My new DTech 224 Valkyrie

Good Lord. Izzat a 30" barrel on that? Man, that looks a mile long.

Doesn't have to touch if you fire enough and get it hot enough.

No doubt. One fine September day on the range, aka. SPENDEX, they had us doing mag dump after mag dump on burst. Sanity finally prevailed when one of the German officers had a round cook off in the mag (nothing spectacular, other than the lower receiver being a little over 1/8" wider than normal), but our M16A2s were so hot that the front sling swivel was melting the sling.

Here is an assembly I did after taking advantage of Black Friday deals in 2015. Had no problems ringing steel @ 400 yds in the AAS matches at FLD in Warrenton. I scavenged parts for other builds and it has been sitting incomplete since middle of 2016 (until today).

I'm bias to rifles, mostly because I carried an M16A2E3 for forever, would be nice to have an SBR for the truck.

AR pistol for the truck. You’re not out a $200 stamp if something happens, and can legally be concealed if you have your CHP.
 
P, why don't you buy one of the Coyote Brown B5 SOPMODs? Let me get you a pic of how good the match is.

Edit. The RIS is a bit darker but I like the look.

I have a set of Coyote (pictured on my 12.5 above the MK18) and it may end up on this rifle. I traded a single 33rd glock mag for this stock and grip so just messing around with it for the fun of it.

It’s like we are playing FN Scar’s 50 shades of FDE :D

I *think* the one I have is darker because it's that military contract version overrun that Brownells had. Maybe not, might just be the lighting.
 
This ancient Pre-Ban, sear blocked Colt range rental followed me home today.
To give you folks an idea as to how long this was a rental, it's been there for more than two decades, actually longer than I can remember.........20190810_215046.jpg
The biggest on the long list of new parts its going to get is a new LMT barrel......
