WTS: Custom Build AR - Fort Worth - ***SOLD***

Post by packina45 »

We really don't want to part with this one, but hard times call for hard measures.

Image

My wife's a pretty fine rifle shot, and this rifle was built for her by a Sheriff's Dept. armorer. He built it from the ground up to be a 200-300 meter tackdriver in the hands of a capable marksman.

Starting on a Vulcan lower with a flat-top upper, the rifle is TIGHT...no rattles. Standard stock, 20" match-grade barrel, UTG quad-rail forearm. Harris bipod. Chambered for the higher pressure 5.56NATO rounds.

This is NOT a lightweight battle carbine you'll want to carry around on a sling. Dry weight is 12.3 pounds. That weight combined with the Bushmaster-Y compensator makes recoil almost non-existent. If the crosshairs move off target, you moved the rifle, it's that simple.

The match-grade McCormick trigger group breaks crisp and clean at 3.5 pounds with no creep and zero overtravel. The oversized charging handle means the Leapers 3x9 illuminated red/green reticle rubber-armored scope won't get in the way.

Never fired with anything but new factory ammo, no Wolf, no lacquered steel casing junk, mostly S&B, Lake City and Remington loads. Approximately 500 rounds through it with never a malfunction. The little brass presentation plaque on the side will come off and clean up easily enough with a little solvent.

At least three magazines also included, maybe more, have to see how many I have left. I'll also throw in a UTG rail-mountable foregrip with battery compartment and pressure switch housing that's never been installed.

NO TRADES -- NO SHIPPING -- FTF in Fort Worth Only! -- TDL or CHL and bill of sale required.

$750 cash. You could not build a comparable AR for the same price.

Too bad car repair bills have eaten me alive in the last few weeks. I would love this.

Slight edit to correct trigger manufacturer. The match-grade trigger assembly came from McCormick, not Timney. Sorry 'bout that.

Here's a short video of the rifle in action:

Note that what little recoil exists is all straight-back with little or no muzzle movement. The target was a 1/4 scale steel pig (about the size of a football) at 300 meters. My wife said she needed a smaller target, that was way too easy to hit.

Should try it from my end. REALLY don't want to part with this, especially at this price, but we have a critical financial need here.

C'mon guys. Stop selling all this really cool stuff until I've had a chance to build up my gun buying stash. I only started it with $100 last week.
