My first AR15 build

[bakerjw]

AKs are decent but they don't hold a candle to a FAL.

No more progress yet; I'm still trying to sell some stuff to raise funds for the rest of the build.

 

[Rvl Rookie]

A few days ago I made a bit of progress. I traded off the forearm I had, because it's too long, and bought a stripped upper. (It has the sight, but no dust cover, FA or BCG). It also has one of those carry handle optic mounts, so if I use this gun for deer hunting I can put a red dot or something on it.

I found the BCG I want, but I'm still trying to sell a shotgun to get the money. Then I need the FA, dust cover, crush washer for the muzzle brake, the nut that holds the barrel on (Castle nut?), 3 inch free float forearm, low pro gas block and tube, and whatever else I don't know of yet.

Progress is slow, but I'm getting there.

<----- Officially jealous!

Free float hand guard arrived today. Still needs more parts, but it's looking almost finished and since the hand guard works as a barrel nut I can leave the barrel on it now.

The BCG arrived today! One big step closer to being done...

Looking good! Can't wait to see it finished - you know you're gonna have to post a video, now.

Or, at least tell us how it shoots.

 

[Rvl Rookie]

I plan to take video the first time I shoot it, and probably a few times after that. I want to get some in the dark, to see how much flame that short barrel shoots out.

 

[Rvl Rookie]

The washer for the muzzle brake arrived yesterday, and the gas tube arrived today.

Do you have to put CO2 in the gun for it to work? or green gas?
