New upper I've been working on (still in progress)

[fivepointoh]

Cross posting from another board but figure I'd throw this up here.






Okay guys...after much debate and talking to some ppl to try and help me decide this is what I have went w/ so far.

The specs as is are:

14.5" barrel 1/9 (unknown make....although I bought it new and got it dirt cheap )
Phantom 5C2
DD 12.0
TD VFG
COLT BCG
(I borrowed the charging handle from my other upper )

The 5C2 still needs perm. attached and the rail is not torqued properly right now.

I shaved down the FSB (not pictured under the rail as I haven't put it back on yet)



The rest of the plans are as follows

GRSC 1-4 Optic
TD rail covers
Charging handle
Troy front and rear BUIS
DD QD Swivel for sling
Vickers Coyote sling
No plans for a light as this will not be my bump in the night weapon.

I think I'm gonna FDE this whole upper and then get a Magpul lower.

For the lower plans....

FDE the lower but leave the Magpul logo black.
Either a UBR or SOPMOD (haven't decided yet) stock
And yes I'm gonna try the MIAD grip. I love the G27 but I have yet to try the MIAD.


Anyways...here are the pics so far. The upper will be getting sent off soon to get the 5C2 perm. attached.

I also still need to paint the gas block (it's very ugly right now).

BTW My fiance is napping right now so I had to take these pics in the kitchen. I have a studio apt. for the time being so I can't exactly be noisy right now. Therefore sorry for the quality of the pics. I just couldn't resist taking some though.

Hey! I know where that DD came from!

Not a bad looking build so far.

[fivepointoh]

Thanks.

You know 10gunner? (His name on TOS)....

I think I got it for a hell of a price

[SuicideHz]

No I don't know him but I saw you snatch it up outta that thread. I've been trolling through there looking for used rails myself...

[fivepointoh]

Now I just need to find a used SPR-E mount....

That and a used SOPMOD stock....

Amongst other things

[SuicideHz]

You need 30mm? I have one with a Millett T scope I am trying to sell...

[fivepointoh]

Welllllll....I don't need the T-Scope but if it's an SPR-E mount sized for 30mm optics lemme know.

Wasn't planning on purchasing it this quick but if the price is right I might swing for it now.

Looks real good but you know that upper is screaming for your KX3 ... dont let the 'Pig' down.

Thanks. I sold the KX3....couldn't bring myself to put it on. After playing w/ the KX3 on a 14.5" it was wayyyyyy too front heavy. My original plan was to cut it down to 13.7 and throw on the KX3....however it still wouldn't have made much of a difference IMO. Also on a 14.5 a KX3 really isn't needed. W/ that said a KX3 is still in my goals along w/ a 10.5" SBR once I move out of the People's Republik of Illinoisistan.

Hey, don't go telling people they don't need KX3s on 14.5" and larger guns. I think I saw one on an 18" not too long ago...
