Well Known Nuisance
Gun TV did a series of videos awhile back about a Stoner build. While I enjoyed it, I was thinking I could build something better. ( where the hell are we going to get a CAV15 lower??) I felt like I could stick to Stoner's orginal design ideas and throw in some modern parts. Parts that I feel Stoner would have liked and probably used.
I personally am not a fan of the "free floating hanguard" but they work, I have them..I just think accessories tend to multiply on them. I don't care for red dots, something else to crap out, not to mention the ridiculous prices. Etched reticle are my favorite. I have them on a few rifles/pistols.
The carry handle ive always liked. Stable platform for the rear sight, protected from the types of bangs and drops that happen when outdoors. Jeeze im on a rant.
The build- PSA lower with gi trigger. Accuwedge. Magpul rifle stock in OD. Rifle tube,, buffer and spring.. Was going to use CF lower but wanted to be able to use bayo. Not sure if it would hold up.
Upper - BCA side charger, the extra parts added later to Stoner's orginal design are not needed. 5.56 FN chf CL 1:9 barrel 20 inch with fsb and bayo lug. I wanted a 1:12 barrel, maybe later. Magpul rifle lenght handguard OD. Again this is a solid mounting handguard.
Bayo- M9, solid bayo very well built.
Mags - magpul od.
The rifle feels solid not flimsy, twisty, or cheap and the weight difference is noticable. Much lighter.
Still need a few bits to complete, od sling and the 'Mercia flag OD grip. Jpritz is gonna turn one out for me. Might add a light.
Looking forward to shooting.
