Needless to say I'm stoked beyond words with how this build turned out.
First and foremost a huge thank you to my good friend
@11B CIB ! I could not have done this without his guidance and input on parts selection to his seriously mad skills in building this. I tried my best to throw money at this build, my first, and I think I accomplished my vision. Everything in this build is brand new from top to bottom, front to back.
The specs:
Rainier Arms UltraMatch upper/lower
Rail: Cross Machine Tool (CMT) UPHR – 15.0" Mod 1
BCG: Fathom Arms Enhanced
Buffer: Rainier Arms H Buffer
Buffer Tube: Rainier Arms 6 position

LPK: PSA
Barrel: Rainier Arms UltraMatch .223 Wylde SDM 18” barrel (rifle length gas)
Gas Tube: Rainier Arms SS Rifle Length

Grip: BCM Gunfighter Mod 0 Standard
BUIS: MBUS Pro Front and Rear
Scope: PA 1x-8x ACSS
Scope Mount: Bobro Extended QD
Charging Handle: Griffin SN-ACH
Safety Selector Switch: BAD-ASS Ambi
Harris BRM-S Series Bi-Pod
AND last but not least the Griffin Recce 5 Mod 3 Suppressor
11B CIB and I shot a 20 round mag through it afterwards and it ran flawlessly not to mention the Recce 5 made it quite comfortable shooting without ear pro not that I will be in the habit of doing that. Now to get the BUIS and the scope zeroed and start pouring rounds down this thing.
And I would be remiss if I didn't thank the owner of Weapons Evolution for the giveaway I won. The package included the RA Ultramatch upper/lower, the CMT Rail, a cerakote job of my choosing from Blowndeadline Custom, and about $200 worth of M-Lok rail accessories from North Carolinas very own Arisaka. Will, the owner of Arisaka, is one hell of a nice guy and I urge you to look him up for any type of accessories you may need.
So, as
@11B CIB mentioned, he has all the cool pics so I'm sure they will be up shortly. Let me know what you think! I literally sent a photo of my Dad in his SEAL Team 1 camo in Vietnam to the cerakote guy and he knocked it out of the park.
Cheers and a very Happy 4th to y'all here at my sweet home CFF!
