First AR Build (BCM)
Update(7-28-12): Stumbled into financial issues and had to sell my Spikes/BCM AR to stay afloat. However, I'm slowly recovering and just began starting a budget build. Plans so far: LW15 polymer complete lower and Del-Ton mid length complete upper. Because I am pretty much broke, my budget to complete a fully functioning rifle is set at $600.00 and below, if you're in this thread, we'll see how it goes!
Previous Spikes/BCM 14.5"/ACOG AR: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Build in Progress: Del-Ton Complete Mid Length Upper Receiver (This build was never completed)

Thanks, I'm trying to learn the concept of; buy once, cry once.
With the rate that I'm going at the moment, this project is going to be a long one till it's completely done, lol.

Nice build, man! $355 is ridiculous....jealous.
I just hope that 14.5" barrel is pinned....

Thanks! I definitely got lucky with the ACOG. Yup, the flash hider is pinned/welded from the manufacture, overall length is "16.1

Build is coming along pretty nice nothing wrong with just purchasing a rifle kit but I applaud your patience instead of taking that route.

Thanks, I really wanted to get a better understanding of the AR platform. I do admit, however, that I did ask my brother for help for installing the lower parts kit lol.

who?
nice lookin rifle, why did you go with BCM complete upper and not assemble one yourself? was it a matter of price or components? |
#20
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for the compliment, the reason I ordered a complete upper from BCM is because throughout all my personal experiences with their manufactured uppers has been nothing but great. Also, I do not have the necessary tools/equipment and time to assemble an upper myself. I have thought about it though, because originally I did want a fluted barrel (preferably LWRC), but I was afraid of the possibility of encountering head spacing issues.

Sweet build! Yep I'm building one too and just got a ton of parts today great price on the acog too! They are a tad bit expensive but I'll get one. I'll just use my irons until I get the coin! What type of hand guard are you going with?
Awesome cat too! They just seem to be there when the camera turns on! Hahah keep it up!

I've already placed an order with Troy Industries Inc. during their Black Friday sale, within the next week or two I should be receiving my Troy MRF-CX 12" free float rail. Thanks, my cat is great! You're right, literally everytime she spots a camera she makes an effort to get in the picture lol. Good luck on your build, be sure to post pictures! I'm sure it's going to come out awesome. Thanks for the compliment, I can't wait till I'm done with my build so I can have a range report.

Your missing something........
Looks like a no holds barred, all out build. You need a BCM Vltor Gunfighter Super Mall Ninja Tacticool Operator Charging Handle.

I sure hope so! Thanks.

Personally, I would have gone with a BCM Gunfighter Vltor charging handle, I'm right handed, but I shoot lefty cause I'm left eye dominate. I prefer a charging handle that is ambidextrous.

Try being a lefty who is right eye dominant. I have the gunfighter and I love it. I had to adapt. FOr my next build I'm going to add an ambi safety. Other than that...learn to shoot off hand too!

Nice, same exact upper as mine. Only thing different is the little white star next to the BCM lettering.

There is a very slight blur that is barely noticeable. It doesn't affect the field of view of the scope at all. Zip-ties, lol. Thanks!

Very nice build. Looks like you took your time, and did a lot of research. The Calguns community is a wealth of knowledge.
