15" MI SSG2 on 16" barrel with new Wolf Grey B5 furniture

**Shao** · 01-17-14, 15:15

Here's an old build I had made that's been waiting for some gray furniture so when I had a chance to get ahold of some of the new B5 Systems Wolf Grey stuff, I jumped on it. This same rifle used to wear a black B5 Bravo and UCWRG Grip23, so all that really changed was the color of the stock and grip:

This is one of my "beaters" so nothing special. It is getting a BAD-ASS-ST shortly (waiting in the mail).

Stats:

Upper:
PSA CHF 16" M4 profile upper with MI Gen 2 SS 15" rail (came with 12", which I sold and it paid perfectly for the 15")
Young Chrome M-16 N/M BCG (staked)
BCM Gunfighter Mod 5
Samson fixed front and rear sights (with Trijicon post in front sight)
YHM Steel Gas Block
Generic gas tube
A2 birdcage

Lower:
Seekins Forged lower with Seekins trigger guard, Seekins mag button
Colt/LMT/DD detents pins, bolt catch, mag catch and springs
Geissele SSA
Noveske STS-60 Right Hand Only (soon to be swapped for BAD-ASS-ST with short and short thin levers)
Fortis QD Endplate
Wolff SP buffer spring
BCM buffer tube
B5 Systems Wolf Grey grip and Bravo stock

Good looking gun. I am a fan of the long handguards on short barrels.

Thanks, me too... I'm thinking of swapping it out for the new MI keymod 15"... No barrel nut change... 1 oz. lighter and I can use NSR rail panels on it (I think)...

Looks great! I can't find the Grip 23 in grey. Is that a pre-release version?

This looks perfect. This barrel/handguard configuration is precisely what I plan to do with mine when I get the money. How's the weight/balance on this setup?

Weird, I never got any notifications of any replies to this thread.

I had to go through hell and high water to find one - it's B5 branded but is definitely a Grip 23.

Fantastic... It's one of my best handling/balanced rifles. I've since switched the SSG2 to a SSK 15" and the birdcage with a Wilson Combat Accu-Tac flash hider. It's much nicer now...

Thank you as well... I've done a bit of work to this rifle since posting it. I should take new pics and post them.
