My assault spoon is finally complete

[m21sniper]

Took a few months and a few grand, but my AR build is finally complete.







It's a 16.5" barreled 1:9 twist (chrome lined with M4 feed ramps) Bushmaster XM-15E2S with the following mods:

*Chip McCormick sealed 3.5lb match grade trigger assembly.
*Hogue rubber over molded free floated forearm and overmolded grip
* Yankee Hill flash hider/comp/skull crusher
* Wolff over strength recoil, extractor and mag release springs
*Ambidextrous safety
*Front and rear accuwedges
*635nm red remote pressure activated laser
* Walther PS-55 red dot sight or Trijicon tritium self luminous night sights
*15 LED dual color tactical light with "skull crusher" bezel
*Front sight post left and right rail mounting system
*M7 Bayonet

Magazines:
*1 Beta C 100 rd drum magazine
*15x 30 rd milspec magazines, all with Wolff extra strength mag springs
*4x 20 rd milspec magazines


For home defense scenarios i'm using the civvie version of 77gr OTMBT Mk262 Mod1 ammo as issued to US SPECOPS. The stuff i have is made by Doubletap. I also have a couple boxes of Federal LE 55 gr JHPBT rounds as issued to the NYPD SWAT team.

For "zombie" type scenarios i have a stockpile of approx 1000 rds of M193 and M855.

These things are expensive.....

PS: I see my toe!

Same amount of time as it takes to field strip a stock M4.

Thanks Rick!

Damn.... That red dot is mounted pretty high! I bet it won't be long until you order a flip up BUIS and ditch the carry handle.

That's the same base model as my current one. Still waiting on my next kit from Del-Ton to build onto my Spike's lower.

The red dot is really just for looks.

There is no way in hell i'd give up the factory iron A2 sights on an AR. They are too damn good, and i qualified expert too many times with them to ever live without them.

At -25 meters i'm using my day/night green laser. At +25 yards i'm using the Trijicon A2 iron sights. The red dot is just a fashion statement.

Honestly, if the S ever HTF i'd take it off to save weight and bulk. All the shooting i'd be doing in my locale is -50 stuff.

What that hi-mount red dot would be great for is shooting with a gas mask on. Low mount sights or the factory iron sights are unusable with a standard GI gas mask on. LOL....

Where did you get that? I dont want to change my cover, but this looks like it would work great.

I hate the "tactical" fore-ends, and really wanted to use the Hogue over molded free-floater, so the front sight dual rail mount fit the bill perfectly for me. I have my laser mounted to mine, the left side is just unused, though i do have a "tactical" light mount with a Nebo 14 LED combo light/laser, should i ever feel the desire to add a light to mine. It's really unnecessary with the green laser. It's so bright you can navigate even in a completely dark building just with the light of the laser.

[jbryant]

Nice...I like the Houge rubber forgrip set up...what does all that cost?

Does that drum mag work? Which brand did you get?
I was thinking about one but they looked cheap and problematic...Ya/nay?
How long does it take to load one?

[rattlsnak]

Where did you get the green laser? i like the red laser/flashlight combos, but geez, @ $500+??!

[RWebb]
