Just test fired my first DIY built AR15 upper

Just test fired my first DIY built AR15 upper.
It worked flawlessly, even after sitting in the cold in my trunk all night.

I just wanted something to work with my Trijicon ACOG scope.

Assembly went smoothly with no issues.
This COULD be something addictive!

Parts list:
1. Aero Precision Upper
2. BCM Bolt Carrier Group (MPI) - Auto
3. BCMGUNFIGHTER Charging Handle (5.56mm/.223) w/ Mod 4 (MEDIUM) Latch

4. BCM BFH 16" Mid Length Barrel, Stripped
5. Standard A2 Flash Hider
5. BCM Low Profile Gas Block (steel with set screws) 750
7. Magpul MOE Handguard - MID Length - BLACK

Glad to hear it went well... I built mine all the way up. Nothing like shooting something you have built yourself. Are you into reloading? I just started this past summer. Nothing like shooting your own loads out of a rifle you put together.. I am sure this will not be the end of your building projects. I want to build another upper for mine but may just wait till I have that suppressor for mine for the current one..

I've gathered some reloading stuff and saved my brass over time and am getting ready to get into it.
I built an FNFAL (STG-58) on an Imbel receiver some years back when the parts kits were all matching and pristine.
I'm sure I'll build some more.
