Re: His and Hers - AR15 Fraternal Twins
Those are incredibly cool rifles! I showed your other thread to Mrs. PAcarrier last night and she really digs your wife's rifle. Definitely considering the lowers - those are way cool. And the muzzle brake is a no-brainer. I expect 2 or more of those in the near future. Nicely done!

Re: His and Hers - AR15 Fraternal Twins
Thanks.
I like her rifle too! I even like the color! The photos don't do it justice - it's much more PURPLE - like "grape" - not how it looks here. To me, it looks more blue-ish in these pics. Maybe it's hard to photograph because it's anodized - sort of a matte/shine finish.
When this whole project started I asked if she wanted something "custom" like all the "pink" guns they market to the ladies. "Yes, but I don't want pink - I want PURPLE."
I found those funky "cutout" designs with swirly patterns and scrollwork (google "gun goddess handguard") and she liked a few of those and they offered Cerakote colors, so purple was an option, BUT once adding the color, the damned things came to $300!
I was willing to spend a little more on select parts for her to get it as light and easy to shoot as I could, but that's just a bit much.
This purple ALG handguard was $93 shipped. (which was only a $15 upcharge over the black version) The good part was that she actually liked the color when it arrived. WHEW!I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Congrats on finishing up! I really am digging your wife's rifle. The purple looks great, and a lightweight 5.56 is very versatile.

Nice builds! I'm even happier to see that you didn't put them on gravel.

Re: His and Hers - AR15 Fraternal Twins
Beautiful builds Emptymag. I love the way they look with the GWACS lowers. Especially the wife's with the PMAG 20 Gen 3. They look incredibly handy and utilitarian. I only hope my GWACS build can go together so well.

Re: His and Hers - AR15 Fraternal Twins
Thanks!
Nothing fancy - just a few choice upgrades to get a little more out of them.
The 20 rd mags made the most sense since the goal was to reduce weight. I mean, I could go with 10 rounders, but I think these will be fine.
Each will eventually get red dots, and the 7.62x39 will get a paint job, but for the most part they are about as "done" as they are going to get.
I just posted in the lightweight thread that it turned out perfectly - light, low recoil, and the muzzle doesn't move.
I'm really happy with how it shoots.
Still need to work a bug out of the 7.62 though - not detonating all the primers.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: His and Hers - AR15 Fraternal Twins
For those who actually got to see the purple handguard before Photobucket blocked all photos from displaying on forums unless I pay them $400 a year, the ALG Defense COLOR handguards are being clearanced/discontinued.
Buy fast if you want purple, grey, or desert dirt.

Re: His and Hers - AR15 Fraternal Twins
Here's a few pics until I can get all the others re-hosted with another service. Photobucket can choke and die for what they did to everyone.
Took both carbines out on Independence day.
It was nice having Mrs EM join me at the range. It was even nicer having a rifle that she could actually shoulder and shoot.
