Project Spectre

[Powder94]

I've been wanting to do this for a while. This is gonna be another build, but a different kind of build. I'm still in the planning stages so I won't go into detail too much right now. It won't be a very extensive build as it will only require the purchase of a few (expensive ) parts. I can tell you that it will be bad a** when it's done. I'm gonna need some help from you guys with some opinions to help make some tough decisions, should be fun though.

I'm appropriately naming this build:

Project: Spectre

spec·ter
   [spek-ter]
noun
1. a visible incorporeal spirit, especially one of a terrifying nature; ghost; phantom; apparition.

I'll give you a hint: It's chambered in 5.56 NATO (.223 Rem)

The wording slightly confuses me, is it a sly way of saying bullit? I might be just lost but when I think 5.56 NATO I think M16. I like the red white and blue and the awesome project name though, looking forward to seeing what you do with your already really nice Mustang  

[Powder94]

Haha sorry, it's not built yet but I'll be starting soon. You're close not an M16 but an AR-15 carbine.

I wanna do a FDE & black color combo similar to this:

[Plums95]

YOU NEED TO GET A BETA MAGAZINE!!!!!

Wow that's bad a** only downside is it's $230 lol $70 more and I can have my lower receiver. For now I'm gonna stick with some FDE Maglevel PMAGs with black ranger plates

Interesting colorcombo... Now I'm wondering what you're gonna do under the hood...

[Powder94]

lol I''m pretty much waiting until the next gun show comes around so I can pick up my Spike's Tactical lower receiver. It's $249.00 not bad for a Mil Spec lower.

Maybe this will give you an idea of what's under the hood lol

My stock came in today. It was hard to decide between the ACS and the CTR, but in the end I opted for the CTR.

Magpul is some great stuff!

[Powder94]

Definitely! I'll be adding many more of their products to the list. They make quality gear for decent prices. I don't wanna cut corners with this rifle.

Bought my lower receiver at the gun show this past Sunday it's the spikes tactical lower with a standard parts kit and enhanced heavy buffer. I also had the guy install the Magpul ASAP (Ambidextrous Sling Attachment Point) it was all assembled by The Arms Room, great guys and they had it together in no time.   











On a side note the YHM Black Diamond Specter upper receiver is already on its way
