For those of you who are in the process of building new AR's or plan to build another when the craze is over and prices drop down, think LIGHT. In a fire fight, the lighter you can build the gun the better, although I am not a fan of the Poly lowers that are being produced nowadays they are light...
Now as far as parts on the soon to be "LC's Gunfighter AR" build these will be the specs...

Seekins Precision upper/lower
Black Hole Weaponry 10.5" 5.56 barrel twist fluted (going to SBR it, already have my Class 3 Dealers License in the mail so not a big deal)
Troy 9" rail
Magpul CTR stock and MOE+ pistol grip
Spike's Enhanced LPK
Troy Battle sights and Aimpoint T1 Micro
No suppressor on it as usual unless needed for a purpose...

I'm trying to keep it under 6lbs loaded with a 20rd mag (don't like 30's), all in all should be light and short, the way it needs to be for a fire fight. Keep informed fellas :tu:

In all kinds of fire fights?

The 10.5" barrel actually performs better at range than one would think, out to 300 yards at least. If I need to go out past that I will grab a separate rifle to do such. This is more for CQB and vehicle shooting, something quick and easy to maneuver through and around obstacles.

Sling more than one rifle?

5.) LoganCrane - 03/09/2013

In my VooDoo Double gun drag bag yes, if on the move.

What about the bayonet?............ I always ask about the bayonet, just ask DP

So, the one in the drag bag is heavy then?


I like them VooDoo bag.

When putting together his AR my son took advantage of the lessons learned from my own over-engineered build and leaned heavily on Magpul furniture for weight savings. Since Class III stuff wan't an option he went with a 14.5" BCM thin profile barrel with a pin-welded 1.5" flash hider. The result? As you see it here with no ammo in the mag and no optic mounted, ~4.5 lbs...even with the bayonet lug.

A heavier version in a larger clover such as a 6.8, or a bolt gun. In close quarters or out to 100 yards or so the lighter your rifle, the faster you are in moving and raising your rifle to the shooting position.

I like it, nice and light

Had the Magpul MOE handguards been available when I did my build I wouldn't have gone with a metal quad rail (I have a YHM carbine-length). I honestly think they're mostly a waste of weight for most ARs considering that very few of us actually hang much in the way of truly useful attachments on them. All I have is a light mount on mine, and the rest of the rails are covered to prevent snagging and tearing up my hands. With the MOE you can add a short (or long) section of rail to it if need be and just leave the rest smooth and easy to grip. If you're not shipping out to Kandahar or otherwise going to be seriously abusing the rifle I don't see any reason to go with anything else.

I MIGHT LIKE THIS LC AFTERALL. HE SEEMS LIKE A STRAIGHT SHOOTER (YES TO THE PUN) :tu:
