The Lovely Harvey has come to a decision about the configuration of The Purple AR.
We're also going to follow along as she builds (well as she picks and I assemble).
What we have on hand:
Cav Arms purple furniture set.
Commerical carbine receiver extension with buffer and spring.
Mid-Length 16" 6.8 SPC II 1:11 barrel and bolt with A2 style flash-hider and standard FSB with frontsightparts.
YHM folding rear sight.
Echo's Purple Sling
Having a parts bin is handy (some links are representational).
What we need:
Upper receiver.
Lower receiver.
Lower parts kit.
Upper parts kit.
Bolt carrier.
The upper and lower have been ordered. Aero-Precision's Huckleberry set for $150. That leaves about $65 for the lower parts kit, $20 for the upper parts kit, $125ish for the bolt carrier group.
Then a name.
Optional is getting something engraved on the mag-well and cerakoting the receivers purple.
Some sort of optic is likely as well.
All in all, a fairly standard build except for the alternate caliber.
