Default First AR Project Complete

I finally finished my first AR project. I built the lower and bought a complete upper from JSE Surplus. I had a full length handguard on at first, but just recently changed it out. I like the new one better. Here are a few shots of the finished product. I still need to make a decision on an optic though.

Congrats! Nice looking. It's always nice to get the first one completed. I have spares to build 2more at some point.

Looks good. What kind of optic are you considering?

I'm on the fence between the Vortex Strikefire and the Nikon P-223 3-9x40.

Very nice! But way out of my price range considering this was supposed to be a "budget" build.

Also considering the P-223 3x32 but nobody has them in stock.

My local gun shop has some Aimpoint Comp M-2, military sights. They're waterproof, nitevision compatable and has an extra battery compartment. They go for $700 new and they're selling them for $350. For anyone who's interested. My son-in-law bought one and he loves it.
