Build Thread MY FIRST BUILD!! I’ll show you mine if you show me yours

[Chin]

A2 style with Bull Barrel. I like the weight and consistency with this barrel. A lil Retro mixed with some functionality. Whatcha think??? I will add one of the butt stock mag pouches I've seen in Iraq War movies.

Not bad for your first build!

Probably need a FSB to go with the carry handle...and rotate the rear sling loop 90 degrees clockwise

First side charge build I did.

Nice job on yours looks like it turned out great. How does it shoot?

Just an FYI, that would be an A4 style build, an A2 has a fixed carry handle.

Since you do no have a front sight I assume you plan to use a magnified optic, in that case why not use a free float handguard?

Does it have a front sight? Hard to tell in the pic.

Here's my first build (of 4) using 100% lowers.



Here's my first (on top), and 5th (w/o the buffer and brace installed) of 5 built using 80% lowers.


Can I get a HELL YEAH for them 5D-Tactical jigs?! HELL YEAH!!

 

[Cigarlvr313]

Very nice Stomper!

It most definitely does not have a front sight, is has a LPGB I assume with pic rail on it but that is what one can not see in the photo.

The anticipation is killing me!

Where's the sight? Inquiring minds are eager to know.

Could be a folder sight has block assy.

You'd see a little of it poking up.

Those are awesome @Stomper, is that done with a router? I never saw a completed one before, much nicer than I expected.

Yes, I use a small Makita router that I already had and was coincidently on the compatibility list that 5-D Tactical put out. I'd like to get the listed DeWalt model because it is lighted inside the arbor area making it easier for us >50 year olds to see things up close.... but I make due instead of spending the money on another router... poor me. LOL!

Born less than a month ago - 1000 downrange with a lot more ready to go.
14.5 Faxon Gunner with a pinned brake is performing well.
Red dot only... BUIS or MBUS sights didn't fit the budget

I'm going to find out this weekend!! Every exited. It was a tack driver before. Sub MOA on a bench but It was a heavy rifle before so I'm sure that's something to do with it.

 

[bsa1917hunter]

Well, since you asked nicely. Here's mine:



Not really a "build" though. I started with an upper that was already built by Noveske, then bought a stripped lower to match (both gen 1). I wanted to use as many Noveske parts as I could, but used different parts where it really counted. Here are a few more pics:





It's not my best shooting AR, but it shows promise. With a little more load development and this will be a sub moa shooter for sure.. Here's a more recent picture of this rifle and its brothers:


I show this picture because these rifles are complete and staying this way. They have the same LPK's, match grade 2 stage triggers, butt stocks, hand guards, grips, ambi controls, ambi charging handles, bad levers, etc, etc..

I'm glad that some of you were able to get the best damn 80% jig on the market.

This is what I did for extra light while routing.
