The AR Build*UPDATE*

[BamaBrad]

Ok, my first build. My paw-in-law and I wanted to build an AR together that was alike. This one is mine. The last thing is the BCG.
Spikes Lower
BCM Upper
BCM Enhanced LPK
BCM Buffer Kit W/H2 Buffer
Rainer Arms Ultramatch Mod2 20” 223 Wylde BBL
Aero Precision Gen 2 Enhanced Handguard
Strike Industries Charging Handle
May be missing something.
Two things, I don’t think I have my barrel seated all the way, will remove my handguard and check, the other thing is I don’t know if I “crushed” the crush washer.

Did you torque the barrel nut to whatever the manufacturer spec’ed?

Unless some debris or material is in the way, the barrel should be seated. I’d be happy to look at it for you.

Barrel looks great to me.

Cool, what spikes roll mark? What camera did you use?

If you turn that cheek rest around you’ll have more clearance for your charging handle and your cheek won’t notice the difference.

Buy a set of gauges and check your head space. I have utmost confidence in BCM and Ranier but it’s always best practice to verify.
