Show your new for 2014 AR!

Finally got some pieces to put together a new AR. LMT lower from Evolution 9 and Noveske Afghan upper from fnp45tactical. I cannot decide on a sight and it is driving me crazy.
 
DPMS SASS with some JP Rifle Swagger

Put together a nice steel plinker. I like the DPMS value, but added a different ERGO grip, JP Rifle FF foreend, chopped and recrowned barrel to 16" with Surefire muzzle break. It is what it is and works for me plinking steel out to 500 yards so far, not comparing to the upper end AR10's but Im happy with it.

Noveske 8.2" SS .300 BLK barrel with polished & contoured feed ramps, with Troy Claymore on the muzzle. LMT proof round tested, MP-inspected bolt, fitted at 1.4666", plus LMT internals, all D/B coated. NEA Compact Carbine stock kit with proprietary bolt carrier. Larue Stealth upper receiver (no longer in production). PRI Gas Buster charging handle. KAC URX forend. Aimpoint T-1 in Larue mount.

The lower is a personal SBR (ten years old) with Geissele SSA trigger and SPR grip.

What do you think of the NEA stock? I've only heard one review and it wasn't good (poor machining, fit, and finish)
 
DPMS Gen 2 Recon .308 with extended free float tube ( Nordic Components), Badger Tactical Latch, ALG/ACT trigger w/ JP 3.5 pound spring kit, EoTech XPS-2, Miculek Muzzle Brake timed at 1 o'clock, Magpul CTR stock,

How's the Upper/Lower Fit and finish on yours? why the new trigger? I thought the factory 2 Stage Trigger was pretty Darn Good!

Well the upper is newly built. DD receiver, WOA 18" SPR rifle length, 1:7, Ranier Match lo pro gas block, Troy Alpha 13", DD BCG, Gunfighter medium CH. The lower is an LMT I already had, but I did install a Geissele DMR in it just for this upper build.

I updated the 7.62 to mimic my Noveske 5.56 (ergonomics). I was extremely surprised with weight reduction. 2014 is being kind to me so far.

BCM Keymod
BCM Charging Handle
BCM Mod 2 Grip
BCM Muzzle Brake

Rattle canned this one Aervoe Field Drab (coyote).





 
.22 Plinker and 5.56 carbine




BCM lower with Geissele Super Tricon trigger, BCM B5 SOPMOD Bravo stock, BCM Mod 2 grip, VLTOR A5 RE kit/Sprinco chrome silicon green coded buffer spring, IWC QD receiver end plate. BCM Standard 14.5" Mid Length (ENHANCED Light Weight-*FLUTED*) Upper Receiver Group w/ BCM KMR 13" Handguard, latest generation LMT NP3 coated enhanced BC with BCM bolt and NiB-X Bolt Cam Pin. Raptor ambi CH, Magpul Pro rear sight, Colt small spool FP, Colt castle nut, DD latest gen serrated face front sight, KAC MAMS, Surefire X300 ULTRA with Unity Tactical mount/guard, Magpul RSA sling mount, waiting on the BCM FDE keymod rail covers. Aimpoint T-1 on a GDI QD mount. Custom BFG Vickers FDE padded sling with a Magpul MS1 sling slider assembly (super smooth adjustment with no creep), a Magpul Paraclip on the front (I can manipulate it easier/faster than a push button QD swivel when its cold out and with gloves on) and and a MS1™ MS3-QD™ Adapter on the rear, for a single point option. I prefer to use the stocks right side QD mount. The triggers pull weight and break is perfect and I actually prefer the BCM stocks slightly smaller shelf/cheek weld over the IMOD's when using a RDS. A Cerakote finish something like this from http://redcreektactical.com/images/314_RCT_Light_Tactical_3.jpg might be in its future. Even with the add-ons, it is still a very lightweight and well balanced carbine.

Oldschool A2

I'm working my way backward to the basics….. a straight-up, nothing fancy, A-2. She ain't purdy, but she's fun on a Saturday night. I just built this one today on a Spikes Tactical Upper w/16" 1:7 twist barrel and mid-length gas system. I've got a matching Spikes lower in the works as soon as the LPK arrives. In the meantime I used the Double Star lower that I had sitting in my safe waiting on SBR approval. Soon as this damn weather warms up, I'll take it out and break it in.
 
I've been working on other platforms for my own stuff this year so far. But I have been putting together rifles for my four daughters. My oldest who is 11 has had her rifle for a couple years now and has already bagged a nice buck with it. It is the top one in the picture. I had my brother engrave their names in them with his VMC. They now are sitting as complete lowers waiting for me to scrounge the parts for the uppers.

 
My 264LBC/6.5 Grendel is finally DONE.

The picture does not include the Harris bipod and some camo form to wrap the scope and make it match the rifle, which are both now installed, but you get the idea. And the brake is timed now, pic was taken before it was shimmed and timed.

The Goodies:
Desert Digital Camo hydro-graphic printing throughout by my friends @ Galley Graphics
Rainier arms ultramatch upper
PSA Lower
Magpul PRS Stock in FDE
ERGO Palm-shelf grip in FDE
MOE Trigger guard in FDE
KNS anti-walk pins in FDE
Timney competition trigger
Midwest Extended Rifle length handguard in FDE
Midwest .936 low profile extended gas block
YHM melonited gas tube
BHW custom twist, stainless steel, polygonal rifled barrel, 24" heavy bull profile chambered in .264LBC
BHW hand fitted/paired MPI bolt to the barrel/extension/chamber
LMT Bolt carrier, pins
SAS muzzle brake for Arbiter TOMB suppressor
Nightforce ultralight 30mm 20MOA uni-mount
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 MIL-MIL FFP Scope
Midwest Bipod adapter
Harris 9-13 LMS Bipod (not pictured)

I was going to post this in the Sniper's Hide build thread but couldn't find it, so I guess this is just as good a place as any... Finally (almost) finished this build based on the matched receiver sets from JD Machine from a few years back! It will soon have a 2.5-10X on top.

Geissele SSA-E Trigger
CLE Douglas SPR 18" 1:8 Barrel Rifle length gas system
Seekins SP3R 15" Keymod handguard
Troy Folding Battlesights
Magpul ACS Stock
SPR Pistol Grip
Harris Bipod attatched via OdinWorks K-Pod bipod adapter

My 3 gun AR

Noveske afghan barrel
13.5" nsr
Spikes receiver
Nickle boron "Fail zero bolt"
KAC lpr lower
Hands down best 14.5" setup ive ever touched. The afghan barrels cant be matched by anyone else's 14.5 barrels in my opinion.

Just Finished this one up Yesterday after my Stamp arrived! 10.5" 6.8 SPC built from a mix of used and Blem parts. Just about everything on this rifle was bought used, or repurposed from annother build at one point in time. Eventually I want to shave the FSB and add a 9" rail but that will come as funds allow.

This one I picked up about a month ago. Been wanting a .308 AR platform rifle for awhile now and I was starting to outgrow the 16" Noveske barreled 6.8 I built so this is the replacement. Still waiting on my scope to arrive.

Bought the lowers (OEF-15 on the FDE, Aero Ghost Gun on the Lothar-Walther) in Iowa, my home state, and then built them as MD-compliant "HBAR" profile full rifles so I could bring them back.

Here's the OEF-15 wearing my just-approved YHM Phantom 7.62:

Range day tomorrow to play with the can, and shoot some targets for Round 4 of the challenge.

(the OEF-15 is getting a PST 2.5-10 in a month or so; the strikefire/magnifier was to make it a shorter-range compliment to the 6-24 on the LW rifle)
