Nice build!

 

[amoebicmagician]

a bull barrel is the heaviest of all

Love the way they shoot, hate the way they look

I had a bull barrel on one of my ARs for awhile, but I had to change it out

Every time I opened my gun safe it felt like I was unzipping Ron Jeremy

Time to trade that flip-phone in.
Rail looks like a YHM Diamond from the one pic??
Nice looking rifle. Whose barrel did you use?

Optics: Saving for an ACOG
Phone: Not a flip phone, windows phone
Barrel; http://www.shop.dezarms.com/product.sc?productId=126&categoryId=27
Upper: Tactical Ambush
Lower: Anderson
Trigger: Stock, until I save enough to get a CMC Trigger
Rail: Rebel Arms
BCG: Nothing special, again saving for a Sharps Relibolt BCG.
Rifle weighs over 10 lbs already without any optics I actually took the bolt and charging handle off my .300 blackout upper.

You are complaining about the weight of that rifle? I built one like yours, but it comes in around 12 +/- pounds as it is now. It is a trade off, weight v accuracy.

Nah not complaining, just commenting.

I know.

I gripe about how heavy my precision AR is, but when you have a 3.5# barrel that gives incredible accuracy, it makes it all worth it. But then again I don't shoot it offhand. It is prone, bench, or supported in some way.

Nice rifle and good job.I like it.

If that will live its life as a bench gun you may see improvements with a CMC or similar pack type trigger, but they are not reliable. If they get fouled bad the toleances wont allow the rifle to work. They are also single stage which makes breaking the shot a little more unpredictable compared to a 2 stage IMO. Many box triggers won't reliably ignite hard primered military ammo. They even say not to use it on 5.45 guns on their website.

What many people don't realize is many aftermarket triggers and lightened hammer springs actually reduce the consistency of the AR due to inconsistent lock times. The CMC claims faster lock time so my comments may not apply. The lock time in the AR lies in the speed of the Hammer, not a lightened firing pin like many think. Lightened springs will cause stringing. The Army Marksmanship Unit discovered this with aftermarket triggers. The speed of a hammer is more important than a light trigger pull in an AR. Unless its changed, they use Geissele Triggers because they actually speed up lock time and provide reliable ignition and a predictable break.

I would wait on the reliabolt. There were breakage issues with them and they offer no reliability improvement features in my opinion. Save it for optics, a reliable 2 stage trigger, or ammo IMO.

Its a really nice rifle. Please understand Im only offering advice. If you choose to ignore it disagree, no hard feelings.

Just upgraded mine to a Geissele SSA-E less than 2 weeks ago. Haven't been able to shoot it yet, but WOW, I love the way that trigger feels!
