If you don't mind, around how much did that build run ya?
Looks pretty sweet

 

[Guest]

Looks good. You should build a sling. I built mine using instructions on AR15.com for a building a tactical sling. It works great & did cost about $10. I went with black nylon - but other than I built it exactly per the instructions here:

id say the build it would run around 700-900 bucks (guessing) , the rifle its self started out as a full carbon 15rifle and i felt like i needed to up grade to a real upper and in the end it became a light build im pretty happy with
here is a better shot of the the upper on it now
and this is the upper it came with

What kind of Flash Hider is that?

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

[Guest]

well on the invoice for the upper thats on the gun right now it says its a Izzy but i think its a Phantom 5 Port Flash Suppressor but it only has 4 ports so im not really sure on the type of flash Suppressor but it is like the phantom from what i can tell ,, But i guess thats what comes on the post-ban on the A3 m4 14.5 upper now ,on the carbon 15 upper its a izzy 3 port here is a pic of the to the Izzy on the left and the Phantom is on the right. its not a very good pic but u get the idea

is the carbon really that much lighter? how do u like it compared to a regular metal reciever?

 

[Guest]

its alittle lighter id say but not by to much i havent goting a chance ti weigh it

I'd say it's about 1/3 lighter although I havn't weighed one myself either. I am going by my AR-180B which has the carbon fiber lower. It is fragile though and there are warnings about not letting the upper fall down and put presure on the pivot pin area. It can break off :shock:
