This was my first AR15 way back when and it's been in constant modification to the point where there are no original parts left, not a single one, five times over. Naturally it isn't quite done and decided to build up a non-NFA lower for the non-NFA upper which I've had around for a while. I'd like to add a thermal but may need to switch out the CODA hand guard for something else as the gas tube to hand guard clearance is too close to mount m-lock pic railing. I've been using this upper for a bit and it's supremely accurate using a 4 pound "duty" trigger with the old lower. Wasn't cheap to build a new lower. I'd say it cost at least a third, if not more, than it would have before 2020. At one point, this was a sub-5lb. rifle naked but the HBAR profile has pushed it up a weight class. With scope, it's about 8 pounds
Lower...
-POF P415 ambidextrous lower in ODG, stripped
-Geissle SSA-E X Lightning Bow trigger
-V-Seven castle nut, qd end plate in naked titanium
-V-Seven mag release in titanium
-Armaspec enhanced takedown pins in naked titanium
-V-seven 2055 buffer tube (I couldn't justify the titanium version)
-B.A.D lightweight ambidextrous safety selector
-Magpul DT and K2+ hardware
-Unrivaled competition dead blow buffer system
-Did some of the paint work myself, added color to the safety indicator engravings as well as to the safety selector pointer.
Upper
-V-Seven GI upper. I purchased a few of these way back when they were relatively cheap and they're awesome. Lighter and more accurate than mil-spec and interference fit. I will be getting it cerakoted in ODG here soon. With the POF lower, there's ZERO slop. Locks up tight yet the pins are still easy to press in and out.
-V-Seven lightweight forward assist (not yet installed)
-X-Caliber 16" HBAR profile barrel, fluted
-Riflespeed gas system
-RCA titanium BCG but using a JP bolt
-CODA carbon hand guard
-A few One Hundred Concepts components, some have yet to go on, along with an Edgar Sherman sling system.
-Magpul polycarbonate ejection port cover
-Precision Reflex M84 charging handle
-Sierra 5 suppressor with a Huxwrx HUB QD conversion and Hux muzzle brake. I'll likely switch to a Radical Defense LS5 in titanium.
Purchased another PA PLxC 1-8 and resisted going with a higher power scope to save a bit of weight. Scalarworks mount.
