Finished product Okay, here's what the finished product ended up looking like (two months later and sans optics because I'm indecisive). A little bit changed from my original plan. The G2S trigger became a LaRue MBT-2S and the stock became an MFT Minimalist. All in (before optics) it ran me...

I like the PRO quite a bit. My brother has one on his rifle and I've been impressed with it every time I've gone to the range with it. I don't think the oversize knob would be a huge issue on an AR-15 and the PRO's weight isn't a huge issue either, I don't think. I really like the BPM handguard...

You're right about the optic. The Aimpoint is more serving as a place holder in my budget that anything else. I just got a job at a sporting goods store near me so I have employee discount (they just don't carry much stuff I'm really interested in scope and rifle wise). If I discover we have...

Okay, So I've had this AR build growing in my head for more than a year now and I think I'm finally ready to *ahem* pull the trigger on it. (had to get a pun in there, sorry) This'll be my "first" AR and one that I think will go well with the Steyr AUG I own. I just wanted to fly it by a...

Thanks for the info on the LaRue stock! As far as building an AR15 from the ground up, I'd really rather start with an already completed lower receiver (and upper if possible) to avoid all the tiny parts and assembly (I know, I'm lazy). Having a Colt is not super-duper important to me, I...

LaRue Tactical Does anyone have a LaRue Tactical such as the RISR/CTR or RAT stock they can tell me about? Thanks!

Does anyone have anything positive or negative to say about the SureFire M73 rail or the VLTOR IMOD stock?

After market trigger options Do any of y'all have anything to say, positive or negative about aftermarket triggers such as those made by Geissele or Wilson Combat? Thanks!

This is the way I'm looking at it. I want my AR to be as custom as possible without having to buy a completely stripped lower receiver. Even if I only save a couple of bucks by going for the OEM vs. a regular 6920 I'll be happy and yes, I've already got a preliminary setup in mind but it does...

Thanks for the replies so far! Are there any particularly good accessories I need to be aware of or need to avoid? My first plan is to buy the first four items I've already listed and then look into an optic, aftermarket trigger, charging handle, pistol grip, fore grip and finally a sling. Is...

That is a valid point but I would prefer to cut down on the amount of discarded parts I have lying around if possible. Oh and does the 6920 have the mil-spec or commercial buffer tube?? Thanks.

Colt recently released their bare-bones edition of the AR-15 which got me somewhat interested in picking up an AR-15 here in the near future. I’ve already got a Steyr AUG A3 that I’ve been enjoying thus far but I still want an AR-15 for….well, I just want one. :neener: I've just got a few...

If it comes right down to it though, I'm sure a handful Democrat senators (at least if they value their seats) such as Jon Tester (Montana) and Heidi Heitkamp (North Dakota) will vote to protect our 2nd Amendment rights. Both Tester and Heitkamp have proven to be pro-Second Amendment during...

Hopefully, Congress can pass this law exempting M855 and other cartridges. Yes, the President may (will) veto it, BUT we are not as bad off in Congress. We need 290 representatives to get a 2/3s, we have 245 Republicans (I'm sure we can scrape together 45 sympathetic Democrats from southern and...

Sorry if this sounds dumb but can't Congress just pass an exemption on M855 and make it a permanent law? Also, is there any way to see which of our Congressmen/Senators are among those opposing the ban? I would very much like to know if my Congressmen opposes it. Seeing as she is a Texas...
