Grand Theft Auto 5 AR Build

Post by Candyman »

My 17yo son, Austin is into video games and guns. Last month he asked if I could make a gun like the one in GTA5 that is called the Rifle Carbine. Yes I know dumb name, kind of like jumbo Shrimp.

The rifle in the game is a SBR AR with a skeleton stock that looks close to the Ace stock. In the game a suppressor can be put on the gun. Here is what it looks like.

I told Austin that I could build one that would look almost like it and he said that would be cool.
So my goal is to build the gun as close as I can to the one in the game, but keep the cost under $650. I don't plan to make it a SBR. Instead I will put a fake suppressor over the end of the barrel to give it the look of a SBR.
Here are the parts I have in right now.
Anderson lower with built in triggerguard $40
Image

Anderson upper $40 DPMS charging handel $15
Image

PSA Nickel Boron coated BCG $99
Image

Carbon fiber Free Float Hand Guard 10" $80
Image

16 inch carbin barrel 1/8 twist, with gas block, gas tube and barrel nut $130
Image

These are the grips I had on hand with lower kits. I'm going to go with the Blackhawk grip on the right. LPK $50
Image

Today the Ace buttstock arrived $65
Image

So far I'm at $519.

I'm still waiting on the A2 buffer tube assembly to come in.
Oh! I forgot to order the forward assist and dust cover.
Maybe my buddy has some extra parts at his shop. If the buffer tube arrives this week, I can finish the rifle this weekend.
Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant. For the elephant has tusk and to see him is to have his tusk dig deep into your soul. You will always have a part of you that will be cold and empty.

Where you getting the Anderson upper?
Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn

When I got home from work the buffer tube assembly was in the mail box.
I still need to get a dust cover and forward assist. I had a fake suppressor in my parts box, not the one I want, but put it on till I get one that looks closer to the one in the game.
I have a Magpul angle grip around here and as soon as I find it I will mount it on the gun.

Well, it's finished.
