Thank man!

Pic also added to first post.

Hey guys... So I took the trigger out to get a close look at it and the trigger says " HI-Speed NM Trigger" I ordered the DMR. I know the Hi- Speed DMR, Match, and Service are all the same and that they just use different springs, but will each say its name like the other triggers?? The pack it came in was instructions for hi-speed National Match and then the sticker with bar code from midway says DMR part num 414466. I was just wondering if I got the right one because the actual trigger doesnt say DMR. THose of u that got them, please chime in. I also ask because when I was shooting it, I had not messed with the adjustments yet and it felt CRAZY LIGHT!!!!!

Sent that SSA-E back and got the DMR. Great trigger so far. It was on the lightest setting. It was definitely a "surprise" when it fired. Im gonna add some pull weight. Very nice trigger tho.

Bump... Open to trades.

So not sure why Im still awake.... Me and a couple buddys got off work this AM and got our stuff and headed to Sacramento Valley Shooting Club. None of us have been there.... THis place is awesome! We arent members so we just showed up and shot the 100 yard rifle range. In order to shoot the 300 yard rifle range, they told us we have to "qualify" by shooting a 5 shot group like 5" at 100 yards or something... cant remember. Anyways.... I sighted my scope in and then took my target to get my 300 yard card. So obviously this was my first time shooting this rifle. I took with me 50 rounds of 7.62x51 Ball ammo. and 100 rounds of Sierra Gold Match 175gr HPBT. I started off with the Ball ammo... first round fired but did not eject. I closed down the gas block. Next round fired and ejected. Shot a few more and it was poop ammo. It ejected fine but would not feed each time. My buddy gave me the ammo so I didnt expect too much. I know the failure to eject was the adjustable gas block was open too much. I basically closed it down and had no ejection problems the rest of the day. I only shot maybe 25 of the ball..... it was about a 6-7in group at 100 yards. Was all over the place. I know the rifle is brand new, I was using some brand new DPMS 10 round mags.... the ball ammo just really wouldnt feed. Im not sure if it was the mags or just shitty ammo. Not sure. So I started to shoot the SGM 175gr. This ammo was legit, fed everytime and ejected fine. I really like this ammo. My 5 shot groups at 100 yards before moving to the 300 yard range were 1-1.5". My groups were MOA or just under at 200 yards and 230 yards. I was starting to get fatigued as I have been up since 11am Friday. I did shoot at 300 but was about 1-1.5 MOA for a few groups. I kept messing with things... I ended up taking my scope off and moving it back. Screwed everything up. Im still trying to get the PRS adjusted just right for me. I shot the whole day with the scope slightly cocked left in the rings... lol. I eye balled that one. Its my first day shooting the rifle... Theres lots of adjustments that I gotta get right. All in all.... I fvcking love this thing!!! ---The Atlas bipod is really nice.... lots of adjustment. ---This Geissele Hi-Speed DMR is CRAZY light!!! OMG!! I literally just put the thing in the day before. Im reading more on the trigger and I will figure out the right setting. Its set at whatever they come from the mfg. I think I would like to see a little more travel in the first stage... It is sooooo short. Almost hard to tell its even a 2 stage. The second stage is so damn light that its really easy to just pull all the way thru. Not sure... gotta read up. It is super smooth tho!!! One hell of a surprise boom tho. --- I have the thicker but pad on the PRS and the big muzzle break sure makes this rifle smooth with little felt recoil. --- Im gonna order the APEX bottom rails. The magpul ones are really thick and the screws stick up and contact the gas block. They are a little pricey but screw it. ---I gotta say, this vortex scope is really nice. The turrets are really beefy and they feel really solid. The glass is very very nice. Ill be putting the same scope on my wifes 223. Sorry if I rambled. But Im very happy with this build. Ill probable take it out to the Richmond range to re sight my scope and make all my final adjustments.

Taking the the rifle out for the first time tomorrow. Going to Sacramento valley shooting center. Can't wait. Was waiting on the new trigger to come. Went with the dmr. Can't wait to shoot this thing!!

Bump... Nobody needs an upper??

Buy it! Then you wont have to be sad. Lol. I finished my rifle. I still have my other matched set. I dont need this one right now. Im not gonna build it and I figured someone else could use it.

Im selling a new SI-Defense upper. This is a gen 4 or whatever is the latest series. I have a forward assist in it and will include it in sale. I only used this for mock up. Nothing ever fired thru it. Asking 250$ shipped in ConUs. Im open to some trades as well. Let me know.

Finally finished putting the rifle together the other night. I changed my mind on a few things and so i had to wait for the exchanged items. I sent the 12.5 inch hand guard back for the 15"... looks way better and it completely covers my gas block. I ended up doing some more research on triggers and sent my Geissele SSA-E back and went with the Hi-Speed DMR. Im hoping to take it out next weekend. Ill try and get some pics up of the completed rifle this week.

Welcome!

Ordered the SSA-E

SSA-E or HI SPEED MATCH??? I'm leaning towards the SSA-E. what are your experiences with them? I'm gonna order the trigger tonight once I decide

Si defense sent me a new matched set. My upper and lower had a gap. They Sid they wanted it back. I gotta swap the LPK over. Never fired yet. I suppose it will b find then

Well can u? I need to swap lowers, can I reuse the kit. I ask as I've never done it. Once I've installed the LPK's. they stay in. I just wonder if the pins are jacked after

Thx guys. I ordered the 15" handguard and rail from Brownells. Gonna send the 12.5" back. The look just kinda bothered me.

My barrel came today and I took a look at how things will look. I have the JP clamp low pro gas block with the 12.5" apex hand guard and FA 18.5" barrel. The gas block is pretty much exposed completely. I was wondering if I could get some pics of your rifles with the same or similar barrel and your long hand guards. I think I might want to have the gas block covered by the hand guard. Im debating sending the 12.5" back for the 15" one. Thanks guys!

Any update on what the solution was? New upper? Was it the lower? Bad pin?

I watched a bunch of youtube videos and reviews. I was looking at a few different ones with one being a cheap 30$ one. As far as looks it was between the Harris, GG&G, Atlas. I went full retard and went with the atlas. Lots of accessories for the atlas as well. DIfferent feet, option to buy the 3" leg extensions. Lots of adjustability. So I went that route. GG&G was my next choics. I actually like how it puts the legs forward of the mounting location. But, Atlas won.

Ordered the Larue Scope mount. Got the QD Lt745 for 30mm tubes, 20 MOA cant. Shipped out today. So now the rifle should be ready to shoot this weekend! I gotta get the bipod. Not sure im sold on spending 2-300 dollars for one of these fancy ones. They are nice, but are they really worth it? I mean... its just a portable "bench rest" right? Harris are nice... not way over priced... seem bulky GG&G are really nice, but damn expensive. Atlas.... FULL RETARD then the cheapos... Im sure they work OPINIONS???

Ok... so 20 MOA. I was looking on vortex's site. There mounts dont have that option it seems. I was looking at the larue. Ill keep looking when I get up. I want to get the mount and bi pod ordered in the AM. What bipod do you have?? Specs?

Im still trying to decide on a scope mount. I want to shoot long distance with the rifle. 1) Because of my scope choice, would you guys recommend a 20 MOA cant mount? 2) One piece mount or rings? 3) Quick disconnect or permanent? --- Will the Quick disconnect cause the scope to lose its zero if removed and re-mounted at the same rail location? I bought 2 Magpul rail's today after I went shooting. One is for a Magpul AFG to go on the Apex hand guard, and then the other is the little short one for a bi pod. I got the Apex 12.5" one for the top. I figured Id go with the Magpul for the bottoms as the Apex ones are pricey.

I found it in stock everywhere really. Only went with cameraland cuz they hooked it up for 850 shipped. Tracking says it will be here on 5/1

Im up at my brothers in Roseville. Im gonna see if Sac Black Rifle or Sportsmans warehouse has a bi pod for sale since they are a block away. I was thinking the Harris. I like the one with the swivel on it.
