Late checking in, but congrats to all the winnahs!!

[Airborne_EWO]

Parallax rail showed up a little bit ago. This thing is really nice, love the look and feel of it. It has a slight gray tint to it which is pretty neat. Pictures to follow as soon as I can figure out how to post them...may have to sign up for one of those flickr accounts.

[XACT_ABORT]

I have been watching this thread off and on. Definitely a nice bunch of prizes awarded. I'm trying to patiently wait for my prize which was a complete upper from Aero Precision. It's in the works, look forward to sharing when all is in my hands. Congrats to all of the winners and thanks again to WEVO.

[UWone77]

Ok,

So who wants the Dahmer Arms Billet AR Grips and will actually use them? Kind of a niche product.

Preferrably someone who hasn't won anything already...

[camomike]

Buying my aero receiver set tomorrow. Then next check, off to WMD for NiB. Thanks again!

Are you having the Aero set NiB coated?

[camomike]

Yeah, was planning on it. Figured since the barrel I won was SS, I'd do a silver and black build with it. Not sure if it was you, or Zero that posted one that I really liked. Kind of wanted to go a similar route. Initially was trying to see if I could get an Umbrella set in the white, but didn't hear back from them.

[camomike]

Besides for the cost of the lower at UCWRG I get the set at Aero. For the cost of the upper/lower at UCWRG I get a WMD NiB coated Aero set.... I'm not an FFL, so I'll have to pay the transfer fees on top of it. Just made more sense, this way I have more money for ammo, and I'm not paying a premium for a roll mark...

Go with NiB from WMD like you said, it's much better than the other picture you referenced. That other receiver set I got coated doesn't really feel or act like actual NiB

[Ride4frnt]

Received all of my prizes from the giveaway this morning. Big thanks to WEVO, UWone77, Rainier Arms and CMT Tactical for the awesome prizes.

This photo was inspired by Rainier Arms since they put a Seahawks logo on the return address on the envelope they sent me today. Not sure if that's always on there, but it's the first I've noticed. Despite being from Maryland, I've always been a Seattle sports fan since I was a child (Griffey Jr era). Snapped this real quick to show you guys what I got.

Congrats to all the winners, and here's to another 50K!

[Airborne_EWO]

As promised. You can definitely see the gray color if the rail. Overall, it is super lightweight and feels great in the hand. Seems like it is good high quailty, even though the inner gas tube opening is off kilter slightly.

Again, I want to give a huge thank you to UWone77, WEVO, and the sponsors.

Billet AR grips? Not 1911 grips?

My bad.. 1911 grips... they are yours if you want them.

I'd love them! I am a 1911 guy through and through so they will certainly get used.

Man they make a good lookin lower

[UWone77]

Yes they do....now all you need to do is cerakote it.

[Battle Cock]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's in the rules.

[Ride4frnt]

What color cerakote? My next cerakote project will be tungsten, or a custom blend using tungsten

Custom blend tungsten to darken a little with all contrasting black acc. and lpk or burnt bronze the upper lower and hand guard again with the rest black.... sorry got caught in my little gun dream there. Better yet what upper upper to match that beauty of a piece?

Mine is burnt bronze receiver set, rail and buffer tube. All black furniture. Love the look of that. Need to do a tungsten one since that was my second choice.

[henpecked]

Leaning towards a upper from JP rifles. Got to play with 2 of them last year and was really impressed

The standard or side charge?

A side charge just to be different

henpecked, Dahmer Arms is working on a matching upper, you could always wait for that if you wanted something to line up with your lower.

[GaSwamper]

Nice! I'm really torn on my next upper but I'm really leaning towards a side charge. I'm really interested in what that new CMT righty will be like.

CMT righty?

[GaSwamper]

Unless I read it wrong I was thinking CMT said they were going to be making a right side charge version of the new UPUR-3. On their facebook they just confirmed this and I think there is even a pic where you can see a charging handle peeking out from a top view but I could be mistaken. Spose to be out by like mid month.

[Computalotapus]

I am waiting for someone other than ASA to make a non-reciprocating side charging upper.

Check out that New Frontier left side non recip. Handled one at a show a while back and actually felt pretty slick.

There are at least three sellers now of that basic product, just re-badged I think. I've been taking quite a gander at the one sold by Gibbz Arms. I have also verified that they work with Adams Arms piston parts.

[Hellraiser]

I'm just waiting on Jaden and the crew to get back from a trip... per an email I received... that I won a WEVO muzzle device. Going to use it in a new build this summer. Thanks,

UWone77 for patiently waiting for me to respond to your email informing me of my win.

[XACT_ABORT]

Hey guys, if you recall one of the prizes from this giveaway was for a complete upper from our friends at Aero Precision. Well, I won it. Basically UW put me in touch with the good folks at Aero and I was given the choice of any complete COP upper from their site.

I chose the mid length piston upper as I had been contemplating a piston gun as justification in my feeble mind to purchase another. Anyhow, it just happens that because I chose the piston upper that there was a stock issue with a part or parts to assemble it. I just got it on Thursday and wanted to post some pics of the unit as delivered to me.

The upper comes assembled to a point with Adams Arms piston kit pre installed.

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3922/14441518463_93af9a3ab5_h.jpg (https://flic.kr/p/o19yiD)

The remaining components to assemble are the 3, 9, and 6 o'clock postions of the forend. This upper came with the full kit of rail sections to choose from to build out the rest of the upper. I haven't yet decided how I want to finish it but I could use any combination of blank, full, or half rail sections at the unfinished positions. Note that the rail sections have QD attachment points. This is a pretty cool setup with an extra barrel nut, wrench, and torx driver for the screws. Interesting also that the barrel nut in this threads internally into the upper.

The whole point of the COP (Continuous Optics Platform) is to allow for mounting optics at any location on the top rail, note that the 1913 top is a solid section out to the railed Adams Arms gas block. This is really a nice rigid piece finished in 7075-T6 and seems to be pretty lightweight. More details here (http://aeroprecisionusa.com/complete/complete-uppers/cop-m4-complete-midlength-piston-monolithic-upper-receiver.html).

That's it for now. Just wanted to post a quick note showing the prize and to say thanks again to WEVO, UW, Aero Precision, and all of the other sponsors for contributing to what has to legitimately be one of the sweetest gun stuff giveaways period. I know I'm biased given the circumstances but there was really top notch stuff all around from some top players in the industry. Very cool.

I will post the final build out when it's finished. It should end up very nicely I think incorporating some components from a couple of other giveaway sponsors in addition to Aero Precision.

[Airborne_EWO]

Love the flag on the top of the upper!

Very Nice! Glad Aero took care of you quickly. Did you end up going with an Aero Lower as you originally thought about?

Yep, Aero lower among some other parts. hoping to get to the lab tonight to complete the assembly. Not only did I win the upper they took it further and discounted everything else I bought from them as well. To further add to my good fortune.
