My AR Build

[RstyShcklfrd]

Place an order for that upper with the 13" troy alpha rail + Magpul MS3 sling + Magpul sling attachment.

Just need a bcg, ch, and buis.

Question: if I buy a set of fixed Troy or DD sights, would they get in the way of a 1-4 scope(Burris MTAC for example)?

With a fixed rear sight, you won't be able to get the scope set to the proper eye relief...and why in the heck would you want to have to look thru a rear sight and into your scope anyway?

Good point. Guess I'm saving my pennies for some flip up sights then.

 

[Texan2]

So what parts do you actually already have?

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Parts actually in my hands? Just the stripped lower. Lower build kit should be here Monday according to UPS. Then waiting for the upper to ship. All I need to buy is a bcg, charging handleand then sights.

 

[Texan2]

Time to get that thing slinging some lead.

 

[RstyShcklfrd]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I really didn't think this would get built as fast as it is, but a lady in the financial aid office was my saving grace!

It hurt my soul, but I went ahead and bought 300 rounds of the value-packs of .223 from Walmart at 34.97/box. Going to try and find some Tulammo and really put a beating on it.

I really love my Troy flip up BUIS...they are not some cheap plastic ones.

Congrats on your build! I just finished mine not to long ago. But If I were you (and I'm not) I would look at federal/ lake city's XM855. It's a little more expensive but IMHO it's a better bet than tulammo.

[RstyShcklfrd]

I have no doubt in my mind XM855 is better ammo. It's just my own personal tradition with my guns that I shoot 200 brass first, and then some of the dirtiest ammo I can find. Unfortunately, no Walmart in my area has .223 Tulammo.

I'll be able to buy a BCM in the future. They're not going anywhere. However, free shipping and this deal might. I'm almost 100% I'm ordering this tonight. I've never heard any bad things about PSA, and in fact I've shot my buddy's PSA and loved it.

PSA 16'' Hammer-forged CMV Mid-length LP Stripped Railed Upper - No BCG/CH - Complete Uppers - AR-15

Those are better than BCM IMO.

 

[shooterfpga]

LOL.

Uh oh.

I've no qualms about PSA. The more I read about them, the more comfortable I feel with my purchase.

I got a new JSE upper today...less than $400 and runs like a champ.

dont worry about it ;-) i think i did tell you to go ahead and jump on it and that it was better than most of the other cheaper (price) vendors. they have good customer service too. dont sweat it.

May I ask what brand? Thanks in advance.

Federal 55gr. I don't know a whole lot about .223/5.56 ammo yet, so I can't tell you anything more specific than that. There's no identifiable words/symbols/etc on the box other than that.

 

[shooterfpga]

i think the valupaks are remington? id it a green box that says umc?
