Starting a Rainier SPR [Pretty Much Done]
Well, while waiting for my Form 1, I decided to start a SPR build. I have a middy BCM and the Form 1 is for a Noveske SBR build, so I decided to go with Rainier Arms for this build. I have read good reviews of their service and products, so here's hoping it all goes well.
So far, I have:
- Rainier Arms Forged A4 Upper
- Rainier Arms Match .223 Wylde Barrel - 18" SPR
- VLTOR Gas Block
- Rifle Length Gas Tube
- Battle Comp
- Standard Barrel Nut
About $555.00 spent so far. I'm planning on using a 15" Troy rail as well as their BUIS. Not sure on optic, might go with a Leupold Mark AR of some flavor. Gonna use a Rainier lower and plan on running a Geissele SSA trigger and Magpul UBR. My BCM has the SSA and UBR, and my Noveske lower (Form 1) also has the same installed, so the commonality seems like a good idea.
The barrel is installed but the gas block is crazy tight, so the upper is in the freezer right now.
Any feedback is appreciated, especially on the optic. Most likely wont be shooting past 300 yards. Also, not sure if I'm going to install the Battle Comp. I would like to run a suppressor at some point. I was thinking of having BattleComp modify it with a 51T mount, which I understand is a service they will start offering soon.
