I finally got the parts in this week to finish a flattop rifle I’ve been assembling from parts. There is nothing fancy about this but this version of the AR is meaningful to me because of its use in the early GWOT. A couple of good friends of mine from high school carried it in Iraq, one in the National Guard, one in the Marines. The Marine didn’t come home—I was an ROTC cadet when he was killed, and he was the first friend I lost in combat. So spending my Memorial Day weekend working on a version of the rifle he died with has extra significance to me.
Nothing fancy here, it’s a Aero upper on and Anderson lower, with a BCM BCG. The Anderson lower was available and reasonably priced, eventually I may swap out the trigger for something a little smoother. Ido plan to add an optic at some point, and perhaps a rail and bipod to make an homage to an A4 DMR rifle, but more importantly something to roll a few hogs with.
Range trip will have to a wait a week or two—I’m staying far away from all the public ranges over the holiday weekend. Sorry for the lousy iPhone pictures, but it’s a 20 inch rifle, you get the idea.
