Shown in two modes, one for med. range/cqb, and the other for long range tactical. Built this 16" SASS clone around an Armalite SASS Carbine barrel made by Kreiger. Bead blasted, added the Vortex, built on an Aero precision lower with a RR NM two stage at 3#, Hogue grip, Magpul trigger guard, VLTOR stock assy. Upper started as a complete Armalite 20", swapped out the barrel for the SASS, added the SWS E1 rail, and either the railed gas block for the MI BUIS (front and rear) or the EGW low pro. Upper and lower fit together with oversized pins for zero movement. Scope is entry level Millet TRS1 on a Bobro mount. Red dot is Aimpoint M3 on an ARMS thro lever and spacer. Still waiting on a crush washer for the Vortex befoer a test fire.
 
Re: Armalite 16" SASS clone

Very nice build! I have an Armalite SASS from the factory and was looking for an equvalent upper in 16" to put on it to make it shorter amd lighter and keep the 20" for long-range shooting.
