My new(ish) serious social rifle.

[VUPDblue]

So I had a need for a reliable rifle that had to fit a certain set of requirements. Those requirements were that it be cal.5.56, have a light and be mag-fed. I decided to go with an AR-15 style rifle because that's what I am most familiar with.
This rifle is a 10.5" LMT upper with a V-Tac forend, a SureFire light in a V-Tac mount, an Aimpoint T-1 micro on a LaRue I-beam QD mount, MI backup iron sights and an Ace stubby foregrip.
This rifle is very light, accurate and easy to shoot. Enjoy the pic...

Did I shoot that one a couple weeks ago?

 

[VUPDblue]

Why yes, yes you did!

 

[sgreen3]

That is nice! Well done, do you know the weight on it?

 

[VUPDblue]

It weighs 7.25 pounds empty.

 

[sgreen3]

Wow, that is light. Id like to do something like that for my next build.

Nice rifle! What model is that light and what made you decide on it?

 

[VUPDblue]

It's a SureFire G2X and I decided on it because it is very bright, light, rugged and has push-button activation.

I was looking at the same light too. It's for my 6920. I have a $150 credit at Grainger and was thinking about that particular light. I was also looking at the 6px, too. I'm limited by the choices from Grainger.

 

[VUPDblue]

Either of those lights should serve you well.

Very nice!!!!

The little Aimpoint is ay cooler than I expected it to be. I think I could prefer it over the Comp models.

 

[esrice]

Looks good Nick! It should serve you well.

Does that rail section have a QD slot?

I too didn't see a need to switch from the Comp models to the Micro, until I did. Wow!

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Lust, lust. I assume you got the stamp for the SBR...

 

[SmileDocHill]

I got to shoot that also, and it was a joy to shoot! My Ar15 has a 24" SS heavy barrel so your rifle and mine pretty much cover the two extremes as far as the AR15 platform. It was nice to feel the contrast.

Been eyeballing the VTAC handguard for a little while now...what's your thoughts on it thus far?

 

[03A3]

Nice AR you have there. Real nice.
Wondering about the VTAC handguard as well.
That upper should run well. LMT got it right. I've bought them with both the SA and FA bolt carriers.
Those little G2-series Surefires are nice.
I believe that light mount is the same that I used to put a G2 on an M1 Carbine (w/ Ultimak). I'd have to look.
Have you held the 10.5 " LMT CQB MRP?

I've never been around that optic mount. I take it that it is the same height as a standard LaRue tall mount, with lower 1/3 co-witness? I'm not familiar with your sights either so just don't know.
Never had any dealings with a T-1, but considerable time spent with the H-1. I hear they're pretty much the same, at least for the purposes I would be using them. No night vision here.

I really like the rail. I like that it is light and has a small diameter and isn't railed all the way around.

 

[VUPDblue]

Looks good Nick! It should serve you well.

Yeah, the front rail has a QD slot. I just need to get a swivel and I'm all set. I have the sling ready but just haven't got the front swivel point at this time.
