Finished building my AR15. Since everyone will ask for specs, here they are:

DPMS lower receiver
BCM upper receiver - 16" mid length, 1/7 twist, chambered for .223 and 5.56
Ambidextrous safety since I'm left handed.
Magpul flip-up rear sight
Magpul stock and grip
Magpul MOE handguards

This covers the important stuff I think. I have a different trigger guard to put in, but I need to get some different punches first. I also want to toss a scope on it for some long distance shooting, but I figure I'll get proficient with the iron sights first.

Now on with the pics!

Very nice. Now, can you stop fucking around and buy a CZ?

looks like a great little gun. Which trigger did you use? Being a Lefty myself I will probably switch my ARs over to the Ambi Safety. I don't know if you have tried them or not but my last 223 build was using a Stag Left Handed upper Receiver and Le left handed bolt, Now CMMG is producing a Ambi Upper but as of this moment I think you still have to use the Stag Left Handed Bolt if you want to go that way.

Thanks! Just using the stock mil-spec trigger right now. A buddy of mine has a Geissele (I think) trigger that's been worked over that he has offered to me for a price of course. LOL. I do like the ambi safety. I've not tried a full on left handed AR. I'm so used to conquering and overcoming the right handed world that I didn't even think about it.

price doesn't seem terrible I would only be concerned with why he is selling.
you save $30 and no paperwork, not a bad thing.

if he lets you try it out run a full box of shells through it. my Taurus for the first couple boxes would "bind" up after 20 shots or so. build up in the revolver made it hard to rotate to the next shell. after a few boxes and some good cleanings, no more issues.

He was selling because he wanted a semi-auto and wanted to use the money to go towards one. He let me borrow it and I put many rounds through it. My dad has a Colt snubby .38 special, which I also borrowed. I took both guns out at the same time to compare. While I liked the lighter trigger pull of the Colt, along with the fact it is a six shooter, instead of Rossi's five. However, the Rossi has a hammer lock and the Colt doesn't. Since I have a 6 year old, I figured it would be best to get the Rossi, because she can't unlock the hammer, even if she could find the gun.

I'm a little behind! Looks nice Trace! One question though, did you go with the 1/7 twist on purpose? Just wondering if you wanted it to shoot the heavier bullets.

Damn, those are some sexy handguards.

Nice rifle. There are many like it, but that one is yours.

Q: Why the 1:7 twist? Going to be competitive shooting with it?

Thanks fellas!

I went with the 1:7 twist because I want to try my hand at some long distance shooting with the AR, in the 500 yard range. I've read it *can* be done and that the 1:7 twist is more conducive for longer shots, so that's my reasoning.

Of course, now I'm thinking about how to build my next AR.
