Just got to test it out and zero it today. Shoots pretty good and stays on target nicely. I just need to learn how to run one of these. Seekins lower. Vltor MUR upper. Criterion 16" hybrid barrel. Precision Armament M11 SPR brake. SLR adjustable gas block. Geissele SSA-E. Rainier Arms Match...

I don't care about the brass so much either. Just wondered what the difference was. So far the gun runs fine. This is my first go at setting one up so I'm not totally sure what the interactions are in the system between mass, spring rate, gas pressure etc. It's been a good learning experience so...

If I go down a couple clicks on the gas block it won't lock back on the last round. I have an LWRC that is over gassed to the point that it kicks the brass out in front of the firing line and it's brass comes out looking great. This new rifle's got a standard weight rifle buffer and spring right...

Went to the range with it today to tune the gas and get it on paper. Not enough time to really try to dial it in or get a feel for shooting it off hand but managed to heat it up a little and at least get it working and hitting at 50y. I took my 4 1/2 year old son to the range for the first time...

I'd like to shoot that Armalite. It would be interesting to try running some transition drills or a short course with it compared to the 18" rifle I just built. I'm no competitive shooter though, just spit balling. This barrel looked cool to me. I may build another upper soon and use it to see...

That's what I'm talking about. Kind of a pain in the butt if you ever want to try another muzzle brake besides the factory one. I'm sure the shorter barrels are handier and transition faster though. If it's a truly kick ass brake then maybe no one will ever want to change it but gun owners are...

Looks like a nice piece. Gotta say though that I hate pinned and welded stuff. Maybe that's the perfect barrel/brake combo but now that I've switched muzzle devices on my 14.5" LWRC once I don't think I want to mess with it again. That SLR does look like a nice hand guard. I was going to build...

Ok I thought this would be a cool project and maybe I could get to some 3 gun matches in 2015 instead of shooting USPSA all year. Never messed with a rifle like this before so hopefully the results will be good. Maybe I'll get some range time tomorrow. Anyway, thought I'd share. Build: Seekins...

Damnit, now I need a logo for my benelli.

I actually had a build planned out but wasn't sure if I should count on taking my first home built AR to matches and expecting it to run awesome. That and the way I figured the cost it would be similar to the TTI rifle. I don't know anything about Satern barrels but had considered using an...

Well I guess that settles it then. I'm sold on the BDC now so may as well get the vortex.

Sounds like the best thing about a BDC is it's just less cluttered than a MIL reticle. Either way you have to know your holds and make sure you compensate for the intermediate distances.

No, they don't advertise it on their website. From talking to them it's got: JD lower JP trigger Vltor upper 16" or 14.7" Criterion barrel with custom gas block and muzzle brake KMR handguard Custom Bolt Vltor Stock Supposed to be the same thing Taran shoots, you know how that goes. Flattest...

Anybody here tried one or own one? I've been looking at getting a new AR to use for some 3 gun matches and thought this rifle looked like a nice piece. I'm just wondering if anybody here has bought or shot one and if it's all it's supposed to be. I know there are some decent factory 3 gun...

Thanks for the input. I'm leaning heavy towards that scope. I am planning on ordering a TTI rifle and they push the Trijicon 1-4 with the triangle reticle as a complete package but I'm no Taran Butler, and I think having hash marks for holds might make more sense for me.
