One of my favorite 5.56 AR-15 (Built)

12:51:00 PM

My primary rifle is a AR-15 chambered in 5.56, it is a custom build of parts that I believe will make an accurate and reliable AR-15, assembled by myself.
In my opinion it is far better and can be cost effective to build your own rifle rather than buying one, but that a topic for another discussion.
Back on topic this is my rifle.




Let's start from the upper receiver and work our way down.

The upper receiver is a forged 7075-T6 aluminum A3 AR-15 upper, hard coat anodized black and machined T marks with a Mil-spec finish, from PSA.
The barrel is a 14.7" 1/7 twist hammer forged barrel. It is machine gun steel, a proprietary blend of hammer forged chrome molly vanadium made by FN, double thick chrome lining, M4 feed ramp extensions, and is Mil-spec phosphate coated. It has been Magnetic Particle Inspected and High Pressure Tested.
The barrel has the amazing Lantac Dragon(5.56) muzzle break pinned and welded to meet legal overall length.
The bolt carrier group is a Salient Arm International bolt carrier group with an integrated gas key, to eliminate the possibility of failure from hard use. The entire BCG is polished and held with a pre-nickel and Titanium nitride (TiN) coating.
The charging handle is the AXTS Raptor with SAI branding. The handguard is the Bravo Company(BCM) 13" KMR keymod handguard. And to finish off the upper Magpul MBUS Pro flip up sights.

Now on to the lower receiver.
The lower is an 80% Arms 80% lower made from 7075-T6 aluminum, Mil-spec hard anodized black finish.
The lower parts are from a DPMS lower parts kit. The trigger is a Geissele Automatics Super Dynamic Enhanced (SD-E) trigger, with KNS anti rotational pins. Mil-spec buffer tub, spring and buffer from BCM. A Magpul K2+ grip and finished of with a Magpul STR stock. 


Three different classes and not a single issue.


This beautiful rifle is shooting sub moa groups at 100 yards.
To sum up everything I built this AR-15 the was I wanted it from the very beginning. I'm not going to get into the argument whether it is better to build or buy, but if you have the know how and you know what you want why buy something that you will just end up parting.
