Lets see your .223 California Legal Self Loading Rifle!

[Capita159]

Is that Apex tube straight? There is a much larger space above the barrel than below the barrel........ Is it the design?

Good observation, the Apex tube is like no other. The larger diameter "top" allows clearance for a gas tube while the buttom is slim, best for smaller hand applications. It will not work with gas pistons, because the "provided two barrel nut clamps" pinches the gas tube. The two clamps goes on the barrel nut and then the tube acts as a sleeve. There are also four screws to lock the tube onto the clamps. Complexated?, I've researched many free float tubes and have narrowed down to a few. Apex machining is the lightest FF tube that uses the factory barrel nut. The Bushmaster carbon upper uses a non-mil-spec "larger diameter" barrel nut, defeating the chance to use many FF tube manufactures. I rather give up the choices than to give up a 3.8oz stripped upper. What started out as a light weight build for my girlfriend became, "Let's see how light we can get this rifle for her".

I gotta build my gf one of these! does your gf like it?

Yes, she enjoys it. We plan to hit the range twice a month, enough so she can be one with the her rifle. That's good news for me . However, the recoil on that gun sucks. The light weight BCG flies back fast, and the 1" ACE recoil pad is no help. I know you and your brother loves the Battle Comp. How much of a recoil would it reduce?

It feels like a .22

Nothing too special

I love the lightweight gun- who's front sight is that? I have built a 4lb 8 oz rifle using NO plastic parts (sept the grip)- the downside, you have to cut holes in a lot of stuff. Not too handsome that way.

4lbs and 8oz? You got me beat by 6oz. I also thought about drilling holes to lighten the load. Who cares about the look of the rifle as long as the goal is achieve, which is sub 5lbs.
That front sight is by POF. It weights 2oz. and is made of aluminum.
