#custom ar15

I just realized that @mou1age and I have our A1 lowers set up almost the exact same, functionality-wise:

A2 pattern stock

Retro aftermarket A2 pattern storage grip

20-rounder

2-position notchless selector

Both made by Nodak Spud, but through different companies

Only difference is his has an upper to go with it and mine doesn't lol

Quick DIY sling keepers to replace the shitty, annoying cinch straps I was using before

Can be popped open with the hook facing either up or down by either gripping and ripping the ball toggle or slipping a finger under the hook and lifting it, respectively

The FDE Anderson lower is growing on me again for this build

I think people should start referring to mid-tier x39 AR's as 'SPR-V' builds, in reference to the SOCOM Special Purpose Receiver Variant program to adopt a 7.62x39 Carbine in the early 2000's

mostly just because 'AR47' feels weird to me as a name since the AR15 obviously wasn't designed in 1947 lol

shoutout to @themaliklucas for holding onto that Forward Control Designs RHF4 Quadrail and selling it back to me; it really makes this build

I really love the A1 Lower/A2 stock combo, but I also have the poverty pony lower with an H2 buffer on standby in case a rifle buffer doesn't cycle as efficiently (I don't see why it shouldn't though)

Assuming it does, I'll probably donate the H2 Buffer to @mou1age since he recently got an FRT, which tend to run better with heavier buffers. Tungsten shortages have decimated the AR buffer market and we all must do what we can

LE6920 again, 'keep it simple' setup

It's fall you know what that means Pumpkin spice flavored rifles 🎃

I recently swapped out my 'Desert Dirt Color' Geissele Mk16 Rail for a black one on my build, so it got handed down to @bureau-of-mines to replace the Geissele Mk8 he had on there prior.

Same same but different

Moulage's build with the Romeo 5 and standalone white light comes in at 7.2lbs while my build with the heavier ACOG and DBAL A2 weighs around 8.4lbs. Both rifles weighed without mags or batteries.

Muzzle device timing and suppressor alignment!

Another thing I recently changed on my 11.5" is the switchology -

I originally had this set up with a Surefire SR07-D-IT Dual Pressure Pad, but swapped it out for a Surefire ST07 Switch/Cloud Defensive LCS on top and an Insight Laser Switch staggered off at the 45.
