Why keymod over mlok
Springfield did ther curve one the mag well with there edge.
You are holding $565 BEFORE shipping. I'm assuming you are putting together a VERY expensive AR. Your fluted barrel alone in your other video is $400. When all is said and done your AR must be north of $2000 right?
Nobody cares.
Does the hand guard cover the cool spartan emblem on the barrel? Wondering if I should get a 14 inch. It’s hard to see Thanks!
Nice!! Damn
Very Nice
As much as I am a fan of Battle Arms products, I prefer a Ballistic Advantage pencil barrel over theirs.
What kind of accuracy do you get with this 5 shot group at 100 yards ??? 3 MOA ?????????
you're boring me to tears
For only a few ounces of reduced weight it's no where near the price in which it costs.
Am I the only one who's never heard a dust cover referred to as a "port door"? Lol that bothered me like a lot for some reason. Otherwise good video ha.
What did it weigh in at
Really want that hand stop but damn are they expensive
Um ya but
48.3 oz without the BCG and charging handle
lol i thought it was kind of funny when you read the 5 as a 2 at 2:30
It's a nice receiver, but $499? Fuck that noise.
It would be super helpful if you listed parts and links to get them at in description. just saying.
Did I miss something, or did you weigh that upper with no BCG in it?
48oz is that with bolt carrier and charging handle ? i didnt see it on the video
kinda interested how rugged the light weight Lower is with all the releaf cuts in it is awesome looking but wondering if it will hold up to some abuses beautiful rifle just the same
I could make this rifle at least 15oz lighter
I see a 5.9oz BCM KMR in your future without the MI barrel nut showing.. Otherwise, very cool parts.. Wil have to look at BAD's website.. Cool build
I started late in the game and live in California so I can only get a rugger lower and I am new and I have planed to built my first ar 15 with minimalist butt stock, don't know what weight for buffer or tube, yhm upper and barrel, bcm enhanced lower parts kit, bcm charging handle, bcm bcg, slr ion ultra lite handguard 15", don't know what gas block, vg6 epsilon muzzle and diamonhead polymer sights I am new so I decided on these items simply for weight, reviews and I like the look I just hope it all works in sync and hope I didn't forget about anything I'm open to thoughts
Would this be considered an SBR then?
Awesome build!
What was the total cost of your build? Also full part list of not to difficult. Thanks.
Here's some idea's for your next lightweight builds. Faxon firearms 14.5" pencil @18.4oz, BAD titanium gas block @ .48oz, 2A Armament @ 1.35oz, and Brigand arms EDGE carbon fiber handguard @ 3.9oz (including the barrel and jam nut). Give that a try with your next build 😉
how long is the barrel
did you have to brake the upper back down to put the door on because it looked like you forgot
wouldn't you cut down on a lot of weight if you went with a shorter handguard?
Thanks, im in illinois. Do you know any distributors in my state?
I know this was last year but how do i get my hands on a battle arms upper and lower. All i see on line is out of stock
WOW !
VERY SWEET !!!!
Brigand Arms woven carbon fiber handquard is the lightest on the marked but still holds 100+ pounds. http://truthaboutguns-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/brigand3.jpg / https://brigandarms.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/JCL_9070-675×450-v2.jpg
