AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[Zephri]

Sold my old Ace Socom stock and bought the mil-spec MOE stock, the buffer tube is a mil-spec Double Star. I'm loving how rock solid it is, it also dropped a decent amount of weight off the carbine.

It now weighs 5 pounds 15 ounces unloaded, I think I may keep the MOE handguards off it for now as I love how light it is.

Thanks for the ACE and Ill soon have pics up. FYI the moe hg's are actually lighter the the stock ones far as I know. Way better shaped as well.

Hey no problem, I'm glad it went to someone who will enjoy it (Not that I didn't, it was just time to move on to something different)!

I don't know about the MOE vs. M4 hadguards but my MOE handguards with the MOE vertical grip installed weigh in at 9 oz while the CAR Handguards that are on it in the pic weigh 3 oz. I'll weigh the MOE without the vertical grip on it to see it it differs, who knows maybe with out that it will weigh 3 oz. too. ><

I don't know why I started weight weening but I'll most likely end up building another upper with a 14.5" lightweight barrel and a permanently attached F/H.

Heh guess it just gives me an excuse to build another carbine. =^,.,^=

Keep in mind that free floating rails can sometimes be lighter than a standard handguard setup, particularly with a different delta ring/barrel nut you can save a few pounds. A few I can name right off the bat; the noveske nsr, the kac urx series, dd lite rail too

Couple more changes since my last pics. I think it's done until the suppressor stamp comes in.

I see the upper pictured is .22 dedicated. Who's is it??

 

[phylodog]

CMMG that I had cut down to match my BCM.

These are really nice looking guns. Gives me to many ideas to help finish mine. Thanks to everyone!

A few that I have put together.

Noveske basic 14.5 pinned upper, gen 2 lower, SSA trigger, A5 buffer, Larue buis.

Noveske basic 16 upper, gen 2 lower, ALG ACT,

S&W lower, Stag lefty upper, YHM rail, ambi controls.

 

[JCatt]

Noveske 8.2 barrel, NSR rail, gen 2 lower ALG ACT, BCM bolt, gunfighter

Tactical Innovations upper/lower. I have since put a Noveske Diplomat 7.5 barrel and Magpul K grip on this. Cerakoted Tungsten by Panacea in Decatur. They did an outstanding job!

22 lr for my wife, have a spare 5.56 upper for when she's feeling more Ginger than Mary Ann! Tactical Innovations lower (sequential to the pistol) CMMG dedicated upper that I put a Samson rail on, Eotech XPS

Will probably get this cerakoted burnt bronze
I have a few more but no pics of them.

Given the current situation, I would venture to say that tub is more valuable than a similar sized tub with an equivalent amount of gold bars.

Yeah, now that's just being cruel.

What kind of 100-200 yd groups does that short of a barrel get?
