Just finished building it.

I have wanted to build another AR for quite some time now and finally had the disposable cash to do so. Here's what I put together:

Spikes Tactical "Jolly Roger" stripped lower
Noveske "Chainsaw" stripped upper. (Couldn't find a mark on it."
JP 2 stage trigger. (Breaks like glass.)
Magpul MOE stock
Magpul grip, trigger guard, and RFG.
Magpul MBUS sights.
Other lower parts are Palmetto State Armory, Stag for the ambi safety.
Stag Arms standard phosphated BCG
Custom engraved "Molon Labe" dust cover.
YHM rifle length diamond rail.
Palmetto State Armory 1 in 7, 14.5" Chrome lined barrel.
YHM Compensator.
YHM 2 piece gas block in case I want to change the free float rail later on.
Vortex SPARC optic

I had a ton of fun building this rifle. I took my time and did a lot of comparison shopping and spent a LOT less than going out and buying a pre-built rifle off of the shelf somewhere.

Palmetto State Armory has the best prices I have found by far. They did however screw up my order twice. I guess that's what happens when you are trying to fulfill more orders than you can handle. They did make up for it by sending me a free PMAG and a hat though. All the YHM stuff was ordered from BrightFlashlights. They are a small company out of Florida that has the best prices around on all YHM stuff.

Well here it is.

:D

Thank you!
It's pinned with a 3/16'' pin hidden behind the adjusting lever. I hate this state. I wish I could have it adjustable.

Here's a pic to show you what I mean.

You can't see the pin once you let go of the spring loaded lever.

That's a good spot too. I didn't even think of that.

I put it there just to make it easier to remove and readjust if needed. I drilled straight through and inserted a roll pin so it can be pushed out with ease instead of drilling into the buffer tube and having to fight to remove it.
