Evil Black Rifle

So once again I now own an Evil Black Rifle:
Some assembly required.

One more benefit of attending Gun Blogger Rendezvous, courtesy of WGM Tactical of Grass Valley CA.

Just need to find a couple of parts. Timing might be good here as I'm told that EBR's are now a glut on the market. Now if only people would ease up on their purchases of .22lr.

What fun awaits you! Are you going to go 5.56 NATO, or something different? I just recently saw some good prices on .458 SOCOM uppers.

Last I checked, Bravo Company had "demo" uppers for about $70 -- been tempted to order one myself.

According to their website, an upper receiver group starts at about $700.

The complete kit, exc lower receiver, can be had for $480-$500 from Natchez or Aim Surplus

O.K. I found the scratch and dent item. Assembly required, $80.

Well, not all AR uppers are created equal. Nor are all lower parts kits. Bravo Company is considered premium -- maybe not quite as high-end as Noveske.

FWIW, buy an LPK without a FCG and pistol grip. Then choose a good FCG and whatever pistol grip you like. I'm a fan of the Magpul MOE pistol grip. The mil-spec single-stage FCG in my DPMS is awful. I hear disparaging comments about DPMS here and there, but my DPMS AR is fine, except for that FCG. IIRC, my other lower has a Rock River LPK, with single-stage trigger, and it's much better. Lately, in a lower-priced FCG, I've read good things about the ACT trigger, such that I'm quite tempted to buy one.

For example: White Oak LPK no FCG or grip. Get an ACT trigger and a MOE grip from the same place.
