I apologize for this being in parts but trying to do this from my phone.

The highlights of the build are:
Adams Arms Voodoo Innovation melonited barrel
PSA blem lower and upper
PSA LPK
PSA PTAC bcg (full auto rated)
UTG Pro Super Slim rail
MFT Minimalist stock

Looks good!! How do you like the UTG rail? How hard was it to mount?

 

I love it. It is light and comfortable yet feels solid. It was a fairly simple install because I test fitted before I received the barrel.

Looks nice. Best part is you get just what you want when you build it.

 

Good job on the build. A nice looking rifle at a good price. Be sure to show us build #2!

 

And 3, 4, and 5 too. The addiction is a terrible thing to waste!

The one neat thing about that handguard is that there is no having to line up the barrel nut with gas tube. my dad had me install one of those on one of his guns. Seems to be a decent product. Congrats on finding your new "crack" youll be building your next one sooner than you think

 

I'm not a fan of UTG products but I have to admit their new handguard does look to be a solid option!

I was thinking the exact same thing. I may be adding one to one of my rifles.

 

Hard to tell from the pics is that a carbine length barrel?

 

I thought I had read somewhere that S&W was stopping unsing troys and was using UTG Pro superlim rails now? Maybe Im just retarded and read that someone that was complete BS.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the UTG rail cost and did you get it from PSA as well?

 

Thanks hardluk1, DACarryman, and copout228. I was shopping lowers already. I am addicted. Its amazing how I keep thinking I want an AK but can't shake this AR15 craving.

It's a mid length. I wanted to see how different it would be from carbine length. I can't tell yet. I need to shoot more.

I bought it for about $80. I say "about" because Amazon was running their $20 off $100 deal. I purchased the rail and a UTG A2 sight post tool for $80 and some change.

I too bought the UTG rail. Cost me $80 on Amazon. For the cost it can't be beat. UTG stuff usually seems to be chinese, but these are marked "made in the USA" for what that is worth.

I am happy with mine so far. Seems very rigid I do really like the shape of it. You get what you pay for, but in this case I do feel like it is a great deal.



Edit: the only downside is the dicks on this forum who will call it an "airsoft handguard", lol.

Seeing you courageously flaunt your handguard gave me the courage to admit I liked UTG Pro too.

Ha! There is safety in numbers!

 

Until you try to install that "Airsoft" handguard, it looks good. Then put it on and tighten it with the Chinese wrench that comes with it and see what happens.

 

I admit that for the uninitiated it might be a challenge, but for those who utilize the "kung fu grip" it is as easy as pie

any chance in getting some up close pics of the UTG maybe the barrel nut and the anti rotation deal?

 

Unfortunately I didn't take pix of the nut, butI can take more pix of the rail. However, here is a review with very detailed pix.

Good job on the build. I did one very similar, and it was my 1st build also. I like old school peep sights so without any optics on it I'm a little over $500 in it. I sighted it in at 100yds and in the 3+ years since I 1st put it all together I've ran a little over 2000 rounds through it without any hassles.

 

Nice looker
