My New .224 Valkyrie is Done!

[E4 No More]

I finally was able to finish my .224 Valkyrie build. This is my first solo AR build. The main parts are:

CMMG lapped upper & Anderson lower with Suregrip tactical deluxe grip and Magpul RS Gen 3 stock

Geissele Hi-Speed National Match Trigger.

Wilson Combat .224 Valkyrie Super Sniper, 22" SS barrel with Precision Armament M11-SPR-5.56 compensator and Troy Industries low-profile gas block.

Brownell's 6.8mm Nitride BCG with Geissele Super charging handle

BCM MCMR 15 handguard w/M-loc

UTG Recon Fles Bipod

Total cost of the build without the scope and mount that I already had was just under $1,800. I can't wait to get some rounds loaded up for it and try it out!

That's a great looking rig.  Hope it shoots at good as it looks.

Does that round index on a 6.8SPC bolt?

Thanks. Yes, it's a necked down case so 6.8 bolt and mags. I picked up a couple of 10-round mags for it too. Apparently, the magazine manufacturer can make a slight difference in OAL according to the YouTube video of a guy that was comparing the 6.5 twist versus the 7 twist on 18" barrels. I have the former with a 22" barrel, however. I should have no problems with heavy bullets.

I'd like to have one in a bolt action.

A re-worked Howa Mini 1500 or CZ 527.

@E4 No More, that's a nice rifle. I'm looking forward to a range report.
