    Here's something I recently put together.

    Complete Upper: White Oak Armament SPR 18", 1 in 7" 223 wylde.

    Scope: Nikon M-223 3-12x with M223 base/mount with 20 MOA rail.

    Lower: Stripped lower from PSA.
    Lower build kit from PSA.
    Magpul Miad Grip
    Magpul ACS Stock
    Trigger is a Geissle SSA two stage.

    Bipod: Harris

    Results: Only had it out twice now since getting it all setup. Once to get on paper and at 40 yards it was a single hole and it should be at that distance. Second time at the range after getting a feel for the reticle and my match handloads I was slapping around steel at 600 like a bully does on a playground. I will shoot it farther, I just haven't yet.

    Pics:












    I don't have a picture of the final coat of krylon that really blends in all the spots and makes it look like an actual camo that blends in. I'm happy with how the rifle has performed with reliability & accuracy. I'm mostly happy with the camo job, but I still wish there was a way to put mossy oak paint jobs on a rifle that was reasonably close to price of a few cans of krylon. Rifle has ran like a champ with the Kestral suppressor on it. So far mine hasn't blown up.

    Just wanted to share, won this upper in Stickman's Weapon Evolution giveaway.
    Didn't even know what was coming in the mail and was flabbergasted to see an entire upper when I opened the box.

    16" midlength, 13" Alpha rail. I am really liking the way the rail feels. The machining makes it quite "grippy".

    Looks nice. Good to see someone else who likes the Alpha rail. My 16" has one, and I'd like to change my SBR over to one.

    I'm not trying to say magpuls are perfect or that they've never had a problem, but magpul's good enough that I don't see how anyone could benefit by buying any of these other new plastic mag manufacturers trying to jump on the bandwagon. I'm still running Gen1 Pmags, and a couple Gen 2's, no problems.

    I hear ya. Competition is usually a good thing though.

    I plan on doing the exact same thing to a pmag this evening that I did to this mag to see if it fails.
