Re: My New AR-15 build...
Nice. Good looking gun.
Aside from springs and such, the only things that really wear out (without breaking) are barrels, I wouldn't expect any problems with the veteran parts.
If you're serious about the adjustable stock, check out the Vltors. It's a personal preference thing, but I prefer the Clubfoot over any of the Magpul stocks, the Crane/LMT SOPMOD, or the "CAR" style stocks.
Whose bipod mount are you using? I've been looking for one, but haven't been able to put my hands on one yet.
Re: My New AR-15 build...
DPB: this is almost the 90th AR I built...I'm not at all worrried about "veteran parts"...I can about build these things with my eyes closed these days, including barreling the uppers.
the one i built before this is another DPMS, and i used the original barrel and bolt from my Colt m16....that was made in 1971.
shoots great.
the barrel was mine from an old SporterII Colt I had that i put a old skinny barrel on.
as for the stock, I dont like the Vltor stuff, it has a very cheap feel to me, and it looks kinda cruddy in my opinion also.
I'm happy with the magpul stuff, i have 2 of the M93 collapsing stocks on guns now...I sold a Magpul MSS on a gun last year, that was a sweet stock.
the bipod mount I got is a first samco, it fully supports the front, side, and rear of the harris bipod so it doesn't mess up anything on the gun itself
Re: My New AR-15 build...
yeah you have a very slick collection jaybell, most impressive, i kinda like the way that ar looks with a solid stock, it goes better with that heavy scope you got on it. You just a collector or do you sell some stuff as well?

I'm a shooter, not so much a collector.
I dont really have any safequeens.
I have a collection, but they all get shot:D
I do very little selling, when i do, its to buy something else more interesting
