New Mushroom Hunter

[jdmidwest]

With Ness and the MDC getting me all skeered about all the big carnivores stalking the outdoorsmen, I thought I would up my firepower.

It started with some components. 3 beers later and some cussing of the roll pins, TADA! My first AR build.

DPMS mil spec lower, LT lower parts kit, UTG 6 position stock, 1 in 8 twist stainless 16" heavy barrel, free float alum handguard, flat top gas block and receiver, mil spec receiver with forward assist and dust cover, TruGlow 4x32 mil dot scope with quick detach mount, UTG bipod, UTG led light and red laser, Voodoo Tact 2 pt sling system. I need to pick up a slanted attachment point and I can add my QD Compact red dot scope.

AR modular platforms are really interesting, I have been wanting to build one for a while. Next additions are a standard M4 upper, a 6.8 spc upper, and maybe a 9mm. The nice thing is that configurations are endless and lots of customizations. Things have really changed since my first purchase of my Colt A2 back in the 80's.

ATTA BOY ! Slammin' beers and building guns, with carnivore fantasies dancing in your head...... That my friends is the Redneck American way! Almost brings a tear to the eye. LMAO

I had to blame it on the carnivores. The real reason is the upcoming election is causing another shortage of firearms, ammo, and parts. I thought I would act now while I could still get the components. Probably won't be any in Nov, when I need it for hunting.

I was looking at a complete, optics ready compact for about a month and weighing the option to build. In the last month, supply has diminished, parts are getting hard to come by. Ruger and Smith and Wesson are extremely backlogged in orders. Most distributors are back ordered too.
