I've been lurking and reading for a while so I figured I'd throw up my build I just finished yesterday. I've got a few AR's but wanted a 3 gun style rifle so I've been collecting parts over the last several months. I didn't use the most expensive parts but I used what I thought made sense, would be reliable, and gave good bang for the buck. I know some here don't like the Spike's roll mark, but, I don't mind them and this build started because I got the upper and lower for what I would have paid for an Aero. I'm going to zero it at the range tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing how it shoots. Anyway, here's the build.
UPPER
Spike's Tactical upper
Ballistic Advantage 16" Stainless Steel fluted barrel w/ .223 Wylde chamber, 1:8 twist, mid-length gas
Aero Precision gas block
Strike Industries J Comp Gen 2 muzzle device
Spike's nitrided gas tube
Brownell's nitrided full auto BCG
Radian Raptor LT charging handle
SMOS 15" full float M-Lok handguard
Magpul M-Lok AFG foregrip
Warne Tactical X-Skel optic mount
Vortex StrikeEagle 1-8
LOWER
Spike's Tactical Crusader lower
LaRue MBT 2S trigger
JP Enterprises silent captured buffer spring
Spike's buffer tube
Spike's light weight castle nut
Spike's end plate
B5 SOPMOD stock
Magpul grip
KNS anti-walk pins
Phase 5 EBR V2 lever/bolt catch/release
Seekins Precision ambi-selector
Strike Industries ultralight takedown and pivot pins
Strike Industries mag release
cheap LPK (for springs and detents)
Blue Force Gear sling
All in all I'm happy with it. I'm looking forward to getting some ammo through it and then shooting some practical rifle comps with it. It'll probably do duty as a coyote/varmint gun as well.
