New (to me) AR15

[capbyrd]

I've been wanting an SR556 since they came out but the price tag was a killer to me.  So I've waited and waited for a decent deal to pop up.  I found this one for sale on an international forum for a price I could live with (60% of MSRP) and it had a few magpul goodies as well (CTR stock, MIAD grip, ASAP sling plate, MOE trigger guard). 

It was a bit nerve racking waiting on the fella to ship it but once he did, I was the happiest man alive.  haha.  I picked it up monday. 

I put my Aimpoint CompM2 on it as soon as I got it home.  I've already ordered a PWS enhanced buffer tube, Troy Medieval flash hider and a Magpul ACS stock and then I'm done with this one.  Not going to change anything else.   Well at least for a little while.  I may get the Giessele Super 3 Gun trigger for it at some point. 






I'll take new pics after all the new parts get here.

Lookin' good.  It IS a good feeling when you get a good deal on quality stuff and it comes in.


See all you young padawans, with patience and good timing, fortune will smile upon you too.

Nice gun! Let us know how she runs.

Will do guys.  I picked up one of the XM855 ammo cans from Walmart yesterday.  I won't have time to get to the range until next weekend but I expect to empty the can next Saturday.

Congratulations capbyrd. Hope you get a lifetime of trigger time with your new AR15.

Thanks Ping. 


Here is an updated pic.  Sorry for the crappy quality.






I swapped the flash hider for a Troy Medieval hider.  I put my Aimpoint CompM2 on it.  Swapped the stock for a Magpul ACS and installed the PWS enhanced buffer tube to make sure I don't have problems with carrier tilt.  I also moved the front sight as far forward as I could.

I'm really happy with it for now but there are still a few things that I want to do.  They can wait though.  Geisselle Super 3 gun trigger and Troy ambi bolt release.

Very sweet. Look into an upsize to the charging handle latch, not the supersize, but the midsize is great for racking without using the Chinese Eagle Claw Finger Technique.

I put a Badger Medium on mine, and it was I think $20...from Midway. Not too big, not too small,......it's just right...
