First blood with the new AR
- Thread starter ODI
- Start date
I was thinking the same thing - Sorry ODI.
By the way ODI. Can we see a better picture of your AR?

Here is a picture right after I finished assembling all the parts. The fore grip bi-pod was attached so I could get a good picture. The scope and mount was dry fitted to check clearance with my iron sight folded down. I run the rifle with iron sights and no fore grip. Lower is a Rock River Arms with their parts kit and Operator CAR stock. Upper is a Palmetto State Arms upper with a 14.5" double chrome lined machine gun steel FN barrel. This is the same barrel made by FN for the M240/249 machine guns, so they are very durable and have a 80,000+ round life. Some say they are not accurate but mine shoots sub MOA at 200yds with Lake City 62gr 5.56 ammo. The flash suppressor is pined and welded to make it 16" and ATF legal. Chose the mid-length upper for a longer sight radius, longer forearm and lower chamber pressure. Because of the shorter barrel they recommend the Colt H2 buffer used in the full auto SBR entry guns. Forearm and grip are Magpul flat dark earth. What I wanted was a light short handy carbine that would last me a life time and make a great coyote rifle.
That is a nice rig ODI. From your post - you sound like a guy that may know a thing or two about the M4 platform! :
