Built my first AR

Post by KHickam »

Well I finished it

Anderson stripped blemished lower, Spikes lower parts kit - PSA upper reciever - S&W 5.56 1/8 5R A4 barrel assembly Magpul MOE furniture - in Flat dark earth - BCM Bolt carrier group and BCM ambi charging handle and ambi safety

Zeroed it yesterday - shoots about 1" groups at 50 yds - so I am happy with it - I want to get a Vortex Strikefire for it

Next we need to finish my wifes build - Anderson stripped blemished lower, CMMG lower parts kit - still have to get the upper assembly probably a PSA Premium M4 upper

I like Vortex products and have both a 4-16x50 Viper PST FFP MRAD and a 15x50 Recon R/T monocular and they are great. But I also have a Strikefire, and it is junk. I wouldn't waste your money on it. If it is a small and lightweight red dot that you're looking for, give HOLOSUN a look. I've handled one and looked through it, and it was impressive at the price point ($235), and had an even clearer dot that an Aimpoint Micro:

Check out the Primary Arms MD-ADS... same as the Holosun that Annoyed Man posted, but with a few changes, such as the battery on the side instead of the bottom. A little less, and Primary Arms stands behind the product.

sorry, didn't notice the Holosun above has auto brightness adjustment... so not quite the same model.
