My first AR15 build

[Rvl Rookie]

I got my front sight base;



I ordered a Bushmaster teardrop forward assist, and some cheap front sight posts. I'll replace the FSP later, with a Trijicon Tritium, but I want to get this gun ready to shoot.

The cheapie FSP arrived today, and I'll use it until I can get the tritium FSP;

Assembly complete! I still need to do a little painting (on the logo), but I finished the assembly several hours ago. It may get fired for the first time very soon.

What kind of buffer tube is that? I've not seen one like it before.

I use these on all of my iron sight ARs. They've proven to be very accurate.

It's part of the Palmetto State Armory pistol LPK;

After that, I put a CAA Stock Saddle on it (there's a pic on a previous page). The saddle is made to go over a skeleton stock on an M4, but I wrapped the buffer tube with nylon webbing and then zip-tied the saddle over it. I like the looks of it, and it'll give a more consistent cheek weld.

I just fired it for the first time, and it was great. The chickens had followed me into the driveway, but when I started shooting they decided to walk down to the other end of the house.

I finally finished painting the rest of it;





Since I was already going, I painted my Bushmaster too;

Did they walk to the end of the house or run?

Nice gun and how cool that you can shoot in your yard!

Thanks.

The chickens didn't run, but they kind of double-timed it half way across there.
