Latest build.

[King Lou]

Well, it just so happens I finished this puppy after about a year of finding the right parts and changing my mind about a million times. Shoots 1 MOA now, although I'm still working on 69 grain handloads, so we'll see.

She's got a Noveske 1/7, CMT bolt and carrier, ADS lower, Vltor upper, Jard single stage, Magpul CTR stock and MIAD grip, a Burris Euro Diamon 1 - 4 (excellent scope, but the red dot doesn't function correctly), and a very, very, optimistic flash suppressor (we can't have cans here in MI yet, but I'm hoping that will change soon).

I painted it myself using Brownells Alumahyde II. I've had good luck with that stuff, if you do it right.

[Otis61]

Wow!!! Very nice weapon. Very nice. I'm impressed.

Welcome Lou! That looks to be a sweet rifle!

[jfowl31]

VERY cool. Its nice to see an AR look "unique" and not just tacticooled up (like mine).

What's the lever by the trigger? Is that some sort of adjustment for the trigger?

[wandering_ronin]

That looks EVIL!!

[Schultz]

Nice! I like that scope, Mind me asking how much it was?

Those are KNS anti rotation pins. THey keep the trigger, and hammer pins from rotating and walking out of their holes. I have them on all of my AR's.

Sweet build. I am sitting on a finished lower trying to decide on the upper. What length barrel is that? Looks like a 20". I like the finish.

[King Lou]

It's actually a 16" barrel, with a mid-length gas system, and the upper is rifle length.

The scope has some terrific glass. The 30 mm tube helps. It runs about 500 bucks. The only problem is the red dot keep going out under recoil. I'm going to send it back to Burris, and if they can't fix it I might go with the same scope by Bushnell. I really like the concept: 1 - 4 power, 30 mm tube, German reticle, and a simple red dot for low light and/or dangerous game quick acquisition.

Oh, and it's got a gas buster latch, MI front BUIS, ARMS low pro rear BUIS, and a Vickers sling. That sling was a great little discovery.

[jfowl31]

Give the red dot a chance for a little longer IMO.

My ATN reflex sight on my AR did the same thing for about 50 rounds or so, then all of a sudden it worked perfectly. Almost like the switch needed to settle in or something.

Not saying it will definitely work in your case at all, but it did in mine, and it would save a return and wait time, not to mention shipping costs if that falls on you. Then the cost of ammo to sight in a new one....

I'll have to look into those pins when/if I ever get a match trigger put on mine.

[RMTactical]

Well done! :rockon:

[snapshot762]

Very nice!

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll do that, and see if it settles down. It's got a lifetime warranty, so I'm in no hurry, and really, besides the red dot, the glass is great.

Oooooh.... Purdy.... Nice color. Never thought of that, but it looks really good.

[45B@cav]

Very unique setup. I like the color.

[Otis61]

Yah! Pretty sweet. I never thought about building an AR till recently.... Yah I know. Me, and about three million other guys.
