Oh, I didn't post this one...

The one on the top, I already posted about, but the lower two are .22s.
The second one with the Bushnell on it, from muzzle to stock...
1.Kaw Valley linear compensator because I needed something to make the 9" barrel a little longer for the stupid long handguard that I used. I'll just use it until I can pick up a simple flash can or something.
2. Model One Sales free float tube. This one is 12" and some change long. I used it because I had it. I do have a 10" on the way. I really like using these tubes. They are inexpensive because the come with an aluminum barrel nut and they are LIGHT. They are actually lighter than or as light as going with plastic handguards or other free float setups because there's no steel parts and it's really rigid.
3. The barrel is a 9" CMMG. It's pretty nice and it shoots. Really well.
4. The upper receiver is from MAS Defense. It's a slick side and I think it looks clean. MAS Defense sells some decent stuff at really good prices. I got the upper for $39, I think. It's a blem and I still haven't found the blemish.
5. The bolt group is CMMG with a dedicated collar for the barrel.
6. The sight is a Bushnell TRS-26. I just found out about this model and wanted to try it out. If I was gonna do it over again, for the money, I'd grab a Vortex. Still, the Bushnell isn't bad. It has a big sight window and a very clean dot that will allow for some very precise shooting.
7. The charging handle is just a plain jane model that I modified with JB Weld to keep casings from getting jammed in the handle and to stop the gas from coming through.
8. The lower is a Spike's Tactical with the Spider. I've had it for a long time and it was the basis for my 14.5" AR build that I pulled apart. I love these receivers. I'll tell you how long I've had this lower. I bought it brand new when Spike's wasn't a name yet and got it at my range where I shoot for $59. Try to find a Spike's for that now. LOL
9. The lower parts kit is Aero, as is the trigger. Nothing special. I'm seriously thinking about dropping a Geissele in it.
10. The grip is a Magpul K2. I like the grip angle on these. They really lend themselves to the style of shooting that small AR requires. But, I think I'm gonna look into a couple of Bravo Company Gunfighter Mod 1 or Mod 3 grips.
11. The brace is an SB Mini and the tube is a Phase 5 Hex model designed specifically for the Mini. It has a notch on the back to help to keep the Mini from moving. I did, however, put a layer of Gorilla duct tape on the end. It ain't movin now. In fact, I hope I don't need to get it off. I can't tell you how much I like the SB Mini/Hex tube combo. It's pretty rigid with the strap wrapped very tightly. It's made of all rubber, not plastic like the SBA3. It's also very comfortable to shoot with. If you notice and compare the 5.56 just above it sporting the SBA3, the Mini is the same length and when you fully extend the SBA3, it's only marginally longer. The Mini/hex tube is a GREAT combo. It's super light and unobtrusive.
Now, the one on the bottom, just about everything on the upper is the same as the other, except that it's sporting a shorter free float tube. I build this for my dad who is 82 and wanted something light. Really light and this thing is really light. It feels like a toy.
1. The red dot is an ADCO that I picked up a couple of decades ago. My dad likes the longer tube. The Bushnell was actually supposed to go on his gun, but he likes the ADCO. You know, old dog...new tricks...he shoots with one eye closed and I'm not gonna try to teach him other wise because of that smile on his face. He says he can see more though it and the dot is nice and big.
2. The lower is a plastic job from ATI. It's one of their hybrid lowers with the metal inserts at the back, pivot pin and trigger area. It looks really cool and has that billet look to it. I ran it on a 5.56 for about a thousand rounds so I figure it'll be fine on the .22 and my dad likes the way it looks.
3. The brace and tube are both KAK blade. The tube has the divots in it so that it won't move or spin, but you can easily adjust the length of pull. AND it's LIGHT. It's only a .22 and not much recoil, so I didn't see a need for anything more comfortable.
