AR-15 Show and Tell: Second Edition

[jwamplerusa]

I like them a lot. They were the complete, mil-spec style lowers. The stock mil-spec trigger group isn't great, so I tossed an ALG ACT in one, which is a major improvement.

Precision Arms in Colombia City always seems to keep a couple complete KP15 lowers in stock, and they may be getting some of the version with KE's improved trigger, which I'd like to try on my WWSD inspired build.

I have two SLT-1 triggers and really like them. Like them so much another is on the way...

I'll have to get one, have started acquiring parts for another lightweight build...

Just finished up this 16" Dissipator build.
I'm gonna leave this one old school cool. I am thinking of putting on a Brownell's Retro 4x to complete the look.

Knights/Noveske build

 

[Dean C.]

Wanted to grab a decent picture now that it's all set up , Magpul CTR, Surefire Scout Light and Warcomp, Trijicon Accupower 1-8 and 45° offset RMR, ELF Match Trigger and a G Super Charging Handle. Dropped in a Fail Zero Nickle Boron Bolt just to match the bolt carrier group (the stock nitride version was fine I am just OCD)

 

[40calPUNISHER]

Aero anodized od green. The buttstock and grip started out fde but got a rit dye bath. I was going for the B5 system coyote brown.

 

[d.kaufman]

Still waiting on buffer system and optic, but almost ready

Nice LWRCI!

I finished building a M16 A4 "incorrect" clone.
I'm missing a few parts, but it's close.

I put it on a KE Arms KP15 lower that I had sitting around. I do have a KAC broomhandle in the mail right now. I am also looking for rear iron site suggestions, and flashlight suggestions.

The M16A4 rear iron sight would be either a MaTech 200-600m BUIS (U.S. Army) or a KAC Micro 200-600m (USMC). The KAC isn't quite as bulky. Both fold down and flip up and can be easily positioned at the rear of the rail. They're extremely robust. You would have to move your optic forward some, closer to the end of the rail. One caution about the MaTech . . . don't over torque the rail mounting screw; be mindful of its diameter. I have one of each on a pair of AR-15 16" mid-length uppers. Both should be able to co-witness with a properly mounted optic -- they co-witness just fine with my 30mm Romeo7s.

MaTech BUIS:


KAC Micro:

A pair of folding AR-15s with 16" mid-length uppers and bayonets. One has an M9 bayonet, MaTech BUIS, M2 PMAG, and Magpul stock. Folding mechanism is the Gen 3 LAW Tactical. The other has an OKC3S bayonet, KAC Micro 200-600m, Series 2 Hexmag, and Aero Precision M4 stock. Folding mechanism is integral to the 17 Design Lower, IMO the next best mechanism to the LAW Tactical but out of production. Both have 30mm Romeo 7 red dots. I built the lowers starting with 17 Design stripped receivers (one folding and the other non-folding), and Aero Precision lower kits, except for the triggers, which are Geissele two-stage. Bolt carrier groups in both have DLC finish. Slings are the classic M16A1 style with quick adjustment. They rattle and we had to tape them; replaced about the time the A2 rolled out with one that only has buckles and doesn't adjust length as easily.

Smith Enterprise Vortex flash hiders are en route to replace the A2 bird cages.

Well . . . it was a great deal . . . I am only a man, could not pass it up.

Centurion Arms upper and lower, 6.5 Grendel, 13.9" Craddock barrel with Griffin muzzle device, Sharp BSG, AA bolt, uncertain about trigger, it is gamer trigger but very nice, A5 buffer.

 

[pitbulld45]

Dont remember the upper but an Anderson lower with a brace.

I used to call it the Dragon because of the compensator but I guess now I will call it the outlaw lol

 

[pitbulld45]

I guess this can go here, range day with my Ar

From left to right - BCM Frankenstein build with T2 and Modlite PLH-v2, KAC SR-15 build with Mk 6 and Modlite OKW, LMT MARS-H with Mk5 and TBAC bipod. Hit me up for more details.

 

[Lodge]

Got my new build done this evening, going to try and get some good shots of it tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a first look at some detail...

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The 6.5 Grendel after a few tweaks--new ALG-ACT trigger, new safety (45 safeties are of the Devil), new trigger guard, rail for bipod, iron sights just in case, sling mount and bunch of new ASC 15 rounders.

I really like that and love the fact the Monty is local. Always nice to support an Indiana company. I’m also against 45* safeties for several reasons but did fall in love with the 50* Badger selector. It might be worth checking out if you haven’t already.
