You need to find a different IP. It is listed/advertised as an HBAR rifle on their website so I'm not sure what the problem is. Should be fine in MD.

Just a quick update: Daemon has really been helping me out and I've ordered all the parts! Base rifle with no frills and basic irons was $808.17! I'll add a parts list and pictures once we put it together.

Yes.

But simply the act of saying that, still proves that Colts are the standard all other AR are compared .

I would call them baseline, as in, if you go lower you are cheating your self. If you go higher, you're on the right track.

He helped me with my first AR as well.

Dont let him lube your gun.

Happy with my Windham (got a great deal too) and remember everyone telling me to build don't buy.
I don't have any regrets but def want to build one and if I was more familiar with the right tools I would have did that first

Rifle or Gun ?

OORAH!

Get the Weapon you want within the MD "Law" and you can always change the upper for different calibers as long as it uses a Heavy Barrel in 5.56 if it is an AR type Rifle.

Same for 7.62 AR except the ammo is more costly.

What am I going to do about you? I gave you the last bit of Miltec I had, so I was able to fully embrace the Chadwin lube method of liberal tears, snowflake tears, Hillary supporter butthurt, and KY/Astroglide. :lol2:

Now all I need is a 40 cal and a cheesesteak and I'll be awesome.

If you have to ask, you don't want to know. :innocent0

That bottle was pristine. I think it was a case of them and you have a stash.

You're hooked now. There's no going back. As soon as you start tinkering with your Windham you'll see why people were recommending you build one.

Congrats on the new AR. I bought my first AR15 rifle assembled. The barrel is on a piston conversion upper, the handguard got sold, the receiver is on a 300blk rifle, all the lower parts have been swapped out, the stock went to an AR10, the BCG got dumped, and I'm not sure which one of my upper receivers is from that rifle.

It's addictive

I did have a few bottles, but I gave the last one to you, because it had the NSN and was a collectors item. I figured, you'd empty it out and clean it thoroughly, before putting the Lube of Chad in the bottle, just to mess with people. :lol2:

Alright, finally got the last part in and on, so here's the final parts list and picture. Much appreciation to Daemon, as he helped with everything from the build list to the build itself.

Lower: Spike's Tactical (nothing special, bought it in store)
Lower Receiver: Rock River complete
Trigger: ALG Defense
Upper: Alpha Shooting Sports Forged - Laser Caliber Marked
BCG: DS Arms Complete
Charging Handle: Radian Weapons Raptor Ambi
Barrel: 16" Hbar, 1:7 with melonite finish chambered in 5.56 from Delta Tactical
Gas: Gas Block, Gas Tube
Buffer: Aero Precision
Stock: Magpul CTR + 0.25 Riser (I have a thin face, tried the DIY method and just settled on this because it was more comfortable in the end. Yes I'm aware of the charing handle issue, but I keep mine fully extended anyway)
Muzzle Device: Yankee Hill Phantom
Handguard: Strike Industries 13" Key-Mod
Handstop: BCM KAG for key-mod
Sling + Attachment: endplate is QD from BCM, sling is Magpul para/QD 1-2 point, from attachment point is BCM Key-Mod QD adapter with a mapgul paraclip to QD mount (that actually works really well once you get the angle right)
Optics: Magpul BUIS, Bushnell Trophy TRS-25

Panel kit is the 5 inch from BCM, bolt release is troy industries, riser is UTG 0.83.

Thanks for all the help and info everyone.

Congrats.

Approximately much did you invest in the parts on your list?

Gotta get rid of that A2 grip. Go with Magpul or Hogue. If the TRS-25 craps out get a Sig Romeo 5. I had a TRS-25 on a VEPR 12 and it killed it. Bushnell sent me a brand new one for free, which was awesome.

Future upgrade. The grip came with a kit, so I wasn't too pressed to immediately change it. I'll have to see what I like after some time and shopping.

You can probably find one on Ebay with free shipping. These are my favorite but you may have to cut the little nub on the front off. It's there to fill the gap when using a milspec trigger guard which your rifle doesn't have.
