Sounds like you got a nice rig. Are you planning on reloading for it?Sidro wrote:Gun is finished except for scope and low-pro 45 degree flip up sights and is really a neat lightweight package.
The lower is built with a nickel-boron trigger and mft minimal stock. The lpk came from Toms Tactical. Priced all the parts and after tallying up the cost it was cheaper to buy the upper already built.
16" ss 300 blackout bbl m4 contour with low pro gas block, ss comp and 15" keymod ultra slim free float hand guard. Extended aluminum tac latch and the upper receiver is forged 7076-T6 aluminum(m4 ramps) and AR-15/M16 Nitride Bolt Carrier Group. The cost for the upper shipped was $460 from Sanders Armory.
Would post picture but I ain't smart enough, maybe will be able to when son comes home in near future.

Re: AR uppers buy or build
I am working on looking for ARs for several friends who want one before the election.
For me, I know what I like and what I don't like, I also have enough parts around or can pull a barrel off of one upper that I don't use as much and make something new.
If someone wants a regular 16" carbine, there is no reason not to get an M&P 15, or something off the shelf. Unless they already know that they are going to upgrade the sights, handguards, grip, butt stock, trigger... And so on, it is easier to buy off the shelf.

Re: AR uppers buy or build
Tam I will not be reloading at this time. Will wait for retirement in a year or so and then will get back in the reloading business. I have a thousand rounds of 110gr ammo that will take a little while to get rid of.
