I showed you a couple of pics the other day of my machine work, well so far here is the end result, right now I used a purple upper, until I get a chance to machine the purple lower, installed the Anderson LPK(Lower Parts Kit), as well as putting the upper together with a PSA premium bolt carrier group, adjustable gas block, Ballistic Advantage 16 in barrel in a pistol length, standard m16 front sight, A3 handle/rear sight. Magpul 30 round poly mag and a Swamp Fox free float hand guard, DPMS buffer tube and 6 position adjustable stock, standard A1 muzzle flash hider, cheapy no name charging handle and a standard carbine 3 oz buffer and buffer spring. Not taking into account what I paid for the mill and the lathe, I have about $350 into this gun and it shoots like a dream, with it being a 16" barrel, I don't have to pin the flash hider, I can remove it at will and put a suppressor on it with no problem. What drew me to the .300 AAC Black was the ability to run from subsonic to super sonic ammo in it and as a subsonic, it is silent. It was fun to build and I am already looking at my next project, have not figured out what caliber I want to build the next one. But now having all of the tools I can pretty much do anything I want with the next one. As the saying goes, the black rifle disease is contagious and has no cure!
:joyous:
One nice thing about having it tu tone right now, I know which gun I am picking up without looking to hard so a mag does not get mixed up between the 5.56 and the .300 hence no mismatch of ammo which cause really ugly things to happen, I have already decided, if I vary between calibers, the only guns that will be 5.56/.223 guns will be black and I will have other colors for variants built on the same platform.
