View Full Version : Something I actually feel like working on.

Me, a build thread that I'll actually keep up on? YES.

Since the zombies are coming...I figured I'd get myself an AR15. Picked up a Double Star Corp. Star15 DS-4 CAR, 16" barrel, A2 upper. Purchased at Elite Firearms in Hermitage, PA.

I do not like the A2 upper at all. The only reason I bought the gun, was because it was available, and cheap at $750. I'll be doing an extensive list of modifications over time, with a few major parts coming in the near future.


Magpul UBR Stock (If I can find one)
Sun Devil Billet flat top upper reciever
VLTOR Weapons Systems CASV-EL handguard
YHM flip up rear sight
Magpul MIAD Modular Grip
Magpul enhanced trigger guard
BOBRO vertcal foregrip
VLTOR offset scout mount (flashlight mount)
Single point sling (yet to decide on which one)
Magpul 30rnd Pmags.
Aimpoint or Trijicon optics (distant future)
Consider this nothing but a "before" picture:

Hitting a gun show in Youngstown, OH this weekend. Hopefully I'll find some of the stuff I want, otherwise I'm ordering just about all of it online as soon as I get back. Stay tuned for updates and I put her together!

You need to sell that Hogue grip to Wrecker or Jenn. Once they see how much better it is over stock they will be all over it.

Ordered the forearm tool and an A2 front site tool tonight. No sense in all of us buying the same tools. Let me know if any of you need to borrow these.

I'm still waiting for mine. I bought a Stag from Pete @ Shadow River Productions right before the election. He's a vendor on pirate. www.evil-black-rifles.com

Cool. I was actually poking around on his site a few days ago. Planning any mods, if so, start a build thread...I think everyone should!

Many parts were bought today!

500rnd. case of Wolf .223, $139.00
VLTOR CASV-EL handguard $235.00
VLTOR E-MOD stock $119.00
The AR15 armorers tool...it does it all $30

Yeah...I spent A LOT of money today, and I still need a new stripped upper, and a rear sight.

NOW, I find that I have a commercial stock tube, and need to change it also. Why the hell they ever changed from all mil-spec, I don't know. I SHOULD HAVE BUILT THIS DAMN THING!!!

Got the rest of my parts today. Everything came extremely fast, especially for $6.95 flat rate shipping. Ordered Sunday night, and it was here at noon. Took an hour or so to swap everything out, and here she is:

Steve, I've got a shitload of AR parts/acc. LMK if your looking for anything in particular. Might be able to work out a trade for those XJ springs you have. I have a 37mm launcher (M-203 style) that would look badass on your AR. Nice rifle by the way..............:025:

Dammit Jeff! Don't tempt me on the launcher! It will snap right on to my handguard! Thanks for the kind words!

Steve, is that barrel 16"??? Almost looks like a pencil weight 18". Might just be the pics though........

The gun started out as a lightweight carbine. Its a 16" DSC barrel, which ill be trading in for a 10" or 12" Noveske stainless with a big fat piggy flash supressor eventually.

That thing is badass! AAAAAAAAHHHH...I might have to trade. What kind of rounds have you pushed through it?

I do think it would look badass... However, your next quest will end up being for ILLEGAL grenades to launch.






























































I so see this going bad...

Very cool. I'll be waiting for another month for my AR. But, I've been busy. I have 1250 rounds of brass sitting in the closet and another 250 on the way. I also got an Aimpoint ML3 2MOA with the Live.com dealio. This shit is addictive.
LMK how the wolf works out. It's a helluva lot cheaper than the brass I've been buying.

Man, I wish I woulda caught the live.com deal. I'm guessing you only paid about $250 - $300 at most for that ML3. I've read about people picking up Trijicon ACOG's for around $500 with that deal...good stuff, unheard of deals!

I want something with adjustable...been looking at the Trijicon 1.25 - 4 scope, and also the Leupold tactical line. I'm in to a lot of money...optics are out until I can sell my Browning A-Bolt off, and even at that, I may just start my POF gas piston .308 with that cash. Its a total addiction!

I got the deal for $400 ($300 after the 25% off). I mean C3, not ML3. My bad.

BTW, if you use the $20 off $100 coupon at Cabela's, you can get ammo for a pretty decent deal. They have a $30 off $150 right now.

Rambo didn't have an AR, so none. How many Henry Rollins poses have you done in your mirror?
