Murch7 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 How's it going everybody, I could've sworn I had made a intro thread for myself before but it appears I did not! I am new to the .308 caliber and have pieced together my bare bones rifle so far. It's been a longer road for me between getting married, buying my first house, and crazy hours at work, this build has legitimately gone on for over a year. My rifle is built from a Blitzkrieg tactical "lightweight" 80% lower, matched with an Aero M5E1 upper. Basic parts kits from primary arms, some no name buffer tube, spring, and buffer, Luth-AR fixed stock. Blitzkrieg Tactical's dual ejector black nitride BCG, Bravo Company Mod 4 Charging Handle, Faxon medium taper 18" barrel, Blitzkrieg Tactical octacomp tuneable compensator, and for now, Aero's 12" MLOK M5E1 handguard. Not fired yet, no optics on it yet, haven't even picked up my measley 10 round CA Compliant mags yet. But I'm proud to have put it all together myself. This was my first personal 80% build, though I have helped friend build theirs. Happy to be a part of the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Bay Area? I'm a 707 kid myself, ended up in the 916 though. Get some pics up. Any issues with that 80%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murch7 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yes sir, I spent a handful of year in the deep north 707 but I'm in Contra Costa now. I actually have been having a weird issue that just started when cycling. It feels like the bcg is somehow frozen inside, I can only get like a couple centimeters of pull, ejector door pops down, but that's it. A more rifle savvy friend of mine and I are getting together this week to check it out. Another small issue i found... Not sure how I would've managed it, but I seem to have over bored the safety select switch holes. The switch wiggle around like a loose tooth, but still functions. I'm gonna browse around and see if there's maybe a slightly larger diameter switch??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
