It's all done...my AR15 build...

[dunkel]

Ok, finally got it done. I'm calling it my Designated Marksman Rifle AR15A4.

Started as a Black Friday sale PSA stripped lower. Ordered the 20" A4 kit from PSA (my designation, not theirs) and put it all together myself.

Matech BUIS for rear sight and regular old A2 front sight.

Scope is a Leupold 1-4x Mark AR with Burris PEPR mount.

Midwest Industries MCTAR-03 rail attached to bottom handguard.

Bipod adapter is a Caldwell. Never heard of them, but it was cheap, so I threw it on a recent order from PSA. Looks and feels good, made from aluminum. We'll see...may get a better name in the future.

Bipod is a Harris LM-S 9-13". It's the swivel model with notched legs.

Altogether, it weighs in at about 9.5 pounds empty. I got a 20 round mag for shooting off the bipod, but I think there's plenty of clearance for a 30 rounder.

I've already zeroed the scope off sandbags, but I know the bipod will change my point of impact. I might spring for a free float handguard at some point, but I'm not trying to turn this into a 500 yard tack driver.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

You build guns? I thought your sole purpose on here was to piss SPIKE off! LOL

Looks great by the way!!

Nice build. Did you build it in the bathroom?

Nice build. Did you build it in the bathroom?

haha...um, no...but it had the best light, lol...

And poor SPIKE...can't say I miss that bastard, but he was entertaining for a while, wasn't he?

 

[77REBELBOWTIE]

Is this your first build? I plan to undertake a couple in the near future.

what did the Leupold run you?

I can see the for sale ad now! Custom built On the shi!!er AR

It's the first one I put together myself. I had a Del-Ton AR15 several years ago, but had it put together for me. I'm working on another PSA AR15...going for a carbine, this time, little more lightweight and simple...got all the lower parts and when I get it put together, I'm gonna pick out an upper.

I got the Leupold with the mount combo for $320 shipped. I'll see if I can find the link. I had never heard of the company before, not one of the big names.

Looks like a solid A2...always sweeter when you do them yourself.
