Advise/critique my first AR build

Blu Falcon · Nov 16, 2014

I'd invest in a quality set of BUIS and a torch from a reputable manufacturer (Surefire, Inforce, etc.) Never was a fan of that stock. Looks like a snag hazard nightmare if you intend to ever use it in real world applications. Otherwise I think it's nice looking set-up. Nice work on your first build.

Picked up a red dot, went with the Vortex Strikefire II, should do the trick. Will be able to take it to work tomorrow and shoot it at lunch time.

That's a nice looking rifle. Congrats. Let us know how much fun you have shooting it.

I thought the same thing regarding snags but saw a few videos on YT that tested the theory and didn't get snagged. I know, not real life SHTF type situation. Regardless, I plan to add a cobra braid across the open section which I think will look cool and eliminate the snag factor.

I certainly will. It's sitting here next to me at work waiting for a break in the rain :party29:

A place where you can have your rifle with you for range time during lunch? Are you guys hiring?

It's a good perk. A few acres back off the rd in AACo near Arundel Mills. The police only show up once in a while when some nosey neighbor in the adjacent industrial park becomes "concerned". The LEO's are always cool about it and usually hang out for a bit.

Was able to run about 80 rounds through the new rifle yesterday afternoon and it ran great. No misfires and decent grouping at 100 yds. Need to zero in the red dot and call it done.

Hope there aren't too many people in the lunchroom when target practice starts.
