Cross posting from another board but figure I’d throw this up here.
Okay guys…after much debate and talking to some ppl to try and help me decide this is what I have went w/ so far.
The specs as is are:
14.5" barrel 1/9 (unknown make…although I bought it new and got it dirt cheap )
Phantom 5C2
DD 12.0
TD VFG
COLT BCG
(I borrowed the charging handle from my other upper )
The 5C2 still needs perm. attached and the rail is not torqued properly right now.
I shaved down the FSB (not pictured under the rail as I haven’t put it back on yet)
The rest of the plans are as follows
GRSC 1-4 Optic
TD rail covers
Charging handle
Troy front and rear BUIS
DD QD Swivel for sling
Vickers Coyote sling
No plans for a light as this will not be my bump in the night weapon.
I think I’m gonna FDE this whole upper and then get a Magpul lower.
For the lower plans…
FDE the lower but leave the Magpul logo black.
Either a UBR or SOPMOD (haven’t decided yet) stock
And yes I’m gonna try the MIAD grip. I love the G27 but I have yet to try the MIAD.
Anyways…here are the pics so far. The upper will be getting sent off soon to get the 5C2 perm. attached.
I also still need to paint the gas block (it’s very ugly right now).
BTW My fiance is napping right now so I had to take these pics in the kitchen. I have a studio apt. for the time being so I can’t exactly be noisy right now. Therefore sorry for the quality of the pics. I just couldn’t resist taking some though.
Hey! I know where that DD came from!
Not a bad looking build so far.
Thanks.
You know 10gunner? (His name on TOS)…
I think I got it for a hell of a price
No I don’t know him but I saw you snatch it up outta that thread. I’ve been trolling through there looking for used rails myself…
Now I just need to find a used SPR-E mount…
That and a used SOPMOD stock…
Amongst other things 
You need 30mm? I have one with a Millett T scope I am trying to sell…
Welllllll…I don’t need the T-Scope but if it’s an SPR-E mount sized for 30mm optics lemme know.
Wasn’t planning on purchasing it this quick but if the price is right I might swing for it now.
Looks real good but you know that upper is screaming for your KX3 … dont let the ‘Pig’ down.

Thanks. I sold the KX3…couldn’t bring myself to put it on. After playing w/ the KX3 on a 14.5" it was wayyyyyy too front heavy. My original plan was to cut it down to 13.7 and throw on the KX3…however it still wouldn’t have made much of a difference IMO. Also on a 14.5 a KX3 really isn’t needed. W/ that said a KX3 is still in my goals along w/ a 10.5" SBR once I move out of the People’s Republik of Illinoisistan.
Hey, don’t go telling people they don’t need KX3s on 14.5" and larger guns. I think I saw one on an 18" not too long ago…
Someone on TOS wants to put one on his 20" thinking it will keep it quieter and he won’t need protection…
I saw that thread…I figured it best just to not respond
3 different AR’s I own and 4 different barrels I have a KX3 a Vortex an A2 but there is nothing louder or uglier than that Armalite muzzle brake - Jeez I hated shooting that thing under shed or in the woods it’ll make you fear pressing the trigger again… my 2 cents

The Y-Comp is pretty loud. I had one of those standard pin on (non perm.) comps on my Colt Match Target. It was a 16" but damn it was so loud and the flash was ridiculous!!!
I’ve been pretty happy w/ the 5C2 so I stuck w/ it. I wanted to try out the AK Concepts (or now known as Primary Weapons Systems) brake for. The vid’s look pretty convincing and I’ve heard lots of great reviews about them. Also the DNTC comp of theirs for the AR is getting good reviews.
