Well race season has started and that means extra funds to build a new rifle. Been a long fall and winter and I think I have compiled a decent list of parts to make my next rifle build.

1. North Tech Defense Billet Receiver Set
2. Rainier Arms MilSpec Buffer Tube Assembly
3. Mission First Tactical Minimalist Stock
4. Tactical Link EBAL
5. Fortis QD End Plate
6. B.A.D E.P.S
7. B.A.D A.S.S
8. CMC Flat Trigger
9. Mission First Tactical Engage AR-15 Grip
10. Odin Works XMR Extended Mag Release
11. Misc. Lower Parts
12. Odin Works 223 Wylde Ultralite 16"
13. Odin Works Kmod Fore End
14. Naroh Keymod Handstop
15. Rainier Arms Mini Compensator - RMC 2.0 SS
16. IronViper USAF Forward Assist
17. Rainier Arms Raptor Ambi-Charging Handle 5.56
18. Carbine Length Gas Tube
21. Ares Armor NiB BCG
22. Daniel Defense Fixed Front Sight


This rifle will get some color work done as well. Some parts have been ordered already and still waiting to order others. Roughly going to be about 3-4 month project.

Edited for Barrel change.

She stole my SPARC and has been using it. And she said she wanted another pistol ( M&P Shield ) before we buy her optic. It is all going to happen this summer. And you make me feel back about her PST :(

Comp,
Do you know what color work you're going to have done?

I'm trying to get my light weight "voodoo" project lined up for Cerakote spray and Camo dipping. I'm going with foliage green (of similar), and then going to have it hydro dipped in ATAC's foliage. That color group would do well here in KY, for most, if not all of the year.

Just curious,

FT this is going to be my rifle I use to go local 2-Gun shoots with. So thinking maybe having the rail, stock, and receiver set done in blue titanium. The barrel, buffer tube, xmr, ebs, and naroh keymod pieces done in red.


Comp,

Just a quick question... why a 13.7 ?

Because with the KX3 pinned it will bring the barrel to a little over 16" and with the 15.5" Odin Works rail it look nice

UWone77
10 May 2014, 14:41
Yeah I understand the KX3 part, for the 13.7, but it's just not a good combination for actual shooting. I had a couple of 13.7's and it was just not practical. Very front heavy for no gain.

I'd just go with the 14.5 or 16" NTD Barrel for your "NTD" build

Any longer of a barrel and the KX3 doesn't tuck under the rail it just sticks out in front of it. Not the look I am going for. I could change the stock to like a UBR to add some weight to the back of it. If I change the barrel then the muzzle device and rail will have to change as well.

Well since you put it that way..... I guess I gotta go back to the drawing board. I just don't want to do an SBR to go to the shorter barrel to free up the weight. If I change the barrel going to go with a PWS FSC series muzzle device. ( GEMTECH ready yay )

Maybe I could go to the 14.5" barrel and just suck it up that another 1" of the KX3 will stick out. Maybe I just need to suck it up and do the right thing.

No I don't think I will ever say last build, but if I am going to spend the money and build it might as well do it right. And a balanced rifle is the only way to build it. I would be mad if I finished only to find out it was more top heavy than Dolly Parton.

Hey, if I hadn't have lucked out and won a new Keymod rail, this build would be my last. I just had to adjust and make it my absolutely, positively, next to my very last one...

Nice pile of parts...Should be a good rifle..


Curious on tour take of the minimalist stock after some use?

Also gun might get a little forward heavy with such a small stock on it, , and no i dont know what it weighs just looks light.

C,

You should have him build you your gun first and have him contribute his and your thoughts on my Building a Wife a Rifle Thread. I'm curious to see what kind of gun you'd want him to build for your use.

And I agree with mustang, interesting that the gun is going to be very front heavy, but use a MFT minimalist stock. A UBR would balance the gun, but that would just be a 9lb brick when you're done with it.

He did build my first gun. He is responding to you right now. I have to say, just let her touch everything and pick some things out. Help her, but don't tell her no unless you have a very good reason for it. Remember she doesn't know what is good and bad so be patient. Do this as a couple, but put her in charge, if you know what I mean. Jason had all of my gun parts picked out and then we went to Phase 5 and I got to actually see and feel some things and then my whole build changed. He did tell me no on a few things because they wouldn't work well with the rest or they were too heavy, as I was going light weight.

I love every aspect of my rifle now. It is perfect. You could also let her play on Gunstruction, then you can kind of get a feel for what she likes......

You know, I completely forgot that UCWRG gun was yours. Speaking of.... UCWRG, I might have to go with their forged set for this.

Yeah I know what you're saying, I'm going to be hands off as much as possible. Like I said, she hasn't played with rifles at all, so I will let her pick the components that are comfortable for her. So far, I know she likes slim handguards.

I grew up with guns, I had just never built one. It was nice to have choices and it was even nicer to have help with all of them.

Ps if she gets crazy, pick 4 or 5 things that are good and let her pick from those. That way she doesn't pick on looks alone. Girls do that, we are crazy 😉

This is what I did for my wife. I gave her the option of several things that would work good together and go toward being lightweight. We also went to quite a few gun shows so that she could fondle stuff and get a feel for what works best for her.

All changed up now. Took your advice and I do like the NTD barrel. Also the flutes give me some color options I didn't have earlier. Went with a 16" so I can play around with different muzzle devices and going to start out with the RA Mini RMC 2.0 SS. Guess I am just going to have to save this KX3 for an SBR PDW type build one day.....one day.

UWone77
11 May 2014, 17:47
The MFT Stock with a 15" rail and a KX3 would have just made the gun very unbalanced. Like I mentioned you'd need a SOPMOD or a UBR to balance that gun out, and it would probably be 10 + lbs loaded up. I don't think you were looking for that, so I'm secretly glad you took the suggestion... even if it is your money. [:D]

I think you made a wise choice. That KX3 will better serve you on a PDW type weapon with a barrel 10.5" or shorter. Besides, once the PDW project gets going, you know it's going to be your wife's gun, so who are we kidding?! These 2 are getting stocks once my SBR stamps come back.

Probably a little late, but if you really like the fluting have you considered RA's select barrels with fluting? They have a SS one and the black one looks pretty sweet with the contrasting silver flutes.

Not trying to hijack the thread, it really is fun to go to the range with 4 or 5 guys, each with 3 or 4 guns and just swap back and forth all day. Last time I went, a friend had a Sten - Yeah no kidding, modified to shoot semi-auto using an adapted AR trigger group. That was some serious "back yard engineering", and the thing shot great. Took me a few shots to figure out how to hold it, but the point is, it is fun for everyone to dump something out of a case or range bag for anyone to try....

Sigh, its a sad truth. We're working on that.

The federal trial to strike HB 1224 (the one limiting mag capacity) concluded on 4/11 and we're waiting on a ruling, though I haven't seen a timeframe for it. Plus the state did recall 2 senators and get a 3rd to resign (so the democratic party could assign the replacement, keeping the majority) - so there are a least a few avenues open to get that ludicrous legislation removed.

At least I don't live in NJ - from what I've seen they have new bills that classify Marlin Model 60s in .22 LR as "assault weapons." because the capacity of the tubular magazine exceeds 10 rounds. Wait a sec....that I've sunk to saying "at least I don't live in NJ" in the context of firearm law probably merits a trip over to my bourbon cabinet. Back soon.

Please carry on with the NTD design while I'm gone :)

I don't have any experience with that type of rifle, but it'll be interesting to see it completed..
I've just started on my more "traditional" "patrol" rifle, and it's been fighting me from the start.. I've still got to do a little machining to set up the gas block. Hopefully, after that, parts will start to fall into place..

Keep us in the loop with some pics..It'll be interesting to see something out of the ordinary...[:D]

Nice. Going to use blue titanium as the main color for the kryptek. I could have used a local guy but blowndeadline is a member here on the forums. I have seen his work posted here and on IG and it is awesome. Also he lives here in MI and its just a short drive.

Don't know about good member, but I did notice that I officially lost the "New Member" moniker. And don't kill me yet, I really want to see how this turns out. Those camo patterns make me think of Predator by the way.

So I have a touch of color blindness and admit I probably can't fully appreciate the entire range of colors particularly when they're similar in base. Comp, when you spec out the colors to use how many specifically different colors does this type of pattern support? Is it just two or more?

It will have 3 colors. I am thinking a Blue Titanium as my base, Black as my secondary, and Titanium as my accent. With red barrel, buffer tube, xmr, tactical link EBAL, and Naroh grip stops.

Sounds awesome! I was thinking that what I was seeing from the pictures that there were probably more than the two colors that jump out at me initially. Like I said though it's hard for me to tell sometimes. There's quite a bit of potential there to do some really cool stuff.

One of the things that I didn't realize about the AR game initially was the extent that one could sort of be creative at a minimum by wading through the vast selection of off the shelf parts resulting in something that is truly their own. Not to take anything away from the overall functionality and intended purpose of a firearm at all, but this is a whole different level I hadn't paid attention to.

Comp, I hope you enjoy the process and I'm sure it's going to be great.

Hey comp, just curious if you have played with different mags to see if your lower likes/dislikes whatever, as i just was playing with my newly acquired north tech lower that almost every gen 2 mag i tried and every gen 3 pmag would like not even insert all the way into the lower, the only one that was semi easy was a lancer awm and newer gi mag..

Yep I was Air Force. Back in the day my MOS was called Security Police and the only part of my training that was actually USAF was Basic and then 6 weeks of Military Police training at Lackland. After that I spent the next 6 months on Army Posts for Air Base Ground Defense,Heavy Weapons, and some Urban Tactics training.


From what I hear now Security Police and Law Enforcement have been shoved into a single MOS ( Security Forces ) and the USAF does all the training.

The rest of the Air Force considered us step children. Ask Browcs....nobody in the Air Force liked SP's. It was a job for the confident, cocky, and arrogant. I fit right in haha.

Best thing was jacking up some light bird because he forgot the sign/counter sign for the day. And when he started trying to throw rank around the famous line of "Sir..my authority trumps your rank on this side of the line...now turn away from the resource, hands up and out spread your fingers and your feet"....ahh the good old days.

Also pulled off a bad lever and it will completely not work due to its angle and such..sux as i wanted to run the tactical link bad lever also, but looks like that is not gonna happen. only bad device i seen on looking thru tons of pics on north tech;s facebook page was the phase 5 piece..

Earlier on you posted about using the SS RAC, wish I had seen that. I have a SS RAC I ordered by accident and UWone77 got me a black one so I have a spare SS I could've sent you.


Also, I know this is marked out of stock, but another member showed me this in my pistol thread. Uses the same WOA LPK that was mentioned earlier, you just get to choose your trigger, grip, etc as options if you want. I know it's not under 50 like you said considering you are getting the other things you'd buy otherwise I think it's a good deal

haha no worries yeah I was going to use the RAC but the wife said she wanted to use one for her pistol build so I opted for the RMC just to try something different I figured at the price if it works it works if it doesn't I don't have that much into it.

For the lower parts stuff I opted to just purchase all the misc pieces I need from brownells and ordered all colt parts.

bolt catch, bolt catch spring, bolt catch pin, magazine catch, magazine catch spring, grip screw that is really all I need for the lower parts. I have a BAD-ASS, and BAD -EPS on the list to purchase along with the CMC trigger don't think I needed to pull a whole lpk just to get those few parts.

Yeah I am hoping the RA NiB match BCG is in-stock when I go to order if not I will pick up a BCG from somewhere else. Next week will be the BAD-ASS and BAD-EPS hope they are in stock at RA if not will order directly from BAD.

No NTD barrel?

Computalotapus
25 July 2014, 11:01
NTD barrel is over half a pound heavier than the Odin Works barrel. I am trying to keep the weight mostly centered on the rifle with just a little bit of it being forward. I felt the half pound heavier barrel would have put to much weight forward on this build. The backside of this rifle is extremely light. So once again function over looks wins again.

Tonight ordered Stainless Steel BAD-ASS (Standard/Short) levers from Battle Arms Development and Daniel Defense Fixed Front Sight from RA. Would have ordered my CMC Trigger but it was out of stock at RA. Next week if it isn't in stock we will call Jennifer directly at CMC and place the order with them. Going to swap out the Tactical Link sling plate for a Fortis QD plate. Once all these parts come in will be sending it off to blowndeadline to get cerakoted. End of September early October this rifle might be done. Would be nice to take it to Missouri in October.

Is that the optic you're going to stick with ?

Computalotapus
10 August 2014, 05:10
Is that the optic you're going to stick with ?

Yes. I was originally going to go with a Trijicon SRS but started reading reviews. Honestly for a $900 optic you would expect 5 stars across the board and especially for an optic from Trijicon. To many little things just put me off on their optic. Then I thought maybe an Aimpoint PRO, solid reviews proven reliability. At this point is when I asked myself why do I need another optic and to be honest I couldn't come up with a good reason. I have beat on this Vortex SPARC for over a year. Multiple trips to the range and running drills and scenarios it has held up. Probably the best warranty from the manufacturer and I have not had to use it.
I took a note from Rob and my HD rifle is stock bare bones KISS mentality because if/when I ever have to use it I don't need to be worrying about something not working. We bought an optic for the wife's rifle and I had this SPARC as an extra optic laying around. I am sure down the road this rifle will see other optics and but right now I don't have a reason not to use the Vortex. I have thought about the Aimpoints, EOTechs, even the IDF optic but nothing stands out and says that I need to get a new optic. Honestly tho I would lean on the SPARC II more than the others at this moment if I was to pick up a different optic. I really like this optic and the company.

No surprise, I support this line of thinking.

I always thought of my "HD gun" as the conclusion of a whole bunch of fiddle-fart with my toy guns. Call it my own private T&E process.

What has been interesting, to me at least, is how little of the fiddle-fart actually makes it's way onto the HD gun. Like, almost none. The SBR from my Tale of Two Carbines article from years ago has barely changed, with only the type of Redimag (using the new aluminum one now), the charging handle (BCM Gunfighter), and the light (X300). I have had probably $10s of thousands of dollars of other crap come through my hands, and gotten to see and shoot 10x that in other shooter's guns, and nothing really impresses me.

You sure the mini comp is what you want on a 16" ? I don't have one, but all the vids I've seen on that comp shows that it's a fire breather. I'm curious what you think of it after you use it. I was thinking about it for a shorty, but it would probably be worse on a short barrel.

99.9% of the shooting done with this rifle will be done in daylight so fire breathing will not be a huge concern.

This is the rifle I am going to use for local 2-Gun competitions. It is also going to be the rifle that I T&E different parts with. As Rob likes to call it the "fiddle-fart" rifle.

Will use my HD rifle for all of my training (HD/Low Light) classes. That is the platform I want to train with as it is simple. I figure build a solid foundation and the fundamentals will transfer over to my competition shooting. No entering competitions to win but to use it as a means to get out shoot, learn and have some fun. I will be building a SBR PDW rifle soon that will replace my current HD rifle, look for it to just be a shorter simple version of the current HD rifle.

CMC 3.5lb Flat Trigger

http://www.computalotapus.com/images/cmctrigger.jpg

.

I bought the CMC 3.5 flat trigger for the gun I just finished. I'm anxious to get it to the range and see if the "flat" trigger is going to be impressive, or a bust. I do have a CMC curved trigger in another very similar gun, and I do like it very much. Just dry firing, though, I thought it would at least cause me some psychological effect, e.g., good/weird/different/bad, but it felt very natural.

I just got to try the CMC flat trigger last weekend. Although I only got to shoot 200 or so rounds, this trigger definitely got my attention. Especially rapid fire. Groups were much tighter than I expected with a Voodoo Arms "Ultra Light" barrel, but that could be a function of the gun itself. But I think I'm on to something special here. I was absolutely able to shoot tight groups with very little conscience thought of the trigger. Can't describe it, actually, and of course I can't promise you'll get the same results, but this is the best money I've spent on a trigger in a long time.

I understand man. This rifle was purpose built for me to take to local competition 2-Gun shoots. If I was to take a dynamic rifle course I think I would grab my M&P 15 and use that instead of this. But being that this is going to only be a competition rifle for me I thought I would do something with some flare to it. I personally like the color combination as they have a sentimental meaning to me.

Im usually not a fan of non earth tone weapons but this thing is great. For a competition gun the color scheme is outta this world, if you were shooting for patriotic you did good sir.

More teasers... I will be taking the barrel, RMC, Vortex SPARC, and MFT grip down this weekend for complete assembly in blowndeadline's shop. The set screws for the CMC pins are going to be done in stainless steel to match the rest of the small parts. Slide to the M&P 9 will be done before Sunday to match the rifle as well.

Was awesome getting to meet you and see the projects you had going on. Looking forward to bringing more stuff your way. I know for sure the AR Pistol and my SBR build will be passing threw your shop. Can't wait to see the finish on your personal project you have going on might have to order something up similar.

All assembled minus the CMC Triggers set screws for the anti walk pins. Those will get mailed back to me with my slide for my M&P 9. Due to a nasty storm in Mike's area he has been without power for several days.

Comp, what color is the buffer tube, and the small parts? Titanium? Thinking that's gonna be the color of my receivers.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw your color breakdown post

The wife has an FDE rifle and my go to rifle is the S&W M&P 15 that I have in black. I figured if its gonna be a 2 Gun competition gun the least I could do is make it look like a race gun. Maybe I spent to much time by the exhaust end of top-fuel and funny cars at the 1/4 mile track growing up but all the race cars had wild paint schemes.

And I got a hug, that was worth the trip alone ☺️ it was very nice meeting you and I can't wait to work on the next project with you. This one will be called Secret Squirrel (Jason won't know till we pick it up)

Wow, turned out a darker finish than I thought it would be. Looks slick though.

Goal was to build a lightweight rifle that I could take to local 2-gun matches. I think a 6lbs 9.8oz rifle that balances at the magwell is worthy of being called a successful build. It was a fun build and I am going to take her out to the range this weekend to zero and run her through some stages.

Next post from me on this thread will be the range report might even put in some video too.

Haha..was actually gonna ask how heavy it turned out...6 1/2 pounds roughly should make for a nice rifle for what your gonna do..

Well had some things going on at the club today couldn't run the course so I went over to the static rifle range. 6 rounds to zero at 50 yds. Another 6 rounds to confirm zero out to 100 yds. Loaded 5 rounds into 3 mags and did some medium tempo runs on steel silhouettes at 75 and 100 yards worked paper targets at 50 and 25 yards. Made sure empty mags fell free and bolt locked to the rear after the last round. Reloaded the mags with 5 rounds again. Picked up the pace 3 round rapid fire center mass, double taps to head area on 25 and 50 yard targets, quick reload 5 shot rapid fire on steel silhouettes at 75 yards. All in all about 140 rounds through it today.

No issues what so ever with the rifle. Ran some surplice green tip ammo, some PMC bronze 55gr and some Herbert (dirty cheap ammo). The rifle ate all types of ammo that I fed it and didn't have any issues with cycling the next round or locking to the rear. All 3 kinds of ammo formed a nice pile about 7 feet away to my 4 o'clock position. The CMC trigger feels great and I think it is worth every bit of money I paid for it. The Rainier Arms RMC surprisingly reduced the muzzle rise significantly more than I thought it would and the felt recoil was easily managed. And from what everyone else said it still spit fire all over the place. I am extremely happy with how the rifle performed and how easy it was to transition from target to target at various ranges.

MF, would you please expound on the issues you encountered? I'm curious what kind of issues you were having, and what the potential fixes might be, especially since my pistol will be up and running soon.
