    This is my first time building an AR. Let me know what you think or if you have any tips and ideas. Thanks

    It's on a standard lower right now that my dad had laying around. I just got a spikes forged lower, spikes buffer assembly, and a cmc 3.5 drop in. I'm waiting on a few more odds and ends but its almost done.

    Great looking first build!

    You'll probably hate that grip.

    Yeah I'm looking at the BCM Gunfighter Mod1 grip. I'm not a big fan of the angle on the standard grip. I'm also torn between a handstop or an AFG. I want to keep the rifle pretty sleek since I was going for a minimilist kind of build. I'm not even sure what kind of optic if any I want to put on it.

    Well, I am with you on the angle. I find the more vertical grips a large improvement. I found the BCM grip to be too thin but I have big hands

    Good looking rifle and welcome aboard. The Mod 1 causes me choke up farther than I like since it doesn't have the finger index. It ends up putting pressure on my middle finger. I like the Mod 3 better.

    Thanks for that little bit of product knowledge. I will definitely be looking into the Mod3

    The Mod 3 has more girth than the previous Mods to address that issue, is also $8 cheaper.

    Arisaka fingerstop, you'll thank me later. For a long time I dismissed it as a part I never thought I'd like. It is now one of those parts that is on every current and future build.

    Just looked it up and it's exactly what I'm after. Thanks! It'll be a great addition to my rifle.
