Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles New build for my daughter...

Just finished putting this together for my daughter. It's a Scorpion lower and upper cerakoted by Eddie Fosnaugh. The lower parts kit is White Oak Armament with an ALG trigger and Magpul aluminum triggerguard. Stock kit is from BCM with a Magpul MOE stock. Barrel is a custom 18" lightweight contour from Black Hole Weaponry, 1:8" twist, Wylde chamber. Rock River BCG. Troy 12" handguard with Magpul XTM rail panels in black and pink. Up top is a Leupold VX-2 3-9x40 with CDS zero stop dial in a LaRue mount.

Special thanks to Jeff (rost495) for supplying the barrel nut. I needed one last minute because I got caught with my pants down when I found out the Troy rail didn't come with one, and he hooked me up.



Took it to the range today with a bunch of 69gr Sierra Match Kings loaded with CFE223. Here's a 10 shot group at 100 yards.

Nicely done Dan.

How's that trigger?

I like it a lot. The other rifle I was shooting has a Geissele and honestly, I'd be happy with the ALG. Especially for the money.

Daughter = very lucky. Looks good and shoots good. She should like it.

could you let us know what the rifle weights with the scope?

Jimmy, I want to say it was 8lbs on the nose (no mag), but I'll check again.

8 pounds with scope is really good, let me know!

Just shy of 8lbs.

That is what I want but no pink for me

Very very nice.

Nice job Dan!

Thanks Eddie. I might have to send you this barrel to have cerakoted at some point, but I'm going to shoot it for a while first.

I do have another project I want to send your way before hunting season rolls around though. I'll shoot you a PM here shortly.

Shoots lights out.

Wow. Really?!?!?

The Black Hole barrel looks like its performing well. I'm in the market for a mid priced barrel. Looks like I need to give them a call Monday. Did you order the barrel during the current shortage? How long did it take to deliver? Can't decide between 18" mid gas or 20" rifle gas.

I ordered my barrel in November if I remember correctly, and it showed up in April. The wait was longer than I was promised, but it appears to have been worth the wait.

Why not 18" rifle?

You're correct, I misspoke. Decision between 16 mid & 18 rifle. Going with 18" with rifle gas. Think I'll use the Samson Revolution guard. Will go with the 12.37 length.

Clark, I assume you went with a mid length gas system (the 12" handguard wouldn't cover rifle length gas).

Correct, mid-length gas system on this one.

I am trying to figure out how to get the barrel nut and barrel out of a Vis upper right now with the idea to put a BH barrel in it. Why Midlength gas 18 or rifle gas 18? I would think they would both be about equal performance wise.
