Default New AR Build
Here are some pics of my 1st AR build. Let me know what you think:





Specs:

AR15.com lower
Daniel Defense Lower Parts Kit
CMMG 16" MidLength Upper. Chrome lined 1/7 barrel and chamber
LaRue Tactical Padded 2 Point Sling
Magpul MOE Grip Flat Dark Earth
Magpul CTR Carbine Stock (Milspec) Flat Dark Earth
DSA Milspec Buffer Tube Kit
Magpul Flat Dark Earth Magazines
Midwest Industries Emergency Rear Sight

I plan on either getting an EOTech 512 or an Aimpoint for the optic. I already have an EOTech on my other AR, so I am leaning toward an Aimpoint

I've been back 3 or 4 times now

Without going into the AR/AK debate, I can say without a doubt there isn't an AK on the market that I would choose over an AR.

That's what I like to see! I got a couple "custom" builds along with a WASR and some receivers the ATF wouldn't like.
