    New pistol build


    Had a lower sitting around for a couple of years, finally started getting parts for it. Not sure what upper yet, but leaning towards 11.5” 5.56. Some parts I found sitting around that I’ll use but are not pictured are a magpul K grip and an LWRCI enhanced NiBor FCG.

    Nice! New builds are always a goodthing.

    An 11.5 is what I want to do next or a 12.5”..

    So what are the upper plans, once you find one?

    I’m debating buying a SR-15 CQB or trying to build a 12.5” mini-recce. Triarc and BRT 12.5 mid lengths have caught my interest lately. Never put together an upper before, though.

    Made the decision to go with a Triarc 12.5 midlength upper. 10 week lead time, so it'll be a while.

    Plans to run suppressed? That barrel and gas length should be awesome

    10 weeks? Man. I’m waiting on a 10.3” .300 barrel from them ordered a couple weeks ago. Wonder if the timeline is similar.

    Mini-Recce’s are sweet. What optic you going with?

    I have a couple of buddies running Triarc Track barrels. Nothing but good stuff to say about them. Been meaning to try one out when the madness buying dies down. You'll have to give us the range report when you shoot yours.

    No suppressors yet, but more and more tempting. We'll see when funds become available / I feel like the wait.

    Not 100% sure. Likely going with a T2 on a scalarworks mount I'll pull from another rifle, but a 'cheap' 1-6 is also tempting.

    Will definitely report back once it's all here. Really interested in how the 12.5 midlength + warcomp feels and how it compares to my 16" SR-15 with H2 buffer in terms of felt recoil.

    I love my 12.5” Triarc mid length barrel. One of my smoothest running rifles.

    Right now that same barrel is showing a 10 week backorder as well, but you might be OK if you ordered before that was posted on their website.

    Hopefully. It just said backorder when I placed my order. Nothing about 10 weeks at the time.

    Aimpoints are good, but it won’t be a Recce if it’s just rockin’ a red dot.
