I wanted to build a nice hunting carbine, for deer season. The rifle lower half is a Surplus Ammo and Arms lower, Stag arms lower parts kit, combined with a CTR stock kit from Palmetto State. I switched out the standard buffer that came with the kit for a Colt H buffer. The upper half is a stock Armalite 6.8 mid length carbine upper with approx 16" barrel. I used a set of YHM mini risers and some Weaver quad lock extension rings to mount a Vari X3 scope on it.
The carbine has standard non free floating handguards and a standard trigger group with some gritty creep and a fairly heavy pull.
Range Report: I have taken the rifle out once and that is it; shooting about 34 rounds of Silver State Armory 110 gr. Accubond (2550 fps) ammo.
The rifle is averaging 2.97" groups at 200 meters or 1.35 MOA. I am happy with the rifle's performance. Possibly with a different trigger and different load it might do better. The only thing I would change at this point would be trigger and I am hoping to find a good one piece mount someday. I am interested to see what this 6.8 will do to a nice big mulie.
