Looks good. Move your rear sight all the way back and front all the way forward.
Looks Great! My only suggestion, is to move your front sight to the absolute last picatinny rail slot all the way forward to the end of your rail. Also, your rear sight, needs to be moved all the way rearward, to the first picatinny rail slot ie: the first picatinny rail slot you see, when you pick the rifle up and put it to your shoulder, once you cheek weld the stock, that very first picatinny rail slot you see, that’s where you want your rear sight to sit. There is move than enough room to collapse the sight down, it will sit directly above the charging handle, in that flat groove/space at the beginning of the upper receiver. Doing so, will space your front and rear sights far enough apart, that it will give you the absolute most sight radius. Super fun to put that sucker together isn’t it? Welcome to the pure hell the tiny springs/detents will be, ALWAYS lol.
Moving the rear sight as far back as possible will also give you more room for an optic if or when you go that route.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I wasn’t sure where to put the sites so I had just thrown them on. I’ve moved them and I also moved the foregrip to where my hand naturally falls when I shoulder the rifle. Feels really good in my hands.
Boom!
Hopefully, you’re enjoying shooting your new rifle right about now!
Looks good. Now get yourself a three pack of lowers and get back to work. LOL
Nice!
Ran 273 rounds, mostly Win 5.56 but 3 others I wanted to try, too. Fed perfectly, ran perfectly. Not a single flaw. No failures to feed, no failures to lock the bolt back. Absolutely flawless. The sights will definitely need to be upgraded. My nephew has an old red dot I’m going to try. I’m a piss poor shot but with practice I can get better. One of my targets, bottom was trying to get the elevation right and top was windage, ignore the random holes around the edges, that was my 9mm. Was just seeing if I could hit the target with it at all at that distance. This thing was a f’in blast to shoot.
awesome, brother
the PSA drop in trigger is a very nice upgrade for $90
Might try one of those for my next build. Yes, already thinking of a next build. I might keep this one stock and start gathering upgrades for next one so I can get them over time and spread the expense out.
Uh oh… there it is!!! No going back now your hooked… lol. Funny thing is while doing your 2nd build you’ll be saying “im gonna change this on the next build”… and so on and so on.
Start planning on a gun safe at some point lol
Glad that build went great… Cheers to the next 10!!
I LOVE the PSA drop-in trigger! Best $90 spent!
Get an LPVO. I have the Sig Tango-MSR 1-6 x 24mm. PSA 16" Mid-length build. This build also has the PSA drop-in trigger. Shooting sub 2 MOA groupings at 50 yards. On the target, the red dot is 1" and the red circle is 3" diameters.
Nice! I ordered the trigger. I also have an LPVO on the way, a Monstrum Spectre 1-6x24. Now I wait.
