Re: My first AR build

ONe other thing that id eventually do is get a scope (or magnifier) on it... seeing as it should make a nice distance rig with the quality barrel and the prs stock has always seemed to be more of a long range stock to me at least. itd be sweet to have the eotech for close n be able to swap a scope on for other stuff... till you make your second one.

Some other small things that may eventually be nice to add are a better trigger, tac latch (bcm ch are nice), kns pins (reduce wear, look nice, eliminate some slop in trigger). I still have to do some of these to my long-range build. I do wish i had the prs stock but i did an a1 stock with some shot inserted in trapdoor to balance the gun out.

ONce again, beautiful gun and great job!
 
Re: My first AR build

Thanks for support and input. I already have a scope to go on this build, just need to get rings. I directed some money to my bolt gun. Rem 700 sps tactical in .308. I have two other lowers that are waiting on my wallet for uppers and stocks. I was thinking of building a CQB stick. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks again.
