Just built my first AR! *BCM/Magpul*
« on: September 02, 2010, 12:25:46 PM »
BCM 14.5 upper with a perma FH
BCM BCG
Tactical Innovations T15 lower (I got from another forum member)
DD LPK
Gunfighter mod 4 charging handle
ATI Milspec buffer tube kit
Magpul, MOE stock, MOE grip, rear MBUS, BAD lever and Pmag.
Primary Arms micro dot (T1 clone)

Still waiting for middy MOE hand guards, MS3 and AFG2 to get released.

Took about 3 weeks to get everything together. My friend Zach out went out to blacks last night to try them out  ;D Zach had help from Jeff with his AR if I understand right and it was also his first time shooting his AR.



Mine is on the right.


Sighting in. The red dot allows for a lower 1/3 co-witness.

Looks great!  BTW, the AFG2 is made to fit some of the railed hand guards that the AFG doesn't (the wings up front hit some hand guards).  If you are using a MOE hand guard you can use the AFG.  ;)

Right, but I like that it's slimmer overall too.

Very Nice! It's quite a good feeling having put it together yourself, helps you know how they work.

The mount is chintzy... But not in the sense that it isn't durable or loses zero. Just looks cheap, but for $30 you can't complain. Other than that it's freakin awesome... Easy to zero, held zero, works in direct sunlight... I have zero complaints about it. This is my first time using an optic so I was impressed at how fast it enables you to get on target. Zach I think was surprised when he tried it after using his Eotech. I don't think he expected it to work as well as it did. After I saw this video I had to give it a try.  :P
