I decided to build a 2nd AR with a shorter barrel and aim to be as light as possible w/o going for an SBR (can't own one in CA). This will be the rifle I'll take to carbine classes.

I finally found a Geissele MK4 handguard which should arrive next week then assemble it :D

Geissele MK4 arrived so next post will be the rifle assembled. My 13.5" NSR is roughly 2oz lighter than the Mk4 but the MK4 rail is very nice nonetheless.

And it's done! It's .5 lbs lighter than my 16" Noveske rifle with NSR hand guard.

That's pretty darn light. My BCM has a similar configuration 14.5" lightweight barrel, CTR, except Centurion C4 rails and EOTech XPS. It comes in at over 7 lbs. :(

Great carbine you have there advan! As a fellow member from CA, I was wondering your plan/method for (I'm assuming this is a bullet buttoned) mag changes during a carbine course. UBBT? Stub on gloves? Or just out of state?


And what light and sling do you have planned for that beauty? :smile:

I tried the finger stub from Riflegear but I didn't really like it. I may have to make a glove with a stub.

It has SF M300B with a pressure switch. VCAS for a sling.


How do you take pictures like that?

white seamless paper, 2 flashes (L & R) and a point and shoot camera.

Very much so with the limited time shooting it at the range to zero. I plan on running it in a carbine class next month.
