AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[teddy12b]

Latest pew pew:

It's an all BCM rifle. It's as simple as it gets, a 16" mid length CHF upper with iron sights. So far all I've done is zero it and it's machined so well that putting everything together and squeezing shots at 50 yards I was already pretty much zeroed. All I did was fine tune an inch or so from there. Next phase will be heating it up with some mag dumps and training.

What upper is on the pistol. That looks great!

FIFY

It's actually not a chin weld, it's still a cheek weld, just your head is upright rather than kissing the buffer tube.

I've been working on seeing how nifty of a little gun I can put together on the cheap. Only have $700 total in it so far, may get a cheap holosun magnifier and a decent trigger for it, ideally keep it as the best bang for the buck under $1k.

Need to get a better picture, but for now this'll do.

Had concerns about reliability, but so far it runs like a sewing machine.

Been having so much fun with this thing.... Yes it has a reason or five to knock it, but dang it has been fun.

It's a C7A1 upper. I got it from Delta Team Tactical,
though it's not on their sight at the moment...
(not even as a "sold out" item) Go figure.

details on FSB and light/hand stop?

details on FSB and light/hand stop?

Front sight base / gas block is Double Star. Only gripe is that it is lower than the rail of the upper. There are sites that can manage the difference in height but they are limited. I think there is also a spacer that can be used. The hand stop is a BCM KAG that I ground the front off of so it would clear the light/laser. The light is Tacticon Firefly V2. basically a knockoff of knockoffs that people keep rebranding on Amazon. It is cheap. I think it’s super cool and the light seems to work really well for its size. Issue is that it has terrible mounting. I was pressed for space and had a vision and it actually worked. LOL. I plan to modify the light so that it uses two screws in the picatinny mounting.

edit: Just found out double star offers a front sight block that is called “same plane” so it is flush with the upper rail.

YHM makes a BIUS sight for those lower FSB.

They also make a gas block riser.

Honestly I was almost positive it was BCM, but more a joke (keyword) about the state of KeyMod in general. And again,

Speaking of KeyMod, preview of what is coming. I am getting this exact rifle from Virginia next week. Traded a Yugo M70 folding stock for it.

I feel like he can put that patch in there with just the dual tubes alone I have two 14's in the thought my wife would use one with me a lot or a buddy but I really just need to sell them both and upgrade to duals. It just so much more money to get what I want! I'm still too poor to justify it!

 

[danatkins]

Why not run duals still get the benefits of binocular vision and can still unclip one for someone else

Picked up a lower from my LGS yesterday to start my first personal AR build (considering I get paid to build them nearly every day it's not necessarily my first?)

It's definitely a budget build (PSA) but I'm looking forward to getting it together. Goal is for a classically styled, simple, and practical setup.

Parts list:
PSA stripped lower
PSA 10.5 nitride complete upper (A2 gas block/post, and furniture)
PSA LPK
KAK Shockwave 2.0
UTG slim fixed rear sight

Will likely add a Romeo 5 and figure out a simple light mount, possibly the IWC mount, and call it a day. May upgrade the BCG down the road depending on how it runs.

Anyways, it's definitely budget, but should be a nice simple setup.
