Standard colt LPK and FCG
Geissele maritime bolt catch
Vltor a5 with green spring and a5h0 buffer
Vltor emod buttstock

Runs like an absolute champ, about 1200 rounds down the tube with zero malfunctions shooting m855 and m193. Using 77 gr. Match loads and good glass, its printing about .8 moa at 100, with RDS and standard loads i get about 1.5 moa. Couldn't be happier with this build. Now time to sign up for more classes and run the piss out of it.

Sub moa is with magnified optic and match ammo, with rds it shoots 1.5, 2 moa. For the trigger, its had a LOT of rounds on it so its very very crisp.

Thank you for not claiming it shoots tiny groups with generic ammo. In the big scheme of things, you didn't bother to post a picture and just geeked us with boring specs. Post a pic so we can see what she looks like !!!! Especially because I want to see what this build looks like without a rail or handguard....

ETA- Just giving you a hard time about the specs, but seriously, post a pic!!

I'll try and get a pic posted tonight, totally forgot to add what handguard I was using! Running a midwest nightfighter 13.5. Occasionally mount an MFAL for nvg shooting so I went with the midwest nightfighter cause it gave a good balance of lightweight and rigidity for when I do mount a laser. Just ordered my Razor 1-6 so now just waiting for that to come in to round it out.

NOT MY PIC, JUST HELPING SOMEONE OUT


danieljmaunder- I cropped your feet out, stuck your user name on it, and rehosted it on my Tumblr slice of heaven. Its easy to do posting off them, or at least it is for me. If you DO NOT want it done the way that I did, or you dislike me rehosting it for you, I will of course delete it. I am very aware that you own the copyright to your image.

Looks like a nice clean rifle! Depending on your intended purpose I'd only add a sling and a light. How do you like the MI handguard?

I have a PLHv2 and a vtac sling on the way to finish it off, for the handguard I'm really happy with it. Its the nightfighter handguard, and its pretty dang ridgid. I loaded it up with a bipod and did some barricade shooting and didn't notice any major difference with the laser mounted. If you're not running a laser on your rifle 100% of the time ai think its a really really good handguard. Ridgid enough to hold zero with the laser, but very light and slim. That was the main reason I went with it over running a pic rail like an RIS ii or something similar.

Looks like a good general duty carbine!

That was the idea behind it, I don't kick doors in for a living so more of a general purpose, patrol rifle suits my needs very well.

Now that you've finally "finished" it, this would be an excellent time to get into night vision and start all over again.:laugh:

Been in that rabbit hole for a few years now lol. Thats why I have the rifle set up the way it is, I can mount an MFAL easily without re configuring the rifle, have a pvs 14, now I'm going down the thermal rabbit hole����
