Just assembled my first AR.
Upper:
Black Hole Weaponry 18" 6.5 Grendel barrel and bolt
X-Products X-15 side charging upper
Diamondhead VRS-T 10.25" Rail
Diamondhead low profile gas block
Melonited mid length gas tube
WMD nickle boron coated AR15 bolt carrier
DPMS firing pin
Lower:
Spikes Crusader forged lower
Magpul MOE rifle stock
DPMS buffer tube
CTS engineering AKTIVE anti tilt rifle recoil buffer
Anderson rifle spring
Houge beavertail grip
Red Barn Armory lower parts kit
Magpul battery assist device
Hiperfire Hipertouch EDT triger
Sights/Optics/extras:
Burris Eliminator 3.5x10
Magpul mbus pro offset sights
3bucc brass catcher
Harris bipod
I originaly tried to get it to run with a Syrac piston conversion but I think I have a faulty gas block. I re-positioned it 8 times to try to get alignment correct but it consistently short stroked and would not lock back on the last round. I tried enlarging the gas port to .0938 and still no joy so now I'm a bit over gassed. The CTS buffer is a bit heavy 6.4 ozs so its not too bad throwing brass @ 3 oclock.
I'm shooting just around 2 MOA @100 yrds with it so I'm not super impressed so far. I know a lot of that is me. I have not shot a rifle in years so I'm badly out of practice. Last time I shot an AR was 1992.
1st string 8 shots 120grn PPU: 3 moa all over the place

I'm planning to reload but still need to buy a press and shoot some more factory ammo for brass.
