***OFFICIAL Ingo Lower AR Build Thread***

1/7 it's a PSA barrel, non CHF and is melonite coated. Should be a pretty accurate piece if I do my part. Haven't had a chance to really sit down and try hard with it.

Should be a good barrel. I'm sure like most, it will love 69 SMK's over a nice load of Varget.

I tried some 75 gr Hornady steel match the other day, seemed to like that ok. Had a couple hard primers, but they fired on the second try. Just need a bunch of different ammo types and a free day to test at the range.

And so 16097 begins. Picked up a BCM Upper from a fellow INGOer last weekend. This is a classic case of parts growing into a new gun. I have a stock, grip, some trigger parts, a scope, and YHM suppressor mount.

So now to fill in everything else!

Trying to decide on a bbl. Green mountain Middy SS 1:8 or Ballistic Advantage Middy.

 

[Jludo]

First ever build. Just put an older upper on there for now, waiting on 2 stamps at which point the plan is a 9" 300 blk and anderson megalith suppressor.

I still need to change the A2 (t Mocha gentle) stock to a Magpul one
wow spell check did mess me up!

Had to read that a few times to translate from what AutoCorrect did to ya there!

Ok, got one of my INGO lowers built into about an 85% rifle. My Daniel Defense fixed rear sight should be in Friday or Saturday. And I ordered an American Defense QD mount for my Aimpoint to put the irons in the bottom 1/3. Still looking to see if anyone has a Troy drop in rail or KAC M4 RAS rail to sell me. I'm going for an M4gery utilitarian build here. As you can see in one of the pics, PSA is no longer putting their name on the barrels. FN is actually stamping them. This is a CHF barrel, not sure if they're doing this on the non CHF premium uppers.

Build list:
PSA classic LPK
B5 SOPMOD stock
Aimpoint PRO
Complete PSA M4 16" CHF upper
AIM phosphate BCG with 9310 bolt
Daniel Defense fixed rear sight on order
AD mount for Aimpoint on order
Need Troy or KAC RAS carbine rail

Progress report:

Found a good deal on a used Green Mountain barrel, and had several spare parts laying around to get to this point. Searching for a deal on a BCG and think I found a handguard on the ARFCOM EE that will work. It will be an interesting franken-build of some good parts that I got for good deals. I have a Leupold Mark AR scope to go on it too.

There is an AR in that picture?! Lol I see an M1A and M1's, excellent!

Yeah, happen to be a few of those in there too. Sucks the pick quality is not that good though. I promise the next will be better.

No worries! I do like the AR build so far also, I haven't decided what I will do with mine when it comes in next month. I have a LPK already, planning a Geissele SD-C trigger and that's all I know so far. Lol

I picked up the PSA 18" barrel from their memorial day sale. Now I have a problem! This is my first build, and I had planned on getting a barreled upper assembly to keep things simple. Instead, I have a stripped upper and a naked barrel! I think a build class is in my future once I have all pieces together.

My question is this, now I need a rifle length gas tube and a gas block, right? Is there a good option for a gas block with a front sight? I've only found Rock River Arms Flip Front Sight Gas Block Assembly Matte Black-768075 - Gander Mountain while searching the net.

 

[NyleRN]

Not sure about the gas system on that barrel. You got a link? My guess is it's a mid-length gas system. Do you really want that kind of front sight on an 18" gun? Most who build 18" guns do them as an SPR with a magnified optic. Lo-pro folding sights that attach to the rail are usually the ticket

Lower #15 is getting very close.

PSA AR-15 18" Rifle Length .223 Wylde 1:7 Stainless Steel Barrel - 7791527

I went with the magpul moe rifle length handguard in FDE. I'd like iron sights as a backup but do plan to put optics as primary :-/

 

[NyleRN]

Made some progress. DD rear sight and American Defense QD mount for the Aimpoint came in. Fellow INGOer let me cherry pick his DD Omega drop in rail from an upper he was selling on here. Hopefully that will ship out soon.

Fun build! Believe I'll have something similar.

#15 is done save for the Ingo dust cover.
I need a pin and a spring.....

Looks great, but FYI, you have the rear sight on backwards!
