This build had a few requirements that needed to be met. The most challenging was bring the project in under budget which was pretty tight.<\/p>\n
The need was for an all around maneuverable entry-level\u00a0training carbine that would adapt nicely to a tall shooter while remaining light weight and fairly accurate inside of 300 yards.<\/p>\n
Once funds are available, this carbine will\u00a0dawn an optic\/red dot, railed hand guard, one point sling, and a weapon light.<\/p>\n
Immediately thoughts turned to an A2\u00a0stock to satisfy LOP\u00a0and the budget however, a collapsible stock was on the “nice to have” list. The Ergo F93\u00a0Pro Stock adjusts from 8″ to 12″ when fully extended helping to add 1 & 1\/2″\u00a0 LOP\u00a0over the A2 fixed stock helping to accommodate a tall shooter and at the same time addressing the “nice to have” collapsible stock.<\/p>\n
A Lightweight DPMS\u00a0 16″ barrel with a 1:9 twist helps keep the overall weight down and will stabilize 55 grain bullets for training as well as heavier\u00a0bullets for longer work. The upper components, bolt, carrier, receiver, etc. were also DPMS.<\/p>\n
A Mckay\u00a0Enterprises “No Logo” lower receiver was chosen because of the sleek look and competitive price. To aid in\u00a0training in the Colorado cold weather a Magpul Enhanced Trigger guard was installed.<\/p>\n
To complete the rifle a Magpul\u00a0rear sight added and 2 Magpul 30 round magazines.<\/p>\n
Overall, the build went very smooth. The first range visit for testing and barrel break-in provided successful results. At 50 yards with no zero all shots sent down range (10) hit the intended target, a paper plate. When time is available, we will zero the sights and test from 50 yds. to 200 yds.\u00a0 We expect to experience tighter more consistent groupings.<\/p>\n
Mission Accomplished!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
