Finished my first AR build
« on: April 07, 2017, 11:11:25 AM »
Finished my latest project last night. Did an Anderson 80%lower that I spent a few (haha) hours polishing to an almost mirror finish. decided to go the polished route just for something a little different, no particular reason or benefit. Little rough around the edges, but didn't expect it to stay perfect for long. Coated it with  Sharkhide aluminum protectant which should last many years before I need to re-apply. Used a DPMS lower parts kit, which seems to be pretty nice after completion. Need to touch up the trigger a little I think, it has a little too much creep for my liking. The upper is an 18" stainless barrel 1:8 twist with a rifle length system and a 15" keymod hand guard. Here's some photos;
Thanks guys

Nice and unique.

It is a Palmetto upper, not sure who makes their stuff for them.

That's neat  ;).
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
