The Emperor's Armory called, they need their rifle-MY first complete build UPDATE

[Don the savage]

So I finally put together a complete AR Last night. And when AI did it I went whole hog. I've seen quite a few "winter" builds and figured why the heck not- I'm going full snow trooper.

I picked up a can of the new Duracoat spray paint and set up the paint booth. Paint comes out a little thin from the can. Also I shot it on a 60degree day. I'm sure if it was warmer it would have been a little better.
After I waited a day I put all the parts together and only lost one spring and the safety detent. Not a bad effort for me.
Enough writing, heres the finished product.



I'm going to see how she runs Saturday at West End. Anyone who sees me come over and take a run with her and "Feel the Power of the Dark Side"

[Don the savage]

I guess I should run down a parts list;
Anderson Machine Upper and Lower
Joe Bobs parts kit
Bushmaster Trigger Group
JP Yellow Trigger Springs (4.5-5 lb trigger pull in this build)
Midwest Industries Freefloat Gen 2 Forend
CBC Industries Barrel
MI low pro Gas Block
Thordsen FRS-15 Stock
Yankee Hill Phantom Muzzle Break

But i thought storm troopers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn :P

I just hope you can actually hit something with it. Those storm troopers sure had a tough time of it.

[Whiterabbit]

not a fan. If you sprayed the stock, it would have been better. more personally, I don't care for the gloss look.

What interests me the most is you masked the FCG pocket but not the takedown pins. Why did you mask the fcg pocket, and did you have issues getting the takedown pins in place during assembly?

Saw the title, was hoping for a warhammer 40k build :P

Can't see painting guns.

[S&W629Lover]

Nice build, nice paint job. It's yours and it's the way you want it and that's what matters.

[Whiterabbit]

Can't see painting guns.

Duracoat, should be a little better than krylon.

Well, it DOES have an NcStar red dot on it!

[LiferLance]

Where is the 40k build?

[MongooseV8]

Imperial ftw

[Write Winger]

Nice, that'll look good with a black Pmag 30

[Von_Richthofen]
