THIS IS PART II. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, START WITH PART I.

The rifle comes with a single stage trigger that pulls crisp
and clean without any creep at about 5lbs. Acceptable so I
decided to keep it without making any changes.
I wanted a DUAL operation AR15 - long distance shooting
with magnifying optics AND quick release for use with quality
irons on the top rail.
Using the Burris P.E.P.R. (Proper Eye Position Ready)
quick release tactical scope rings I can quickly remove
and reattach my optics without any loss of center.
Left side rifle profile. Can make use of a laser or xenon
flashlight... or both!
Magpul AFG for a better, more natural gripping of the
quad-rail handguard. A UTG solid, yet light, bi-pod for
a no nonsense quick deploy and tight storage.
Mako GLR16 Israeli Design Combat Stock with a beefy
buttpad that features a tire-inspired rubber texture for
recoil control and more grip offering decent storage. Solid
adjustable cheek riser and 6 sling attachments. Pinned
for compliance.
Troy Industries Rear Site tucked nicely under the quick
release P.E.P.R. and BSA optics. Quality Daniel Defense
Burnsed Loop Receiver End Plate Sling Mount Adapter -
Ambidextrous.
Milspec Buffer Tube provides slightly stronger construction,
deeper threading and rear flat profile.
With quick release of the optics, Troy battle sights are
in place for ready action.
Another view of the Troy battle sights. Sweet, isn't it?
Typical results at 100yrds using 75gr+ 5.56 NATO ammo.
Results of "rapid" 1 second interval shots with a 10 round
magazine - approx. 1.5" MOA. Slower targeting will yield
MOA easily.
Handloaded 75gr - 77gr ammo will shoot MOA all day.
It was a very successful and rewarding build. Taking
one of the industry's best kept secrets and making it
into a fine firearm that anyone can be proud of.
Mission accomplished. Thanks for reading.
Peace,
