This past Feb was the first time I had the opportunity to handle and fire an AR
Shortly afterward, I decided to get one and set about doing a lot of reading and research. After a few wrong decisions/purchases, long story short, this is what I have ended up with.

Don't want to bore you with all the parts/pieces, but if you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them..
I am trying out the Scar heat panel on the rail. If I like it, I'll buy more.
A huge THANKS! to rob_s for putting together 'The Chart' it was a big help; and to Pat Rogers for all those AARs that I have read over the past 6 months with what fails/works;

Hello, I am new to this forum, I like the threads and thouught I would post some of my work. This SP01 is an old timer, at least the upper is the lower is DPMS with old grip and stock. I used Brownells pivot pin adaptor to match the upper and lower receivers.

Thanks, its the smoke in the air as well as off the casing that really make it work, and thats something I had no control over. The other obvious factor is the shooter, and it takes someone who knows how to run a gun for me to end up with decent images. A rookie shooter would have ruined the image.
In short, I had little to do with this shot other than being there as a shutter monkey. :)
I've posted this picture elsewhere on the board but thought I would place it here as well. It's a BCM middy build along with the 1911 I carry concealed.

I could retire now but I would be better off if I can push it out about 5 years. I hope to keep up with the tactical painting and gunsmithing work.

I used to HATE training in the rain back when I actually got paid for it. But now I don't mind it so much, especially when it keeps the temp nice and cool.
It's the new BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle (the smaller Mod 04 version). I like it a LOT! It pulls straight back to the rear, instead of veering off to the left side like my PRI did. I highly recommend it!
Went with the Mod 4 latch. Love the flag pic on it. Will be using it for the first time this wknd. at a class.

i pitch a little tent when i get to go shoot in the rain and mud. two weeks ago i saw this thunderstorm from hell comming in, so i went to the range. lol.. worked out nice cause nobody else was there, so i was able to do 200yd dashes up and down the firing line with all my gear on, pullups and pushups in the mud with out looking at me like ima a crack head.

Well, the DD Omega is free-floating while the Troy drop-in is not. The Troy MRF series is great for Free-float if you want to go Troy. Check Grant's G&R Tactical website and see if they have any open-box sale item rails left. I got my free-float Troy MRF rails for about $180, a heck of a deal!:D

Thanks, I will definatly check them out. Turns out the place I put the Daly M4 LE on layaway accidently put a SW MP 15a away, they are going to see if they can get another DM4 LE for me. If not its no biggie the MP 15A has the better Troy sights and is a little cheaper, the barrel is only a 1x9 and it has a carbine buffer, but I am only planing on shooting paper and the buffer is an easy fix.

Thanks, I was trying something new. The second pic is probably the best pic out of all 200+ I took yesterday, and it was an accident. I think I'm finally beginning to figure out this lighting thing.
Yes, it's my BCM 11.5" upper with URX Rail and Triple Tap. I got rid of the LWRC upper about 4-5 months ago, as it just was NOT for me. But I had already registered the lower as an SBR, so I'll be keeping it forever.:)

Ok i'll probably get bashed for this because I'm sure i need to go to a photo forum for these questions but here it goes. Stickman and Trust, what lens are you guys using to get these photos. I have a Canon 30D w/ a 28-135, but can't seem to get the close ups or angles that you guys are getting and still get the whole gun in the picture.

I realize the images are a little blurry. I took the camera off of automatic and was experimenting with opening the aperture so as not to have to use the flash. I did not hold it steady enough, obviously. Maybe I should use a tripod next time. :o

Ok i'll probably get bashed for this because I'm sure i need to go to a photo forum for these questions but here it goes. Stickman and Trust, what lens are you guys using to get these photos. I have a Canon 30D w/ a 28-135, but can't seem to get the close ups or angles that you guys are getting and still get the whole gun in the picture.
With a 30D and 28-135 lens, I could duplicate every photo you have seen from me. Much of my older work was shot with a 20D and Tamron 28-70 (and I had no shortage of published with using that combination). Your question is kind of broad, it sounds like you need to play around a little more with layout and camera angles. Then again, so do I. :)

Thanks. I'll definitely consider that.
The Eotech is a tad too far forward. I will move it back a few notches. I placed it there so there was plenty of room for the magnifier, but it can still stand to move back a bit. I also don't like the battery portion of the optic being so close to the heat of the barrel. I don't know if that can actually DO anything, but it sure doesn't hurt to have the optic backed up a bit.

The very first AR15's had bakelite pistol grips, carbon fiber handguards and buttstocks. I gave the pistol grip a faux bakelite finish, and the buttstock is a USGI pre-A1 variation. The upper, lower and charging handle are NODAK mfg, the barrel and other upper parts are USGI. I still need to pick up a chrome BCG from young mfg. It's like a spacegun. Orion arms did an even better looking one with a top charging handle not too long ago, but it had a lot more custom work done to it and parts sourced.
Here's an original.

I can't imagine just how hot that pencil-thin barrel must have gotten under a sustained high rate of fire!
Also, and I might just come off sounding like a jackass here, was carbon fiber available back when that AR-15 was developed? I thought that carbon fiber was "invented" just a decade or so ago... although I actually have no idea, I'm just assuming here. I would've thought the buttstock and handguard were comprised of fiber glass or some form(s) of plastic.

No prob, and I'm pretty sure you're right, I think it was fiberglass.
Lots of people use lightweights without issue, they balance better. I read documents relating to the A1 to A2 switchover that indicated people generally scored better with A1's. It was chalked up to the A1 sight post, but my guess is the weight difference helped too.
This one was just built for anti-aluminum can duty.

Oh no doubt. I love my super light KAC SR-15 E3! I shoot very well with it, I just have to wear gloves if I'm burning through ammo doing some training because the thinner barrel profile really heats the URX II handguard up! But the much lighter weight of that smaller barrel is worth the extra heat in my opinion, as it allows me to run the SR-15 almost as easily as one of my SBRs in a carbine class, because it weighs just 3 ounces more than my 11.5" SBR that's setup in the same configuration.

What is wrong with your Troy that makes you want to change it?
It wobbles to much for my likings and I just wanted a free float.

c0b2a how do you like the RBAV eclipse?
I like it, good amount of MOLLE real estate, light, very comfortable, the inner cumber bun system keeps it secure without the whole vest rubbing up against the body making you sweat like crazy. All in all a good rig.

It's just a plain N4 middy. I think most people on this site know how it looks like ;)

Thanks for the review. I'd love to spend a day at bragg shooting, looks like fun.

Good shooting with you, Ross. Damn long drive up from CA to Portland, but then again we have real guns up here :p
So yeah, that range looked familiar:

Titleist looks like that M&P must be hard to get to in that position. Looks very awkward with how high up and behind your arm it sits in the Raven holster. Maybe you have double jointed arms or something. AR looks great as always though.:cool:
Yes I can. The belt rode up a little bit when I dropped prone, but it normally sits like this:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2555/4000006388_a5f55a8260_b.jpg
But I could still access if I had to. It's a temporary belt (eagle MLCS belt), till my ICE Battle Belt V3 adjustable belt arrives, which will be a LOT better.

That's cool, as long as it works for you. Is there any particular reason for going with that over a drop leg 6004 style? IMO that would make your draw much more natural, and if you ever decided to run a plate carrier or chest rig your draw would be unimpeded.
On a side note I HATE YOU! I get more and more jealous of that SBR every time I see it. One day... one day.
Simple answer is that I'm used to drawing from my belt, and specifically Safariland doesn't make a holster for the M&P Pro + X300. I occasionally run plates using an RRV or RBAV and as long as I keep my right side slick (no pouches) and don't block my holster there's no problem with my draws. Right now I'm just waiting for that ICE belt, which should make my belt kit damn near perfect.
Sorry for inspiring hate! :D
Get up here to Oregon and you can shoot it!

That'd be a bit of a drive from SoCal. But the offer is tempting.
And Safariland does make that stuff for that combo, I have one for my M&P and x300. They can do pretty much any combination you want by special order. Give them a call and they will hook you up. Turn around time pretty damn good as well.
Thats my 6005 for my M&P and X300

Thanks, I just prefer it on my belt since it's more natural for me and how I draw. But thanks for the information.
hossb7 came all the way up from CA, so come on up next summer. Anyways, drop me a PM if you're ever up this way.
Okay, sorry for the side trip here, back on track. :cool:

Yes, they are both Addax uppers. The AR with the CTR is a short-stroke upper, the AR with the EMOD is the newer long-stroke upper.
Shot some photos yesterday and thought this one came out well.

Which M&P are you running? 9mm? .45? .40?:)

Titleist, dig the rifle setup, looks good. I too prefer to draw my pistol from the waist, consistant location even when squating or kneeling.

How do you attach the Raven Holster to the MOLLE belt?
I took the 1.75" kydex belt loops and just flattened them out with a heat gun, that gives JUST enough length to them to fit through the required molle.
How secure is it and how hard is it to get on and off?
Completely secure. And on and off just requires the screw driver.
Cool. Thanks for the info.
My first "floating gun" picture. Whaddya think?

if i had a sopmod stock or acr it might balance better, but as it is its not bad. I had a M&P15T before and this DD setup feels much lighter than the troy 10" rail and MUCH slimmer
