Decided I would build my first AR-15 instead of buying one. I want to know everything about my rifle so I can fix any issues that might occur.
So far this is what I've got:
AeroPrecision stripped upper / lower
KNS Lower Parts Kit
Geissele 2 Stage (G2S) Trigger
Magpul Furniture
I'm still trying to decide on a BCG and barrel. If I can find one, I'm wanting a Daniel Defense 16' 1/7 twist barrel and I'm thinking about FailZero EXO BCG.
Anybody have any suggestions or pictures of their own builds?
------ Build Update ------
Alright, I honestly had forgotten I created this thread but wanted to post my updated build and specs list:
- Aero Precision Upper and Lowers
- FailZero BCG
- BCM Chargin Handle
- MagPul MOE K2+ Grip
- MagPul ACS-L Stock
- MagPul Iron Sights
- RET 16" 223 Wylde 1x8 Melonin Barrel
- UTG Pro 15" Free Float Handguard
- Strike Industries KingComp
- Geissele 2 Stage Trigger
- Various small parts
I picked up a Vortex Optics Crossfire II 4-12x44 and the light/laser combo actually came with my Sig P250.
Overall I love this build. I've yet to use the optics yet but I'm heading to the range today after work. It was a great time building it and a lot easier than I was expecting. I recommend buying the MagPul wrench and block to help with the torquing.
