Upper Parts:
Centurion 14.5" mid-length CL CHF barrel
Vltor gas block
Vltor MUR upper receiver
Vltor/BCM Gunfighter CH mod 4
LMT F/A BCG
AAC 51t blackout flash hider pinned
Noveske 13.5 NSR
Troy BUIS
Trijicon TA-33G-H on an ADM mount
Lower Parts:
S&W/Magpul forged lower and lower parts
Geissele G2S
Norgon ambi mag release
BAD-ASS in FDE cerakote
BCM Gunfighter grip mod 1
Noveske QD endplate
Vltor A5 tube and a5h2 buffer
Springco green rifle spring
Magpul STR (it needs at least one piece of Magpul on it, haha. Also one of like 4 stocks that close all the way on an A5... emod, str, acs, acs-l)
Misc:
BFG padded VCAS sling with sewn-in QD
PIG FDT-Alpha gloves
Ammo test:
PMC Bronze .223 FMJBT 55 gr - Cycles, does not lock back on last round. I imagine it'll have FTE problems when the gun gets dirtier.
Wolf .223 HP 55 gr - Does not cycle, FTE all over the place. I'm guessing this is the mid-length 14.5" + A5 setup causing this.
Federal XM193 - Cycles and locks back 100%
Hornady TAP FPD .223 OTM 75 gr - Cycles and locks back 100%, good accuracy
Federal XM556SBCT3 / XM556FBIT3 bonded soft point 62 gr - Cycles and locks back 100%, extremely pleasant to shoot.
To do:
Mount a flash light on the rail section, I actually have a few, but haven't settled on which to use yet.
If you remember a thread I had earlier, Monty offered to pin the gas block since the dimple was mis-aligned. I declined and had a local gunsmith do it since I needed to pin the FH anyway. But great customer service.
I chose the parts to be as light weight as possible while being at least relatively durable and combat-accurate. Comes out to just over 8 lbs unloaded, which is more than I wanted :( . Every part on this besides the ACOG was acquired new (but most second hand) since December 2012. And I think the ACOG is the only part I'm not super happy with right now, I think a 1-4 or 1-6 would have been a better choice although not as light weight.
