Man that's a good looking piece. Make me want a 12" rail

Thanks. Im very pleases with how it turned out. Im still waiting on two more parts to be finished.

 

[Sin-ster]

Good looker!

As to the lube from BCM-- not sure about the greasy stuff, but they confirmed for me the use of dry lube on the upper, although for the life of me I cannot recall the specific name of the stuff they use. It works, though!

 

[BOSS302]

The final piece....

 

[BOSS302]

Officially finished. Bump to the top for critique.

Looks great! Why the light @ 9 oclock? With a rail that long I would try moving it to 12 and move your front BUIS back a little bit.

Looks like a great blaster!

 

[BOSS302]

Tried it at 12, just didn't feel right. I run a thumb forward grip and the selector for the light is right where my thumb rests.

If you are left handed (judging by the sling postion) moving the light from the 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock might provide you more view of the "target" instead of the light being in your way assuming both eyes open shooting.

PS: Love the aimpoint if I get another 15 I think that is the optic that will sit on top.

Beautiful rifle- very nice job.

I need to put some rounds through it before I do anything. Heck, I might change the whole set-up after a few hundred rounds to get it right. Wish I had access to a shoot house for a little CQB to iron out the light placement. So far though I don't really notice it much with both eyes open. It's definitely a lower profile than a simliar G2 setup which was the alternative, plus with the TLR where it is, my thumb is perfectly placed for "momentary" on/off or strobe.

It's one of those things that a little hands on is the only to feel whats right.

Nice.. I just got another upper 14.5 with a BC 2.0 on it.

I was going to get a 14.5 w/ a 1.5 on it, but I didn't feel like waiting or having it perm attached. I just need to find a place to shoot it. Guess I'll be exploring BZ2 within the next few days...

Try shooting tight around a corner with the light closer to the wall. That is the biggest downside I have with lights in those positions (for me)

I don't know anything about ARs, but that is sechzy.

Yeah, I hear ya on that. If i'm engaging a target I don't want my light on unless it is absolutely necessary. Lights work both ways.

A lot of times, especially in movies/tv shows guys are running down a hallway all lit up. Thats bad juju from how I was taught. Only use your light if you need to, its pretty rare in an urban environment that the level of ambient light is not sufficient. I'm not going to run down a hallway with my light on, thats just retarded IMO, and If I'm going to pie a corner/wall then I'm going to be moving fast enough that light placement should not matter as a light peeking around a corner just screams shoot me. I clear the corner and hit the light if need be.

Rule No. 1 is a fight is you never stop moving. If you do, you die.

This is just my 0.02 worth.

Thats the trick speed and surprise are security. Things like the Quick Peek and Methodical Pie'ing of corners really haven't held up well in the lab of reality. The Military Application is different than the Police application but as always they share some truths. I have tried the 12 O'Clock Light Mount but just never really been able to embrace it. But then I don't like tape switches and pressure pads either so maybe I'm just odd.

 

[goteron]

I like a man that's got a reason for the choice.

Nice gun! Now time for a can!

 

[retreaux]

VERY nice

 

[Sin-ster]

I really like that break/flash hider. Sets off the rest of the rifle.

Not much else to say-- you know we have very similar tastes in AR.

I might finally have an opportunity to shoot it tomorrow, just need to go scope out the new BZ. Hopefully I can get back with a range report tom afternoon.
