Fathers Day Build

**GaSwamper** · 15 June 2014, 17:57

After shooting my 6.8 a while back my dad has been tossing around the idea of getting me to build him his first AR. Well I sealed the deal today when I decided to skip the customary tie and gift card sort of thing and give him a little something extra I had laying around. I think it was a good choice. A lota goodies go in the mail tomorrow so I'll update as we go but for now

Wilson Combat Stainless Fluted 1/11 6.8 SPCII 16''

Nope. He's one hell of a dad and grandpa. And on that note Happy Fathers Day to all the dads here and to all that stand watch or patrol our streets so our sons can grow up safe to one day know what is to be a dad Thank You!

Great answer.

I can also think of no better way to bond with the old man over building a new rifle and shooting it together. Can't wait to see how this one comes together for you guys. Nice barrel by the way, is that the same kind you're using in your own 6.8?

This was originally ordered for my rifle but with the long wait I ended up getting a hold of another hard to get ARP fluted soccom. Now my rifle shoots so good I kinda hate to mess with it. He had agreed he wouldn't change a thing on it a while back after one of our range trips. You're right it'll be great working with him on it and can't wait to help him drag out the first deer with it.

Gonna try a little something different on this one.

**GaSwamper** · 18 June 2014, 18:55

Things moving right on along. 9'' Evo extended and some Magpul goodness arrived!

What receivers are you using?

[QUOTE=GOST;55283]What receivers are you using

After handling one for another build im doing pops really liked the feel and finish of my Area53 lower so one of those on the way. The upper hasn't went quite as planned. Dad is a real fan of slick sides so I convinced him to try the CMT UPUR- 3 but apparently the M4- feedramp models are out of stock and there was no response to email on it so we ended up going with a Quintin Defense slick side which to me looks like the SunDevil.

Sounds sexy, can't wait to see it.

**GaSwamper** · 19 June 2014, 14:39

Here ya go GOST a little sex appeal in a box for your rifle. Won't be long and think we can put her together.

**GaSwamper** · 21 June 2014, 11:33

Not quite finished but enough for a peek I think. Still gotta get pops to settle on an optic but till then here ya go. Please excuse the pic quality.

**UWone77** · 21 June 2014, 12:50

Wow, that went together pretty fast!
