    Semi- budget build

    So, putting another custom build up for y'all to check out. Planned/ assembled by me. good baseline that can be upgraded over time. I focused most of the budget in the barrel and bcg. Rifle as follows-
    Aero receivers
    ALG buffer tube/ castle nut
    H2 buffer
    Spike's enhanced LPK
    Magpul stock
    Troy Alpha battle rail
    Ballistic Advantage 416r stainless barrel in 223 with BA gas block
    PWS enhanced BCG
    Strike Industries CH
    ALG single chamber brake
    Primary Arms 5x ACSS scope

    This will eventually get a Geissele trigger, a proper optic, and some backups. Single crappy cell pic. Expecting great groups out of this stick.

    Not bad for a budget build.

    Never was a fan of the Troy Rails. Had a few back in the day, including their quad rails. Machining is just not up to par with the rest of the competition. But that looks like a functional budget gun. How's the 5x ACSS?

    .223 chamber??

    I personally like the Troy Alphas. They're still my favorite feeling forend once you add squid grip. They do kinda suck for modularity though compared to... pretty much everything else, which is why none of my AR's are wearing one.

    Not a bad build you got going on.

    About like any other Primary Arms optic, nothing good and nothing bad to say about it, but rather, "meh"

    Sometimes MO' money just equals MO' pretty... If it slings projectiles at a high rate of speed to their intended point of impact, your buddy might be satisfied with that weapon for years to come..

    Meh seems to sum up PA optics nicely, especially in the fixed magnification flavor.

    I think you did a good job of sourcing a good barrel/BCG for the money. Should be a solid shooter.

    I'm guessing 223 Wylde, not Remington

    As far as I know, all the Ballistic Advantage 416R stainless barrels in .223/5.56 are chambered in .223 Wylde

    Well thank you, kind sir. I didn't even ruin the gas block on this build! Snicker
