Gecko45 is that you?
Grasshopper, you will learn that too much crap isn't good. The more things you've got, the more chances that something will fail. K.I.S.S. should be your friend. Until then, have fun and enjoy your rifle. Oh yea, welcome to the forum.

Nice but way too much on there.
Try to make a one-trick pony AR ends up being a fad and fail. It's either too heavy to shoot off hand CQB style for long periods of time or it's got so much stuff hanging off it that longer distance accuracy from the bench suffers.

welcome, i'm glad you're first build was so... enthusiastic.
my first build looked similar... unfortunately. i'd reel some of that enthusiasm back on your next build. a few tweaks with function in mind here and there and you'll have a mighty fine carbine.

You can take a pound off that gun just by profiling the barrel under the handguard and shortening it to 14.7" and then permanent attaching the muzzle device.

I'd first just take off the bi-pod, what purpose does it server on that rifle?
Then either chuck the light/vertical grip and keep the magnifier, or vice-versa. That should cut down on the weight significantly

Maybe a lot of us are guilty of the same thing when we first get infected with the disease......I did the same thing until i felt like my carbine looked like a swiss army knife.........I was trying to figure out where to add the phillips screwdriver and the corkscrew........started selling off all of the unneccesary add ons and tried to get back to a simple light weight and fun weapon. I still have to fight the swiss army knife urge, but since I am not helping swat do any raids..........I think I'll hold off..........cool looking carbine though tacticool..........

minus bipod and if you must use a fore grip, just get a grippod. here If you really think that you're going to be shooting a couple hundred yards or more with an entry gun, go for the magnifier, but if not lose it. Take off all 4 rail panels and use black gun tape or camo tape whatever your fancy is, and get an ACE ultra light stock like this And you'll be much better off. Go for a 2 point sling so you can actually carry it or if you want tacticool and hold true, get a single point. I prefer the 2 point now myself after practicing a bit with them. I haven't had a lot of experience with slings, but think thats the way I'd rather have it.

At 25 yards, you should be able to keep a 1" group offhand. That's only 4moa so, anyone with a little training and a half ask good technique should be able to accomplish that.

Weight is not that huge of an issue to me. Everything on that rifle that adds weight also adds ability. Now I don't paticularly agree with everything on his rifle, but there is nothing wrong with having the stuff if you know how to use it. It could possibly save your life. The only thing I would really get rid of on that is the Bi-pod... Keep going brother and welcome to the game. Take everything you read here with a grain of salt.

To each his own, but yeah a little too much for me. I would get rid of everything minus the vertical grip and maybe keep the eotech.

Dude, I think it's freakin' awesome!! Sure it's heavy, but you can strip stuff down if you have the time and make it lighter. I think the 10/20s look better and since they hold the same ammount of rounds as the 10/30s...go for looks. This looks awesome, sucks that it weighs so much, but hey, sometimes style is more important. You got the bipod to eliminate the weight problem anyways. enjoy, and if you're in Nor Cal i'd love to see this thing in person.

That rifle and optic setup at 25yds standing should produce a ragged hole. I've seen a 25yd pistol target shot using irons with a tighter grouping than that. My .02 cut down on all that gear and buy ammo for practice.

Stock triggers typically suck: heavy, not really smooth, and lots of creep. With a heavy crap single stage, you pull and feel immediate heavy resistance which is felt throughout the entire choppy pull until it breaks. A two stage, there is an initial take-up (1st stage) followed by a crisp breaking point (2nd stage). It allows you to more easily control when the gun will actually fire. A quality single stage trigger will also be a great improvement over a stock kit trigger. They are much smoother and crisper, which allows you to control when the gun will fire. Practice dry firing your rifle. Try to squeeze the trigger as slow as you possibly can in a nice smooth motion and try to predict when the trigger will break. I was just thinking that if you're going to spend that kind of money, you might as well put a nice trigger on it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About the weight issue. The 25 yard target (left), I'm sorry to say, is pretty bad. All that weight is having a very adverse affect on your ability to handle the rifle. 12 lbs is heavy heavy heavy for 16'' carbine Having those options available does have value, but that does not mean you need to have them all on the rifle at the same time. Here are some easy modifications to your current configuration based on their intended use Home Defense rifle: Take off the magnifier Carbine: Take off the magnifier and light/vertical grip Extended Distance: Take off the light/vertical grip I'd also just take off the bi-pod and save it for a dedicated scoped-upper.

I see where this is going....
Keep in mind since this is a gallery, I put all that stuff on there just for the pics. When it's in the case, all of it is off except for the light and Aimpoint when kept at home for defense. At the range, just the Aimpoint and magnifier is on. Thanks!!!

yes, yes, stop the bashing! he's a noob that can use constructive critisim, not all out bashing. i'm sure most everyone's fist AR build is very different from their next build and that one is different from the next.
to chime in on the trigger topic, you really need to decide on what kind of shooting your rifle is built for first. if it is a precision rifle, then a match or 2 stage trigger is probably what you want. if it's more of a "battle" rifle, then a standard trigger might be more suitable. of course, in the end its up to the what you like better. it takes trial and error and sometimes buying parts that you end up not liking to find out what works for you. just to share, your build looks shockingly a lot like my first build. although its embarassing, i'll post it here for you to see. i built that before i fired a single shot. i had NO clue what i was doing. it wasn't built for any clear purpose in mind. frankly, i just wanted it to be "tacticool." it's hard to resist when you get your first whiff of the AR. tacticoolness just calls out to you like the aroma of a stripper's lotion. see? i understand. hahaha  since then, i have taken shooting classes, met and talked to tons of shooters, asked opinions, done research, read a ton on the internet, checked out other people's set ups, asked tons of questions, and now have a completely different philosophy that goes into my builds. here is one of my most recent builds. looks totally different and functions a hell of a lot better for its purpose (lightweight/cqb).  so don't let people get you down. go shoot, find out what you like or not like, keep building and enjoy this hobby. welcome to calguns!
