Somebody Stop Me!!!

[plinkertoo]

Well, here is the end result of 7 weeks of overtime money, an overactive imagination, and a desire to be different. I call it my ARSR-40 (or the Q-36 Illudium Explosive Space ModulatOr)

1. Yankee Hill machine 7” rail extension. ($35)
2. YHM 5” rail extension. 7” no longer made. ($32.50)
3. YHM forearm rail folding front sight #9427. ($59 on Ebay)
4. YHM rear folding sight A2 #9680. ($85)
5. YHM ½” scope riser #9490. ($11)
6. Kel-tec compact forearm. ($11)
7. TDI tactical vertical grip. (17.95)
8. Panther tactical flashlight and switch. ($28)
9. UTG 5 slot tri-rail mount x 2, to make 1 quad rail. ($60)
10. UTG 2 slot tri-rail mount. ($16)
11. BSA multi dot reflex site. ($49.97)

Sum total = $405 + a probable $100 in total shipping costs. No 2 of these items came in the same shipment.



By removing the compact forearm, I was able to move the rear mount about ¾” further back, to locate the rear flip sight nearer to the stock position. I may still put the compact forearm back on it to make it look nicer, but the vertical fore grip is fine for now. If I do this it will have something like Scout rifle type sights, but the rear peep has a large aperture opening for 0-200yds, so I should still be OK. The sight line for the AR sights is approximately ½” higher than the stock sights, so I’m going to zero at 25 or 30yds, and work from there. Whatcha think, aside from the fact that I’ve gone off the deep end?

SOMEBODY PLEEZE STOP ME!!!

Okay now take a deep breath and say

"Hello, my name is Plinkertoo and I'm a Kel-Tecaholic."

Keeewwwll! Great assembly and I kind of like it less the front grip. Form follows function and the grip is down below so who needs the shell. Stop you? . . . Heck no, or how am I going to learn what can really be done with one of these. Besides that's what overtime is for afterall. Nice work Sir and the Martian would be honored.

And the nice thing is I only have to pop 2 screws on the top rail, and a thumbscrew on the front sight, and it still folds completely. Of course I have to remount them before I can point it at anything. But this is how it's kept at home. It's only folded to case and go to the range. This weekend is the acid test. How well will the mounts hold up to the vibration of 100 rds fired?

[deadlychopstick]

just don't drop it.

it's weird because i'm sure it's very secure, but at the same time it seems like if you drop it it'll break like a porcelain cup.

one word:
loctite!

[bizzarr1]

well, I like it.....
looks a little like mine....

Hmmm.....that looks strangely familiar;

Plinkertoo,
I think your new avatar may have appeared in the string today.... and yes it does look quite a bit like your S2K above.

[plinkertoo]

Why thank you guys! I took it to the range today, and it sighted in fairly easily. The rear sight rail assembly maintained it's longitudinal alignment, but shifted back on the barrel about 1/4" during around 75 rds of shooting. I'm going to remount the compact forearm to hold the sight assembly in place that way, which means I'll have to add my spacers again, but overall I'm really happy with the end result. After I co-witnessed the red dot, I really had a ball putting stuff downrange. I never realized how much quicker you could acquire a target with one of those.

plinkertoo, it looks great! Congrats!

Yes, looks great, but is there a can opener on it? Compact fore end sound like a good idea. Fully accessorized comes to my mind when I see it. Thanks for the pics.
