Coming back around to wrap up the completed build to a thread I started asking for advice on aforementioned rifle. I've shot and own a few solid quality ARs but was looking to build a truly dependable rifle and set it up right from the start.
I have a solid exposure with M4 carbines and through my other rifles have developed preferences I used to form this build. That coupled with stellar advice from the forums and a lot of research culminated into what I think is an ideal rifle for me. Feedback always encouraged.
Didn't have an unlimited budget but didn't want to skimp on quality at any point. Didn't go with the absolute highest cost version of each part but think for the mlst part everything is well vetted.
Without further ado, here is the breakdown.
BCM 14.5 midlength upper with pinned comp mod 1
BCM QRF 12 handguard
Geissele BCG
Aero lower
Aero LPK
Centurion arms AST
Radian talon safety
Radian raptor charging handle
BCM mod 3 grip
Magpul fixed carbine stock
Geissele maritime bolt catch
BCM receiver extension and QD end plate
Sprinco blue
H1 buffer
Optics/accessories
Eotech EXPS 3 and G33 magnifier (jury still out on magnifier but so far liking it)
Daniel defense fixed front sight
Magpul mbus pro rear
Modlite PLHV2 18650 with a modbutton light
Haley strategic thorntail scout mount
Arisaka finger stop
Ferro concepts slingster
Certain aspects like the muzzle device and fixed stock were compromises that unfortunately had to be made due to state compliance but I don't think they detract too much.
Only 200 rounds through it so far but the buffer combo has the upper gassed perfectly and everything is running smoothly so far.
