In late March, I built an upper for a buddy of mine in South Texas. He wanted something a little... eclectic, but simple!
His choice was a 20" bull barreled .264LBC (type 1 at the time), with the stainless finish. Mated everything to match the FDE that he had on the lower. So the upper has a Hogue Overmold in Tan and is matched well with the Aero Precision M4 upper receiver.
When he received the upper, his test shots at 100yards were easily sub-.50MOA. So far, he's tested out to about 500 yards, maybe further depending on the story (hahah).
Nonetheless, once he started shooting it more and more, it simply got easier and easier to shoot! Fast forward to November 2011.
He is a guide for a hunting ranch in South Texas, and between March and November, I had moved down to South Texas for work. This hunting ranch brings all sorts of folks, including the one and only J. Guthrie. More about that at a later time.
Some folks have come down to the ranch, and as a guide, he takes his rifle with him, which has the upper I built for him attached. Some are curious, others are downright non-believing that it will take animals down. It's an AR... well.... an AR with a bigger bore, and a lot more goodies to offer.
The AR in it's completed form:
