[Caleb]

HPT/MPI C158 bolt

Only company I'd trust outside of this rule of thumb is AIM Surplus. They do not HPT as they claim it cuts down the expected life of the bolt by over stressing it. Their BCG's are gtg and they take good care of their customers.

Just ordered my geissele mk4 rail and my bcm charging handle suppose to show up tomorrow. Barrel and/or BCG this weekend.

I'm in the same boat. Trying to decide of I should just pick up a daniel defense m4v11 or build something similar. I'm going after quality of course but also lightweight for maneuverability. Daniel defense offers just what I want for a pretty penny of course.

Here is my ar15 as of this morning...

Those Geissele hand guards are expensive.....but damn they are nice.

Agreed....however, the gas block and barrel nut is included along with barrel nut tool. I was considering a quad rail, but I didn't find it comfortable in my hand.

Looks nice Caleb, I've been following along as I'm planning on starting a build soon.

Sounds addicting... The wife might be sorry she ever said yes

I was talking about the sbr ar9 with a possible suppressor and asked if it would be hers...

Ahh, well played, well played! My wife doesn't like them, not pretty enough

Definitely build. I went PSA and it is a great gun. Shoots great and only cost us $500 with a vortex strikefire red dot. That was a black friday deal a few years back but they still have great deals and you can customize it as needed.

 

[HamYankee]

Buy. Get something and start shooting. You'll eventually replace everything on it anyway!

I had my ar15 at a local gun store for a week as they were suppose to torque my barrel nut and install gas block....but they didn't and I now need this done...crap!

Tell me you never gave them a dime! That's something they should've been able to do while you were there.

If you were closer, I would've done it for you in no time.

Where at in Greene county?

The guy who does all the part installation had something personal come up that would keep away from the business for a few weeks...they were apologetic and I know stuff happens, I don't believe they were trying to be shady.
