Title: New look for the new AR in the herd
Post by: kilopaparomeo on December 11, 2009, 04:45:37 PM
Posted a couple of weeks ago about a new, lightweight 18" AR build I did

I really wanted a different front sight and a smooth forearm.  I've been in Brazil on business for the last week...flight got into bitter O'Hare at 6 am this morning and when I walked in the house the Big Brown Truck of Happiness had left a package from Midway.

Swapped out parts and now she looks like this

Doesn't look that different from far away, but now I have a nice smooth YHM free float forearm with rails only where I need it.

The front gas block/flip up sight was switched out to a rounded hood style...no reason other than I like the way they look.  Also from YHM

Wow...the AR and AR-derivative herd is getting big.  Funny how buying just one about 7-8 years ago grows to this.

The 3rd one down is based on a DCM match upper built by John Hollinger at White Oak Armament (NRA Highpower champion caliber shooter).  RRA lower with a 2-stage match trigger.  Scary accurate rifle.

I like the new one too...thanks.

Oh, great.  Now we have to get in a competition for big thumpers.  I'll have to move to my battle rifles group for that, though.   :D :P

Just waiting to decide on what kind of flip up front sight to install and we'll be on to a new build from the ground up. Probably in .308 but I love shooting .223 so we'll see.

KPR, BillT. and 1911Junkie, are you guys having an arms race?  And the winner is........

I'll concede to BillT.  He has some seriously fun hardware.

Honestly, I think we should organize regional Downrange shoots and invite all forum members...just think of the ordnance that would come out for that.
