From planning..to parts accumulation...to build..to finally getting her first range time tomorrow..may I introduce The Precious.
This was a long process to get EXACTLY the parts I wanted & the $$$ to do so.
I love rifles...long barrels just are my thing. Debated caliber...and went with 5.56. THEN...it was dirt cheap, and all the Match ammo was readily available & affordable..and 5.56 has come a long way in past few years. So- sat down over time, studied intensely here & all over, asked several experts online questions..ect ect.
So..without further ado- the parts list:
Aero Precision M4E1 Upper/Lower
Velocity 3lb Flat trigger {Superb}
Criterion 20" S.S. Nitrided HYBRID 1/8 WYLDE Barrel
Magpul SPR Stock & MOE Grip
Young MFG NM BCG with New, Headspaced BCM Bolt w/ OCKS Screws Added
Fortis Hammer CH
Black River Tactical MarkBlue Rifle Length Gas Tube
Yankee Hill Phantom Flash Suppressor
CMT 17" M-Lok Rail
Aero Precision Front/Rear Sights
Magpul Bipod
Scope: Nikon Black FX1000 4-16X50 MRAD Illuminated reticle
Mount: Midwest Industries 30mm Non QD
Rifle Bag: Savior Tactical Double Long Rifle bag 46"
Had the rifle assembled at Bullet & Barrel in Huntsville Al to some of my specs.
Ammo: Of course, this ammo was bought months & years before the current situation..most of it is unobtanium/unaffordable even if found.
Black Hills 69 & 77 OTM 5.56
IMI 69 Sierra Mk BTHP 5.56
IMI 77 OTM LR Mod 1 5.56
Federal .223 77 Sierra MK BTHP
Winchester .223 62 OT in Purple Box
Australian Outback .223 69 Sierra Mk BTHP
MEN 55 M193 5.56
So- tomorrow is a day Ive waited on for several years. the rifle was assembled in early March- but due to my insane work schedule sat in safe until now. Scope is mounted & ready to go.
Ill be working with it & two more AR's tomorrow, as well as a few handguns. Im SO GLAD I took my own advice to buy, buy, BUY over the last 3-4 years.
Ill post results when I can.
Please, ask about or critique my build, any thoughts or ideas or suggestions.
