New AR-15 build!

[edweird]

Ill let ya know after I put some rounds down range... first impression of the craftmanship is top notch, the engraving is insanly crisp and the lower parts I had him install are the DPMS parts I had ordered. Im convinced its a quality lower and am looking forward to shooting it.

my only, and I mean ONLY complaint is I dont feel the anno shop he sends his lowers off to is the best, and being paintball snobs I think we know a good anno when we see it.

regardless im very happy with it so far, Ill post something after my inital break in

That's a nice looking AR, Ed. How's the fit between the upper and lower?

How's the fit between the upper and lower?

pretty much deadon as far as I can tell prior to shooting it. the rear takedown pin is in that sweet spot of needing ever so slight punching to get removed but after my breakin regiment this weekend it should be right where it needs to be. Lewis Machine and Tool makes on hell of an upper imho.

I went down to Scottsdale Gun Club today with a chapter brother Mobius and put some rounds downrange with our spanky new AR-15's... Also I managed to meet one of our newest members, Nescoupe... who I come to find out lives damn near a stones throw from me.
sorry not much of a range report, but here it goes...

showed up @ 1015ish and tried to find moe, figured he was already putting rnds downrange so inquired at the range desk. The range officer on staff knew immediatly who I was talking about said "his group" was on the far left bay, and he could get me in with them. Splendid! So I picked up a couple boxes of Federal 55gr target elcheapo ammo, I figure that for setting my irons that would do nicely. Also I scored some 25m zeroing targets at the desk they would make the process as painless as possible.

first group of five was 4 MOA low, a couple clicks of the front sight and I was making that simulated 300m zombie tremble in terror. Hands down it was the least painfull time I ever had initally zeroing a M-16/AR-15.

My rifle preformed flawlessly, and I couldnt be happier. So on the way out I picked up some Hornady 75gr "practice" ammo and treated my USN-15 to some small upgrades [Fobus stock saddle and Badger ord tac charging handle latch].

sorry no pics this time, thought moe posted he was shooting at 12 and when I found out it was 10 I was far from ready and forgot my digital camera. Regardless it was good times with good friends, made some new friends and put some rounds downrange to boot.

excellent day imho
