jtallen83 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 I'm gonna try a polymer lower from Tennessee Arms to lighten my next build. They will be available in 4 weeks or so. Only $75 to buy it now. I'm still not sure which free floating forend would be the lightest yet though. Keep us posted on the experiment!
washguy Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 What I want to know is how. Armalite was getting that thing to under 6 lbs in the first place!!Thats a lofty goal even for an AR15!That weight is very achievable ...ive got two ar308's that have 16" barrels and weigh in at 6lbs without scope and 8 lbs with scope Wash
cwikjr Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Posted September 13, 2015 Thought I'd update on how my rifle looks finished.Here are a few pictures.I have around 500 rounds through it now.Just finished up a 16 inch carbine with a collapsible stock it's a tad lighter than this one.It runs real well had to go with a H3 buffer and 8 inch buffer tube to make it run reliably.
98Z5V Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Damn great job - that rifle looks very nice. Great work on the coloration!
MikedaddyH Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 That looks very nice ! Beautiful workmanship.
jtallen83 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Got that classic look big time. Does she shoot as good as she looks?
cwikjr Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Posted September 13, 2015 Actually the color of the Duracoat was supposed to match a chocolate brown stock set from a ArmaLite AR-10.It wasn't even close to the color on the color chart after it dried on the hand guards so I sprayed a A2 stock and A1ish grip I acquired also the magazine. At first I was unhappy with the color but I've grown to like it a lot.I added a Battle Arms serrated mag release button. It almost looks like the original AR-10 mag release. It's a bit longer to and works better in my billet lower receiver.It shoots very well I've gotten some good groups out of it with the cheap MKE 7,62x51. When i have time I'll take it out with some Gold Medal Match ammo I have to see how good it really shoots.
survivalshop Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 Looks good . Color looks like the Bakelite Mags for my AK .
weflyplanes Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 If you want a good fit skip the Tennessee arms lower. I have one and its disappointing. Gap between lower and upper.
