View Full Version : Number 2
So begins another AR-15 build. This one will be the tactical build though. After polishing the trigger parts I decided to throw in a Magpul enhanced trigger guard. I am still deciding on a few other parts like the stock, sights, rails and so on. More to come as the project goes on.

Looks like Mattel
Mattel is better made. LOL!!
After I was getting ready to leave last night I found out an AR upper came in. So I decided to stay a little longer and work on the build, just so it started to look more like a real gun. Went with a 16" M4 style upper. Added on the ambidextrous sling adapter, 7" Troy free floating rail, Yankee Hill rear flip and Front flip with built in gas block and A Troy Medieval Muzzle Brake. Had to get a standard collapsible stock on there so I could work on the rest of the build. I am waiting on the Magpul CTR stocks to come in.

very nice, Troy parts will hurt your feelings when you get to the register but they sure are nice
Sweet! That Troy brake is wicked looking. :)
Yeah, I liked the brake as soon as I saw it. Plus you don't see too many people getting them. If you are going to put one on make sure you get a new crush washer. With an old one you will never get it to line up properly.
Very nice. Who made the upper?
Rocl River of course. There were some there at the store for a while from what I was told. They were with the five seven uppers.

i have one .223 and one 9mm colt ar... i would like more but i never shoot my .223.... pistol caliber is so much easier to shoot and much cheaper... Continuing with mt .22 movement i have thought about a dedicated .22 AR build
Cris, guess what we unpacked tonight?!!! 'cept it's for a milspec tube, but we can change yours out as we got them in stock as well.
No milspec, I am waiting on the commercial versions. No sense in changing it out two more times. She is safe right now.
IMHO, milspec is more desirable for future possible options. But it's your #2. ;)
BTW, I'll be in Miami all day today. Let Rich and Nicky know not to expect me today.

Hey there gramps! You're still young at heart!:raspberry: :bolt:
Please elaborate Phil, what kind of options?
Most cutting edge buttstocks for the AR carbine platform are designed to fit the milspec carbine buffer tube first due to the fact that all military issue AR's are all milspec. Should there ever be a commercial ban on "assault weapons", you will quickly find all stuff conforming to milspec if you could ever get you hands on it in the future.
LOOKS BAD ASS...
yo Cris... did you win the lotto or something? those look like some $$$$ parts

I'm telling you! I think it's just the perks of working at a gunshot really. I do beleive he doesn't accept cash only works for guns, parts, etc. That's why I told him before I could use a forth job. I could be mistaken, but I does believe that is his MO.:(

As long as the stock comes with the other buffer I may have to go that route. I will speak to Rich tonight since I will probably go into do class tonight.

LOL, yeah there is a lot of money sitting there I was going to be gentle but when I am in the shop my minds loses control.

There are perks of working in the shop but no matter which way you look at it I am dishing out quite a bit of dough. Need more classes, need more classes...gotta make up for this one, cause this one is taking a big bite out of my toy fundage.

LMAO, been there...done that....again and again and again......lol
stock put on tonight after class.
Sweet Cris! Now when are we going to the range? lol
I am already planning on going in the next few weekends. Lino popped in yesterday saying they were going Saturday but I have to work Saturday morn. Maybe next week as I still have to dial in the other AR-15 also since I put that new scope on.
By the way Phil, thanks again for your input and help.

The sexy biatch is about to be done. Hopefully the refinisher has her done as promised being tomorrow. I have seen a preview and I am very happy with it so far.

Are you doing some special color or something?
Oh its special all right. Just wait and see what wack job I had done. Then you will confirm for sure that I am a screwball.

No Taurus logo, but your second statement is headed in the right direction. Just not an AR-15.
I expect you are making a road trip to Hialeah today, or maybe you are en-route already. Can't wait to see it.
:)
No, they told me Friday. So i have to make it convenient to see a customer in that area. If not I will have to wait till next week to pick it up.

Yep, put the Nikon to the side for the 10/22 if Outdoor World ever gets them in.
