[QUOTE="wylekyote, post: 1750905, member: 4455"] Kinda lost contact with the friend with FFL that ordered the parts and helped me get it set up how I wanted it. It's not [I]exactly[/I] as nice of a gun as I was expecting from the price and our discussions (again, been over a year, so I could have a bad memory. Not trying to badmouth anyone). Has a DPMS lower (eh, leaning towards the disappointed side on that but I think over than their bargain bin stuff they make a decent gun, correct? Obviously not super tactical awesome like larue or something). Not sure on upper and barrel, if someone could clue me in on where the identifying markings typically are I can probably find them, I've had it a fair ways apart. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i103.photobucket.com_albums_m133_niquesuave06_AR15pic1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i103.photobucket.com_albums_m133_niquesuave06_AR15pic2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i103.photobucket.com_albums_m133_niquesuave06_AR15pic3.jpg[/IMG] Anyway, heres everything that I know of Lower- DPMS Upper - ??? pretty sure it's chromed and if I remember right the headspacing (maybe?) wasn't right for my upper so the barrel war originally sent back and replaced (again, SUPPOSEDLY, from some place that makes each barrel length, twist, coating, flash suppressor, etc to order) Quad rails are Midwest Industries Bravo Co rails MBUS pop up irons Grip Pod brand/Military issued foregrip/bipod (actually acquired it a long time ago before they became commercially available. . .) Surefire X300 (still need to pick that up from the buddy I bought this from) .22 conversion kit plus 75 round drum mag for shits and giggles (and those long breaks between paychecks) Optic is the ACOG Trijicon Reflex which I really really like but I may switch it back from an aimpoint with flip over 3x magnifier (opinions?) Plus a full case (2200) rounds of 5.56 NATO, might double that order too. . . My gas block is currently FUBAR'ed so he ordered another that's supposed to be here Wednesday (rails have some wiggle, gas block can be pulled "out"/forward toward the business end of the barrel). I'm itching to shoot, if anyone around Tulsa has a spare gas block and the know how to fix the weapon safely I'd be more than happy to compensate you. I want to shoot this thing so bad it hurts. (edit* obviously I'm smart enough not to shoot it anyway) Anyhow, if I switch back to the Aimpoint then I'm going to swap back to a the original stock he was getting me (had storage for 2x CR123 + something else small built in). I also have about 12 PMAGs and 1 older aluminum (?, coated steel maybe?) 30 rounder as well. Let me know what you all think :wave: -Nick [/QUOTE]
