medic83 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 I suppose I'll start a new build thread. Figured I needed a place to put the pics. This will be a similar build to my last one.
Robocop1051 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 I got to molest that set back in January. It is a work of art. I have to say SI-D is definitely one of the top tier manufacturers in the AR game... right up their with LaRue, LMT, KAC, and LWRCi. I thought about building one when I first saw it, but I'm still happy with my current SI-D. What's your plan for this? Long range? Hunter? Ninja weapon?
medic83 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah...I got one for my brother...got real jealous so I got one for myself. What's funny is mine is 0000066 and his is 0000087. Lol. He ordered before me. Kinda cool imo. I have a 223 si build that is great. I also have my 308 that I built that is a great long range gun. 18.5" criterion rifle gas. Pushing out to 1140 yards last time! Awesome gun. I honestly was gonna kinda mirror the build...maybe different hand guard, different colors...cerakote an invisible pattern. Honestly just had to have it because it was so damn nice! I'm not even left handed. Lol. This is a true ambi set. You can even swap takedown pin sides. Charging handle is as if it was meant for me. It's really what I needed....size is perfect. I thought of a 20" barrel but with my load data, I'm above 2600 fps with my sd at 3.6 I think( gotta check). That's with an 18.5. Sid gas a 16" with rifle gas. Who knows. I gotta see what velocity people are getting with that
survivalshop Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 Nice set . That looks like a proprietary Charging Handle , interesting . I have a Billet Gen II 308 Upper one the rifle I'm building now & its going to have a 18.5 Criterion bbl. . Wish I had the $$ for a 300 win mag.
98Z5V Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 Nice set . That looks like a proprietary Charging Handle , interesting . Yep - medic, does that charging handle latch to the inside of the receiver?... That's cool, and different. Pics of the charging handle, please... out of the rifle... :)) One of these days, I'll build on an SID set - so damn nice...
medic83 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Posted July 13, 2015 Yes it latches on the inside. The ambi sets latch inside. U can still use reg outside latching ones tho. They also sell this charging handle with outside latch. They are working on getting the price down on the charging handle. I didn't care....I didn't mind paying a little more....I wanted it.
survivalshop Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 With a hole going through the Upper Receiver like that , I wonder what kind of gas blow by you could get with using a std out side latch <dontknow> I don't think it would be a problem with their Charging handle or they wouldn't sell it that way , at least I wouldn't think they would . I for one, will be waiting for your review <thumbsup>
ChaseFan9 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 I was just thinking that reminded me of Brian's rear oil port mod <lmao>
medic83 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Posted July 21, 2015 Here's some pics of the charging handle
survivalshop Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 You do know your missing a screw on that Gas Block in the Back ground. <laughs> Nice looking CH .
unforgiven Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Getting you'r mitt's on that CH even with gloves on should be no problem.Looks good bro.
medic83 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 Here's some pics of the finished rifle. The OD one is my original, just put a new 17.25" jp handguard on....seeing if I like it. What do you guys think of it? I had a 15" apex before.. The FDE one is my brothers. It's almost identical to mine other than gas block (slr sentry9), rail (15.5" Odin works), ambi 308 set. I also have another ambi 308 set that I'm slowly building for myself. The lighting is weird but the grips are ergo and they have a rubber overmold and match the magpul stuff quite well in person. I think his rifle turned out nice.
jtallen83 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Very nice! I'd be proud to own either one!
NTXshooter Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Great job there! If you decide to get rid of the Apex, let me know, we might be able to work out a deal.
medic83 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks for the compliments. I sold the apex that was on this 308. I still have one on one of my 556 rifles. I like the JP a lot. I think it looks cool. I like the look of their new rapid configuration handguard too.
unforgiven Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Outstanding job brother Medic.I likey.
