New here: Sharing my AR-15 and 10/22 builds

Just thought I would share my builds with everyone.
AR-15:
A little bit of background on the rifle- I built this rifle when I was 18-19 years old. I've never been big on buying guns "off the shelf" so I decided to take matters in to my own hands. Plus, I wanted something unique. Something that would get a lot of praise at the shooting range, as well as hold .5"-1" groups at 100-200 yards. This is what I came up with.
I started out by designing the rifle with Brownell's Build Your Own AR-15 program.
I started out with a stripped receiver from Aero Precision
After that came a DPMS parts kit, DPMS panther grips, and a Magpul PRS stock
Then came the upper. Again, I wanted something unique so I decided to go with a side charging upper from Alexander Arms and a side charging bolt carrier from Young Manufacturing
After that came the barrel and gas tube/block. Since I was wanting an MOA-Sub MOA rifle, I decided to give Krieger a call and order one of their stainless steel match barrels. 20". 1-7.7 twist.
Making room for the gas tube.
After the barrel was installed I threw on a fluted hand guard from JP. I wanted something with heavy fluting so the barrel was able dissipate heat more efficiently.
When it was all said and done, I added an Aplen Apex XP Extreme Performance scope. 6-24x50 w/ side parallax adjustment.
Took it out to the range for break in the next day. Came home with this. This was at 100 yards. (The 2 black dots were my fault)
And then had fun with it from there.
10/22:
A little bit of background on the rifle- I actually built this rifle for my girlfriend when I was 18-19 years old for one of our anniversaries. I wanted her to have something unique. Something that would get a lot of praise at the shooting range, as well as hold .5"-1" groups at 50-100 yards.
This is what I came up with:
Went to one of our local pawn shops and picked this up for way to much money. I told the guy I was going to be getting rid of everything but the action but that didn't phase him.
Took everything apart and took the action down to a local engraver and had her name engraved on it
Next, I ordered a Terminator thumbhole stock from Stocky's as well as a barrel. Again, I wanted her to have something unique so I did some looking and found a company that sold helical fluted barrels.
After it was all assembled I topped it with a Vortex 7x35 scope.
Hope you enjoyed reading. I look forward to hearing any feed back you might have.

On the AR........you might want to look at a Tubbs grip and ditch the hockey puck. I would say go for an Ergo but it looks like you're set up for range work and not CQB like one of mine (I have two, a heavy target and an M4-gery). I did the hockey puck until I found the Tubbs through the guys here.

Neat guns and quite a grand entrance :up::up::up::guns::guns:
BTW: what kinda groups will that modified 10/22 do?

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.... now who's bringing the hot wings? :jester:
The side charging bolt carrier will not work with a regular AR upper. If you are wanting to use a side charging bolt carrier you need a side charging upper receiver as well.
At 50 yards it will hold a 3-5 shot group well under a .5" assuming that I do my part correctly. I haven't had a whole lot of range time with it at 100 yards but the few times that I have taken that far it held around 1"-2" depending on the wind. I've been meaning to take pictures of the targets but haven't gotten around to it.
Welcome aboard.

Yes, you have to remove it. The bolt carrier will not come out with it still attached.
Yes, as a matter of fact I am. My next build is going to be another AR chambered in .300 Blackout which will utilize an integral suppressor (assuming I can find the correct barrel). I've also been throwing around the idea of building a Remington 700 chambered in .308. I sold my only "people friendly" bolt gun (7mm-08). Now my only bolt gun is a .300 Weatherby Mag. With ammo tt $80 a box, it's not so fun to go "play" with.
The upper receiver came from Alexander Arms. Alexander Arms (to my best knowledge) is who originally came up with and designed the side charging upper for the AR-15 platform. The bolt carrier came from Young Manufacturing.
Love the build pics.
How about........ http://www.tactical-life.com/magazines/tactical-weapons/adcor-defense-m4-upgrade/
That's a whole nuther nut. I'm talking about just a new style bolt carrier group. Of course, one would have to have the upper that allowed for side charging.
