Well like signal5 after I got home this evening from going to the Larue 3-gun and meeting Cold,Art,bucknrut,Frank. This was waiting for me when I got home. I was so excited after the kid went to bed I went out and assembled the lower and slapped on the EO.

It is the one withth a1 stock(thanks Paulo)The m4 stock is my Doublestar

I will have buis coming soon just hadn't ordered



I can't take pics very well but you get the idea.
Just a run down :
stag 6.8 marked lower
cmmg lpk
ergo sure grip
woa rra tuned 2-stage with ss springs
a1 stock
buffer
ss flatwire spring
EOTech D1

I can't get to the range until Wednsday but that leaves me time for hand cycling an admiring.

Had to put up a range report. I will try to get some pics tonight. Took my sweetheart to the range last night to have some fun. Got it sighted in on the 50yd and zeroed groups were about 1" with SSA 110 pro hunters. Then cleaned and pushed 110gr prohunters tactical loads. This showed that the upper really likes the hot stuff the groups tightend up I put one 5-shot group of tac loads inside a five shot group of the regular. The average at 50 was a little less than 3/4" so moved to 100yds and it opened a little. about 1"-1-1/4" Now I attribute this to the fact that I have never shot an EOTech and I might not be shooting one much longer. At least not on the Extreme. I know this rifle has a lot more accuracy than that.
The brass was perfect in both types (reg ph and tac ph) showed no signs on the brass everything functioned perfectly. Couldn't tell you what angle they were ejecting I had a bag on the gun for the brass there are some brass hawks were I shoot.

Overall very impressed with the rifle. Not impressed with the EOTech and I may wait till after the hog hunt in May to put somthing else on.
Thanks, Harrison for making a great upper :D

I was thinking about the magnifier. I might move the Eo to a 556 after I get it built and scope the Extreme so it can reach full potential.

Well I promised pics with the range report so here are some. Just a disclaimer this is not usual for the Extreme this is me getting used to a red dot and trying to sight it in at the same time.
this is two groups inside each other. The smaller group are the tactical p.h. from SSA at 50 yds

This was my last and best group at 50 yds before moving to 100yds

This was one of two groups at 100yds. probably used a difficult target for a red dot as part of the problem


So not the best shooting but its a start. As I said I would blame me and the red dot.

Definitely looks like a great start... depending on what red dot you have you can be covering 1-4 inches of target at 100 so holding less than that is very good....

It is a EO 552D1 just the 1 moa dot. That target is also some left overs I have that I was wanting to burn up. I think results would have been better with a different target. And also the red dot. I am used to groups like the second picture without the flyer at 100yds. But that is also with bolts and a large scope. So some of this could be coming from unreasonable expectations of what the EO can do.

james, for a shotgun it looks pretty good. :lol: :lol: Just kidding, looks great, I can't wait to get mine. I am still contemplating a scope, I was thinking about a red dot but I think a scope would work better for me. The offers still good for the custom built smoker. :lol:

Those are great groups at 50 yards. For 100 yards you should use bigger targets or a magnifier.

Thats what I was thinking. For a scope those targets are huge. The ones I normally shoot are much smaller then that. But with just the dot it was kind of hard to settle on just one spot at 100. I will try again with a larger target and see what happens.

Looks nice. Your lower seems to match with the upper the same as mine. I wonder if Constructor got these from Stag (the upper receiver only) because mine matches perfectly in color the same as yours from the pics
