AR-10 build

[TANGO2072]

Hey guys

well not really much of a "build" being I already have one.

More of an upgrade to the upper and stock.

As a huge fan of the KAC SR-25 platform. I built my 1st AR-10 off that.

Now...

with the current economy and the cost of ammo. Would it be prudent of me to build an AR-15 ?!, WHY ! ? Is the Q? i've been wracking my brain with over the past few months. In my area, having access to a decent "long range" is next to near impossible. the locals only offer 110yrds at best WOW... what fun,

So with the inevitable "wainting" for the world to end

( China nuke us, RED DAWN or the Zombies ) I figure I want something with some PUNCH and distance.

So i've settled on building an intermediate Urban Assualt Sniper System.

specs are at best;

AR-10 16"

PRI forend ( cause the SPR mod-O look is cool )

or

A LaRue RAS

leupold M3 ( for those wanna reach and touch'ya shots )

Aimpoint MICRO on a LaRaue angled QD mount ( for those too close for comfort shots )

tac-light

Harris BP w/ Claws ( instead of the standard feet )

( Phoenix Tactical )

Magpul ACS stock

she sounds so perrty

Hope to have it "built" by 03 2010., just in time for the Range and possibly some AR-courses.

I like a good solid plan like this. I cant wait to see the pictures.

as for the AR-15's Ive decided to keep a few stripped lowers around just to have. That way I dont shell out a lot of cash up front but Im covered for a while if anything changes. As I find a deal here and there Ill buy a part. Tough to beat the economics of 5.56/.223 ammo

This is the best dipiction of what I hope my AR-10 will look like

when Im done, I think I've settled on a PRI front end and a PRS stock. Looks smooth;

yes I do own a PVS-14, the Scope mount is from TNVC, the parent company to that link and pic. I hope to purchase the  14 mount soon. I have the AP Micro scope mount, but to be honest, with the AP-M sitting that "high", the cheek weld is off. I have considered canting the AP-M down to be along the bottom side, till I saw that LaRue makes a seperate AP-M angled mount. I'm hoping to go that route....

For cheap practice, I'd buy one of the new AR-15 look-a-likes in 22 long rifle. Cheap practice with the ergonomics of an AR to keep muscle memory fresh, and a handy small game and plinking rifle too.

That build sound awesome, can't wait to see her!

So I figured I'd necro-post my own thread....

been awhile, been busy, playing at the Range.

due to hic-ups in the money world, I decided against upgrading it.

here she is as of recently;

Found a Gun Club and joined it in March, we have a 600yd range. So I spend my time out there with a few IPSC targets...
