My First Project

[ukerduker]

I took alittle trip down to Winchester TN today and finally got to meet Joe, Dan, and one worn out little dog. After alot of indecision and "maybe I should or maybe I shouldn't buy it thoughts", I settle on these couple items. I decided to build my SBR now. I went with the Yankee Hill Specter upper. It has folding iron sights, GG&G in the back, and YHM in the front. I topped it off with my CompM3 (2MOA) Aimpoint sight. I strapped a 2-cell Pentagon light to the front. Joe tried to get me into all the cool guy add-ons, but I like my setups simple. (I guess I'm not "tacti-cool".) The Stock is a collaspable Tapco. The lower will be the Spikes Tactical with the DPMS parts kit.

You suck!

[Guest eyebedam]

Yep You Suck.

Are you left handed?

[Guest VolDaddy]

Very nice!

Daddy like.

[ukerduker]

Are you left handed?

No, I'm not. I know I will be moving that light until I find its perfect spot. For now I mounted it there.

You suck!

Hey Reef, don't worry, you will be with me when I go out and shoot it the first time. I wouldn't leave you out of this fun!!

Now the waiting game. With any luck I might see Santa delivering my stamp and my Spikes Tacktical lower. To me this ATF check is just a formality....I have been printed 6 times and completed 3 full background checks in the last 10 months. One more won't hurt. I should be in the 10 items or less express-lane for checkout!!

Thanks Junglist for posting the pics. I could not get them to come up.

Well, once you get that AR built, you and I can ensure Hendersonville will be a safer place to live.

Did I miss something on why a light is bad positioned on the left for righties?

Is this a trick question? Is there a mandatory configuration I was not made aware of? Did I break the "tactic-cool" code of honor?

I like that a lot...very nice and clean.

Thats what I was wondering!...

I love reading the comments when someone gets a new toy. Between the "I would have done it this way" and "I'm jealous" comments, I simply laugh. Joe at Hero Gear recommended the pistol style grip, but I never liked the one I had when I was in the Army. I opted to just place my light, with a on/off switch on the aft end, right on the forearm. To me, thats the cleanest looking setup. Plus the forearm seems to have a menacing appeal to it. Mine will be a MBR (menacing black rifle) instead of the typical EBR (evil black rifle).

Nice !! Did you leave room to mount a GPS and Sat phone?

Nice !! Did you leave room to mount a GPS and Sat phone?

Nope, not required in my book. A map and a compass and I will be fine. The female voice on the GPS giving the "turn right in 500m" might give away my position. I am trying not to think about this purchase until I get a call from Hero gear.....telling me my stamp has arrived. If I don't think about it, it will happen sooner. All I know is my XMAS might be damn good this year!!

On a separate issue, TUES will determine if my supressor must be purchased NOW.

Yes you did therefore when you get it all built I am going to have to confiscate it from you

Damn "tacti-cool" bylaws get me everytime. I can't just give it up Hunting101, but I might let ya shoot it after I get my stamp.

[Guest gcrookston]

looking forward to seeing your build. I finally finished mine using a 16" upper and Tactical Innovations lower.
