Steele67 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Hello all, New to the forum. I am looking to learn a lot from you all. Just starting to build a BRO Fallout 10 upper/lower set. Waiting on my BCG, charging handle, LPK. Its all in pieces on the bench. Will post some pictures when it looks like an AR. Would like to hear from those that have built the BRO FO 10 platform, not wanting to repeat history. Take care.
DNP Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Welcome from San Diego. Look forward to seeing you get that build together.
sketch Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Welcome from Wa. Parts pix are good to go bro we have a better idea what you are looking at :)
98Z5V Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Welcome, Homie! Where in Southern OH? Originally from Zanesville, left in '86, and haven't lived there since...
Rsquared Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Welcome aboard steele. I've got one of those BRO sets waiting to go together also. I like the way they look. At least mine seemed pretty well machined. Not in the biggest of hurries to push this build to the front of the line just yet though. I've got parts for other rifles (that don't include bipods) that I need to get ahold of first. Like sketch said though. Feel free to throw out any ideas that you have of parts you either have, or want to get. This crowd will help out in any way that we can...............in helping to empty your wallet that is.
beachmaster Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Do you already have a barrel? Robocop should come on here and post a suggestion! I had the bro 18" mid length spiral fluted barrel, and it looked good and shot well, but it was very heavy. I am excited to see you build, and welcome to the forum!
Steele67 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Posted January 25, 2014 98Z5V, moved to the Dayton area in 2010, before that 10 years in Germany. Will post some pics when some more parts arrive this next week, until then here is the list I'm working with. I may go with a Black Hole barrel (I think they make the BRO barrels) depends on price and the SLR Keyhole mod FF instead of the BRO grip, but have not decided. AR15 Build Price List.pdf
beachmaster Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Ill tell you now that my bro barrel was 3.9lbs, and it was very front heavy. I believe Robocop posted a Fulton armory barrel, ill look for the link. He said he recommends it to everyone. Its a 16" rifle length barrel that weights like 2.1lbs. Ill see if I can find it.
