looks like a bushy mag that isn't seated all the way.

I finally picked up the last member to the family tonight... the STAG-15.

Depending on how business is this week, I may be able to squeeze out a final $204 out of the piggy bank and add a fourth and final member to the family, but I am going to try to contain myself before I really have to start buying medicine to limit the BRD symptoms.

Until then, it will just be my two Ameetec WM-15 LE/Govt Only lowers and the STAG-15:

The "Operator" in his "Arctic Camo" outfit checking out his new rifle....

Anyways.... my CA-AR....

elmo · #**125** 02-14-2006, 8:50 AM

you need a BUIS buddy!

Pablo · #**126** 02-14-2006, 1:21 PM

Jicko,

Why did you buy the 552 model instead of the 551? I think it would have been better to go with the 551 since it gives you more room to put a BUIS...

Jicko · #**127** 02-14-2006, 1:44 PM

Pablo (RE:why 552):

Reasons for 552 are
1) I've got a GREAT deal @ the Del Mar show, $299, brand new unit!
2) I want AA rather than N battery

Elmo (RE:BUIS):

I do.... and I am look for a 1/3 co-witness setup... right now the front sight is annoying....

I want to get the ARMS#40 regular BUIS, and I'm looking into getting the YHM-220 EOTech Riser ($39), I hope this will give me a raised EOTech, and a 1/3 co-witnessing setup.

And I am also trying to get a YHM 4Rail Lightweight carbine HG, and with that, I can mount the EOTech even further forward...

Talk about DEJA VU! You've got the same parts kit (if it came from Del-Ton then maybe even an identical kit), the same breed of dog that I have and same coat (white), AND even the same handgun!

Well not really that having those three items is that much of a coicidence... I guess seeing it all together with your dog really got me motivated to get my build put together!

Rifle: It is a full STAG-15 rifle..... the upper is the Stag 1H w/ carry handle removed...
Pistol: Glock 19
Dog: American Eskimo, mini

ocabj · #**132** 02-22-2006, 7:48 AM

I have all the parts for my MK12 Mod 1 themed rifle project. I put the upper on a registered Colt Sporter for load testing this weekend.

I would have tested last weekend, but I didn't feel like loading all my gear into the car to go to the range with the off and on rain. Plus, I doubt the chronograph would have given ideal data with the cloud cover.

Anyway, I have tons of pics here -> http://www.ocabj.net/gallery/mk12mod1

Note the GSE upper and A2 stock I plan on using (Stag LPK not pictured). That A2 stock was originally off the pictured Colt Sporter. It was replaced with a standard 4-position collapsible stock (the Colt Sporter factory configuration was a 16" Carbine length with carry handle).

Upper receiver is an Adco custom build. White Oak Armament (WOA) upper receiver with M4 feed ramps, 18" WOA SS SPR barrel with 1 in 7" twist (KG Black coated), WOA B/BC/CH, A2 flash hider, and Daniel Defense 12.0 handguard.

Scope is a Leupold Mark 4 3-9x36 M3 Illuminated Mildot. Rings are ARMS #22H.

Temporary lower receiver assembly is a Colt Sporter lower receiver with Rock River Arms 4-position stock and original factory Colt lower parts.

Planned lower receiver assembly is a Gunsmoke Enterprises lower receiver with a Colt A2 stock and CMT/Stag lower parts kit.

That looks awesome "ocabj" I almost finished my SPR project too but I'm still waiting for the OPS-INC brake that I order 61 days ago!!!

How much you paid for the Leupold?

Well it was nice of you to drop the mag, to soften the blow.

Thanks for thinking of our feelings.

is it just me, or does it look like your magazine release button is installed?

denalion22 · #**140** 02-25-2006, 5:15 PM

No My Release button is not installed I promise. I wish it was though. I hope the DOJ gets this thing straight in a hurry. This would be my first real AR if they do.

Stevie, that receiver is gorgeous, man!!! Perfect for an "XM" project!!!
But is that an auto sear hole above the selector? and if so it looks is out of specs... to much to the back. Care to tell us more?

RevTekniques · #**143** 02-26-2006, 9:20 PM

You guys should list $$$ values next to your weapon...

stevie · #**145** 02-27-2006, 4:07 AM

No auto sear, thats the dang colt hammer block thingy. Its a big block they put in to keep people from messing with the trigger group.

I totalled mine up once. I purchased it as a lower, and it has been upgraded multiple times. Including the EOtech and the Surefire forend I am up to $1900 in total expenses.

No wait, that doesn't include the TAG ASP sling and Daniel Defense bunsed loop. It'll be something else new soon.

JS-M1A · #**147** 02-27-2006, 6:47 PM

Pre-94 Colt match HBAR (reged AW) I know I know some of
those mags need new bodies.I haven't got around to it.

Thanks for the clarification Stevie! If it's possible can you share a pic of that block? and how does it work? can you remove it?

The block prevents the use of a Drop-In-Auto-Sear (A Class III device in itself). Plus the block prevents the use of a full-auto bolt carrier (In fact, all rifles built with lowers that have the sear block can only use a semi-auto carrier with the lower rear of the bolt carrier machined off--not even a "full-circle" semi-auto bolt carrier will work)

ETA1: The sear block also prevents use of the full-auto disconnector with the longer tail. Some after market 2 stage trigger groups won't work with the blocked lowers.

ETA2: Weird. Just compared pics. The sear block pin on Stevie's lower is in a different position from that of the pin on my blocked Colt lower.

The block can legally be removed, but the common method is to grind away the block and cut the pin flush with the interior wall of the receiver, leaving part of the pin to fill the hole. Otherwise you have a hole in the side of the receiver.

Here's the patent drawing:

It's official.......Ted's a gun geek.

Thanks a lot for the pics Stevie!!!

**jmlivingston** · #**154** 03-01-2006, 6:05 AM

Stevie, how do you like that Dissipator? I've been stewing about building one of mine out that way. It's a little different than the typical setup that's shown, and I kinda like it. One big hestitancy I have is that it loses the ability to attache a bayonet to it...

I'm also thinking of going with all green furniture on it. Does that Colt you have dressed in green also have the matching handguards? I'd like to see a pic of that if you don't mind, only seen a few pictures recently of rifles that were done up with the green gear...

Thanks!
John

stevie · #**155** 03-01-2006, 6:21 AM

John

Look on page 15, it has a pic of my Colt Sporter A2 with a green Arms 51 handguard.

So far i like the dissy setup, I had the barrel lightened by ADCO and had that muzzle break removed. I do not plan on ever needing a Bayo, so i do not consider that a problem.

**jmlivingston** · #**156** 03-01-2006, 6:25 AM

Thanks - I'd seen that other picture, didn't realize it was the same rifle. Your pic's have good lighting, I was hoping to see a green setup with regular handguards. Oh well...

How's the balance of the Dissipator? They look barrel-heavy, but it's only a 16" barrel so it's probably just deceiving.

John

stevie · #**157** 03-01-2006, 6:30 AM

The heavy bbl version is front heavy. So thats why i had it lightened, its not that bad now. Granted once you add the rail, light etc.. it does get a little weighty. If you ever in L.A. area your more than welcome to fondle it.
