It Begins.....UPDATE: COMPLETED!!

[williamkevin]

Here are the remainder of the parts for the lower....
Magpul pistolgrip
Magpul B.A.D. lever
Magpul MOE 6 position stock
Milspec buffer tube W/hardware
Standard carbine buffer and spring



I'll post a picture of the lower when I have assembled it.

My wife's AR lower is complete!!!

Very nice. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to go with the MOE furniture on my AR build or just standard M4 stock/handguards/grip.

How do you like the MOE stuff?

[Divided Attention]

Sooo., MAR wants me to bring my 9mm SBR to GNO on Wednesday to test some practice loads - this isn't going to cause undo strife is it?

I like it a lot. It's more ergonomic than I thought it might be. The real test will be when she shoots it. Next week, we're planning to install the upper from my RRA carbine to function check the new lower.

Here is the lower installed on the upper from my carbine:



It functioned flawlessly! The Timney trigger is the best AR trigger we have ever used!

Here are the results of the function check at 20 yards fired offhand by TLynn:

Here's a video of me shooting a 20 round magazine using this setup. If you listen close, you can clearly hear the trigger reset between shots!

Better be careful - people might be able to figure out your location because of that click

True that....we'll just call this a three gun carbine and not a battle carbine!

We took a little bit of a right turn on the build. TLynnHughes scored a two-day Tactical Pistol / Carbine course this month at Tiger Valley! With the accelerated timeline, we decided to go (temporarily) with a complete upper from Del-Ton. It's an A-3, 16" barrel, mid-length gas system with a Yankee Hill Machine flip-up front sight assembly / gas block combination.



After I have the M.O.E. furniture installed, I'll post a pic of the completed carbine.

Cheers!

As if the sound of the gunfire won't give your position away.

And, here it is!

Nice build!

And, here it is!

Looks good but rear sight is on backwards. Anything gets on the MBUS and you deploy it, it will fling in your face.

Yep. Nice build BTW. That's essentially what I built for my wife, minus the Magpul AFG.
