6.8 Rem SPC build

[allrockabilly]

Very nice I can't wait for the final pics when you have it all complete.

I would love to do a build like yours some day but like Hoss I am Also a little impatient sometimes plus I still have a lot to learn. I have been looking into possibly getting a 6.8 Rem SPC upper for my Stag Arms model2. But for the prices I am seeing for a nice upper I could start saving and put that towards my own build or even another "OK" AR (I'm also looking into a 308 I sure would like an LMT308).

I've learned a lot just since I bought my Stag and am now trying to decide if I want to put more money into my Stag model 2 or start over with a better platform.
My Stag Arms model 2 is pretty much stock as far as internals. I have just added and replaced most of the basics with all MagPul MOE (I really want to float the barrel and put a nice free floating quad rail in and replace the front sight post with a low profile gas block so I can use flip up BUIS)

Let us know how you like that Aimpoint with LaRue mount. I am using a basic L3 EoTech 512 but I have been looking at others I might switch too when I get or build a new rifle. I do like EoTech's though I might just drop some money on the 3x or 4x magnifier with flip to side mount.

Anyways excellent build you have going on there. I am definitely jealous. I sure could learn a lot from you and of course the other members of the COTEP family.

Again very nice,

Here are some quick photos of the complete upper sitting on my old DPMS lower, with a mini comparison of the SOPMOD vs the E-Mod. Once I receive the Aimpoint, I'll take a few additional photos and will type up a review of it.











As I've also got a Vltor E-Mod, I'll compare the two against each other.

The cheekweld of the two stocks are both very similar (and very nice), and I'd have a hard time choosing one over the other. I'd heard of individuals complaining of the E-Mod grabbing facial hair, but since I don't have a beard I can't comment on that directly.

I prefer the storage compartments of the E-Mod over the SOPMOD. In order to access the battery storage of the SOPMOD, the stock must be removed from the extension. The lower compartment of the E-Mod is beneficial for lube, ear plugs, and other small items.

The E-Mod is a little longer in the recoil pad area, and the toe is curved downward which gives it a slightly different feel when shouldering it.

The one area where the SOPMOD is superior to the E-Mod is in the lockup department. In the 3rd position of the Vltor 5 position extension, the SOPMOD exhibits almost no movement. The SOPMOD stock on a BCM 6 position extension fits very snugly, to the point of significant effort being required to slide it from position to position. Once in position, almost no movement is noticed. The E-Mod stock moves more than the SOPMOD on both extensions, but it's not enough to cause any concern.

The length of the E-Mod is 7 3/4" along the top edge, and the SOPMOD is 7 3/8" in length. If you typically run your AR in more of a nose to charging handle position, the extra length of the E-Mod may be a small benefit.

I've very happy with both stocks and would have a hard time choosing one over the other. I may add side by side pics of both if anyone's interested.
