Finally finished AR Build

Kelson1066 · Sep 20, 2012

Just finished my first AR Build.
New Frontier Stripped Lower (JoeBobOutfitters)
PSA Premium Classic LBK
DPMS Sportical A3 style Complete Upper (MidwayUSA)
Tasco 2x7x32 Scope

I plan on running iron sights as soon as I can afford some. Looking forward to running a few hundred rounds through it at CRESAP on Sunday assuming I can find a place in Frederick with 223 in stock.

You should be able to find Wolf .223 at Walmart on the cheap. Congrats on the build. If I recognize the rifle at Creasp, I will say hi.

That, but let us also see some targets on how well it makes holes at a distance... :innocent0

We like that...

Range Report

I had to switch to a red dot sight because the scope wasn't compatible with the rifle no matter how much slack I took out it was still 4 inches off the paper.

Rivera,
The New Frontier Armory lower worked well but the fitting was a little snug for the mil spec magazine catch I had trouble getting the magazine to release with my index finger a few times. Once I relaxed the spring in the catch it functioned without any issues.

Using Tula 55gr gave pretty good accuracy but my weapon failed to cycle several times. I found myself pressing the bolt release button after every round. Once I moved to 62 grain in the next magazine the problem corrected itself.

I included the target at 50 yards. The groupings are good my technique was off

Looks like trigger control
