Threw together a spare parts special last week and took it to the range today.
It did well, 100 rounds of AG 123gr was an easy 1 MOA with the 3x prism. Even did (mostly!) 2MOA with Wolf. But man, that BA Hanson is hella overgassed with the non-adjustable block it comes with. Probably could use a H buffer and spring instead of the carbine buffer assembly I threw in there, and/or an AGB. No problems cycling, just throwing casings with a lot of vigor, stuff was flying four lanes over, even with Wolf.
Guess I need to spend a little actual money on it after all, instead of just feeding it leftovers.
Only thing I bought "new" for the build was a used BA Hanson 16" 1:8 barrel with BA gas block and tube I picked up here on the forum. Everything else was a leftover or spare.
STNGR HWK 15" Handguard
Brownells/AH upper, generic lower
Brownells 6.5 Grendel BCG (bought two for my last build, as a spare)
Rise AR140 trigger pack
Odin Works Atlas 6.5 comp
UTG MLOK two-piece bipod
Primary Arms ACSS 3x Prism (Gen 2)
Carbine buffer and spring
Magpul FDE furniture
SI charging handle.
Painted with Brownells Magpul FDE Alumahyde coating, which I didn't let cure long enough, but oh well.
Upper lapped, barrel fit was rubber mallet-tight without shimming.
