My Ultimate AR15 Setup

Just for fun, I'm going to dedicate this post to what I see as my Ultimate AR15 build up. So let's start with the "parent" rifle:

First, we start with CMMGs 10.3" M2 build up:



So here we go:

A. Remove the Carry Handle, replace with MagPul BUIS that holds a rear tritium aperture.

B. Put EOTech on with the correct mount for total cowitness.

C. Replace front sight with tritium post on a MagPul BUIS front sight.

D. Replace A2 flash hider with a Vortex Striker

E. Add Redi-Mag

F. Replace handguards with a decent four rail system

G. Add a short VFG, Vltor Off Set Flashlight mount, Surefire tactical light

H. LET HER ROCK!!!

I'm sure more additions will come to this dream gun but that's what I have so far. I think I'm going to need a few promotions! :P

Gear, Gear, Gear!

Got a few new photos of some tactical setups that I have revamped. The first is the AK setup I wrote about previously. I added a pistol pouch. I'm working on getting all the secondary weapon gear for it up and running. I have some more trial and error to get through but the AK kit is comming along very well:



Next is the AR setup. I still rock the Immeadiate Action setup as my primary "Go To" rifle setup but with the additional rifle magazine pouch I had leftover from the AK rig, I decided to start working on the AR15 kit. It needs some equipment upgrades like a new belt and holster for the sidearm but the concept works very well and I am pleased with the results from dry fire testing:



Still have some more gear I need to aquire but so far so good. Sidearm holsters are needed as is a new rigger belt for the AR rig. It's always a constant give and take but the fun is getting to a near perfect loadout!

New Chest Rig!

So last Thursday I took a trip down to my local gun shop to chat with the owner and shop for some tannerite and .223 ammo to get ready for a range trip on the following Monday. No luck on the Tannerite but I scored 100 rounds of .223 for the AR to munch on. I noticed the owner had a bit more tactical gear than normal. Some guys were unloading their equipment to pursue other intrests.

I'v been shopping for some new gear for a few months now but I was hesitant to pay the $110 to $250 dollars the custom rigs I wanted commanded. In the surplus of items at the shop was a simple chest rig with a pair of mag pouches made to hold six AR or AK magazines each. I figured the rig would run about $100 - $150 at least.

What a shock when the owner said "$40.00 my man." It was a done deal. I got a Spectre MOLLE chest rig and x2 Blackhawk 6 rifle magazine pouches for $40.00 USD!

So I took it home, did some customization and got this:


To the right side of the rig I placed my MOLLE Trauma Kit, center is the Blackhawk 6 magazine pouch, and the left side of the rig holds a dump pouch.

I specificaly set the rig up for use with my AK but it can easily be converted for use with the AR15 as well; just swap out the magazines and your Good-to-Go.
