New build Shilen barrel - patkin - 06-17-2014 This is my first AR build and decided to make it pretty nice thanks to the guys on this site. Barrel-- Shilen 20" from Midway Trigger-- X-Treme 2 stage Handguard-- Nordic 15 1/2 inch Stock-- MOE with Mako monopod upgrade (cheaper PRS) Upper-- DPMS flat side converted to side charge Lower-- Spikes Mount-- Burris PEPR Scope-- Vortex Viper 6.5x20x50 Gas block-- Yankee Hill Buffer-- H2 Gun cycles good and shoots good. Have shot factory Hornady 123 SST and working on some reloads. Have Lapua brass some Nosler 100 grain and some Hornady 123 SST and IMR 8208 XBR. Here's a group with the SST's. New build Shilen barrel - NugginFutz - 06-17-2014 Quite a way to introduce yourself to the horde, patkin. Welcome! Nice looking stick, and I like your choice of components. Very clean build. Most importantly, of course, it looks like it is a shooter. Who, if you don't mind me asking, did your side charger conversion? New build Shilen barrel - patkin - 06-17-2014 Me. Out in my Kentucky machine shop. :p Thanks New build Shilen barrel - VASCAR2 - 06-17-2014 Very nice, I did a build with the same Shilen Barrel and I'm using a Vortex 6.5 X 20 X 50 Mil Dot scope. This combo surpasses my ability to shoot. Looks like your Shilen is a good shooter too. New build Shilen barrel - Whelenon - 06-18-2014 Looks ike all your efforts are paying dividends. Nice looking stick and it shoots. Congrates on a great build.
