First AR build - laxlife27 - 11-14-2011
The below is my first foray into the black gun world...and I'm hooked! I definitely learned the hard way about accuracy problems due to an under-torqued barrel nut. I am primarily using Hornady 123 AMAX factory loads and getting 3/4 MOA at 100 yds. An upgraded trigger and side-charging upper/bolt (either LAR or AA) are planned future mods.
20" stainless Alexander Arms barrel, M4 feed ramps, rifle length gas
A2 flash hider
YHM gas block/tube
YHM diamond rifle length hand guard
USA Tactical Firearms upper and lower (Statesville, NC)
DPMS lower parts kit
Hogue grip
Magpul PRS stock
Burris PEPR scope mount
Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40

Looks good. What was your torque value at?

looks good, working out the problems can be half the fun
