    "Completed" my rebuild

    Built my first AR-15 right before the Obama election sales took off and built it on a budget with what I could find at time. Now that I wanted to upgrade it I was hesitant because of the paint and I wanted to go with the black/fde theme. Instead of selling it and starting over I completely disassembled it, stripped the paint, and started over. The paint came off pretty well but I will probably change at least the upper sometime anyways and that is the part that looks most gray.

    The parts I reused were the LAR Grizzly Lower, a few parts from a RRA LPK, RRA M4 Upper w/16in barrel, and EOTech 511.

    New parts:

    Yankee Hill Machine Low Profile Gas Block, short version
    Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard
    Troy/VTAC BattleRail Alpha - 13"
    Troy Modular Combat Grip
    Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced Trigger SSA-E
    Magpul ACS Stock
    Magpul MIAD Grip
    Magpul B.A.D. Lever

    Have a Surefire light and Gear Sector mount in the mail, only other things I plan on changing in the near future are some back up sights (probably Troy) and replace the EOTech with an Aimpoint. Now for what you really want to see...
