It is finally happening!
It is finally happening! I just placed a order through precision firearms for an 18 inch nitrided 6.5 Grendel Criterion Barrel!
A little back story.
I have been gathering parts for this build since i was 18. On my 18th birthday my mother plopped in front of me an Anderson mfg upper and lower receiver and a Spikes tactical LPK and told me to enjoy. I have have been slowly gathering parts one at a time ever since. I am now 22. It has been so slow going because i am a college student trying to get a master degree in mechanical engineering . My birthday was the second. I had only had part of the funds for the barrel so my mother said this build is taking to long and told me happy birthday and gave me the rest of the funds i needed. This will be my first AR15, my inspiration for this build was a love child between the M110 SASS and the MK12 mod 1.
I now have all of the major parts i need(well when they come in anyway). They are as following:
- Precision Firearms 18 inch nitrided 6.5 Grendel Criterion Barrel
- Geissele 15 inch Mk8 SMR, black
- Geissele super gas block(came with the rail)
- Palmetto state armory premium bolt carrier group
- alexander arms hard use 6.5 grendel bolt
- Griffin armament OTB muzzle break ( for a future form 1 reflexive can)
- RAPTOR ambi charging handle
- Anderson mfg upper and lower receiver
- spikes tactical LPK with A2 pistol grip( i think it is an A2 grip, but it seems fatter then i remember them. It is actually fatter than the ERGO suregrip on my mothers AR15. But it really doesnt matter as it fits my hand well)
- A2 Buttstock with standard rifle buffer and spring(probably going to get an extra power Springco buffer spring)
- 2 E-lander 17 round mags( i need to get more when i get more money as i am completely tapped out for a while)
I plan on putting a primary arms 4-14x44 FFP scope it and saving up for a SWFA 3-15x44 FFP scope along with an atlas bipod.
What does the group think of this build? Do you see any flaws or potential problems i am over looking? Also does anyone know of a cheaper place to get the E-lander magazines from? Alexander arms is a bit heavy with the tax and shipping.
