My "Half-Sy" Build

So, as some may remember, a year or two ago I built an AR in 300Blk. Great cartridge but in the interest of caliber commonality with some friends, I decided to go with 223. Well, that and the fact that loading the 300 is a PITA. Anyway, I sold my upper to someone recently and did some research. The build will be somewhat similar, but a bit different. New handguard and a target crowned barrel.

 

The lower is a Mega Arms forged with a Midwest PX LPk and an ALG trigger. ACE rifle length stock. Pretty standard stuff.

 

Here is the parts list on the upper:

 

Forward Assist Assembly

Ejection Port Cover Assembly

Vltor BCM-GFH BCM Gunfighter 5.56mm Charging Handle--Short (Mod 5)

YHM 15" TJ Handguard Todd Jarrett

Mega Arms AR-15 Forged Upper with M4 Feed Ramps Stripped

Gas Tube Roll Pin

.750 Low Profile Gas Block, Short (Set Screw) Steel

Seekins Precision Melonite Carbine Length Gas Tube

 

The barrel is a 16" McGowen, M4 with a target crown that I got from a friend for a good price. He has a build that he changed direction on and I was there to "assist" him in lightening the load.

 

All is on order already. I'm really just posting my excitement. Pics will follow.

Everything is ordered. I have shipping confirmation on it all. Just trying to find time to grab the barrel from my buddy. I am hoping to have a new rifle by the end of the month.

 

What is it about the build process that is just so much damn fun? I really enjoy it.

I know the feeling. I have a few in progress right now too.

Between this and my 1911 build that I'm waiting on, life is pretty good. If it wasn't for the stoopud furnace taking a sh&$(necessitating the sale of some prized posessions), I'd be all good. Regardless, the process of the build is at least as much fun as the shooting when it's done.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By raz-0 · Posted

      In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By Tunaman · Posted

      27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.

      I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
