me nervous is that Buffer. For a house gun, I'd personally run a real buffer.... well for any gun, but especially a house gun.
What is it about the buffer that makes you nervous? Do you think the weight is not enough? Just curious as I think the build looks good, and the choice of parts looks alright...I guess.

The only reason is it may be slightly too heavy on a midlength gas system, especially with light loads. I had no issues, so I'm not concerned.
Decided I didn't like the fixed rear DD sight. So it came off. Feels too cluttered to me.

Cool, didn't figure that would be an issue, but sounds good nontheless. I see a pic of you shooting, have you experienced any faults that might be attributted to the buffer weight?

Those buffers don't work like real buffers. More bolt bounce possible.
