This build started out accidently. Not in a Panic but as we all know things in the market place are all out of whack. The title of the thread is indicative of what is going on nowadays. I knew I wanted another AR and I was planning on a SPR/Recce type weapon. I already have a Noveske 10.5" SBR and a BCM 14.5" Middy. So the SPR/Recce type weapon was next in line. I had planned on purchasing a LMT complete lower and then a BCM complete 16" Middy upper and mate them together. This only half way came about. Below are my specs
Lower:
Aero Precision Stripped Lower
Colt LPK minus FCG (Pieced together from Brownells)
LMT 2 Stage trigger and safety (Left over from swapping out for Geiselle trigger on my BCM/LMT 14.5" Middy
Vltor Imod stock
Noveske QD end plate and Castle ring
Upper:
BCM 16" BFH barreled upper
Centurion 12" C4 rail
Colt BCG
BCM Mod 4 Charging Handle
Troy Front & Rear Flip Up Buis
A2 Flash Hider
I have not figured out which optic I want to mount on the weapon yet. I know I want some type of 1x - 4 or 6 optic. Leupold, Vortex, TRG24 are all on my list for now. I'm going to try to stay right around $1K for the optic. The weapon is complete except for the optic. I'll post pics soon. One thing I do have to say is that this was my first lower build. I was surprised at how easy it was. The Aero Precision lower seems to be a quality lower. The Colt Lower parts fit perfectly. The BCM upper and AP Lower fit great together. I'm going to take my time deciding on the optic. This build wasnt really supposed to happen right now. All this maddness kind of rushed things along. Luckily I was able to put together a fairly good setup. The only part I don't know too much about is the AP Lower. Everything else is pretty much top of the line. We'll see how the weapon shakes out when I can mount my optic and start putting rounds down range. I do plan on swapping out the LMT trigger for a Geiselle SD-C trigger. I have one in my SBR and love it. I also have a UBR stock on my BCM 14.5" middy that I'm going to swap with the Imod stock. So this build will probably evolve a little more
