So, I've finally received my AR from a build that took several months due to the gunsmith's priorities ahead of me He's a federal employee for Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM), and has been in the business of things that go boom for at least 15 years. I sent an 80% lower to him to get it machined and matched to my newly purchased upper.
The results and specs:
ARAK-21 Upper receiver with .300 and 5.56 barrels (interchangeable with UR)
MA-Customs custom Lower Receiver with Geissele SSA-E trigger group
VLTOR E-Mod Carbine stock
BCM Mod 1 grip
MAGPUL MBUS Front/Rear back-up sights
MAGPUL "no-snag'm" rail covers
GripPod GPS-02
Triji TA648MGO (reman)
Alternate Rig:
Surefire M952XM07 WeaponLight
Meprolight M21
The other "pre-ban" purchases are a Ruger SR45, a Glock G23 2nd Gen, and a Mossy 500A (folding/collapsible stock and pistol grip).
