VERY NICE Ripp!

Looks like you've got one helluva rifle put together there. Keep us posted on how she shoots...

Will Do...

I was afraid to do this because I've never messed with AR's before... But, HK Pistols and trigger jobs are 3x harder to do than this.

Just need to re-do my Mossberg 930 Spx and off to 3gun I go ...

Easy Peasy ... Next will be AR10 build and a AR for the wifey

Very well done! I like the carbon fiber finish on the handguard. Interesting touch!
Yeah I like it ... helps alittle; the heavy barrel is a heavy barrel...LOL

Hand Guard is made by PRI and is made out of dry carbon fiber ... so its pretty lite...

I have often wondered about the canted sights, What is the benefit?
Looks like a great set up!

ultimately they are quicker than cowitnessing your irons with your scope... I plan on using my Bushnell Scope for 100+yrds shooting and my Dueck Defense RTS for 5 - 100yrds targets...

this vid can explain, how they come into play:

Really cool! I too like the CF handguard!

I've often wondered bout the offset sights, but ultimately I believe I'll stick with what I have... I really like my A2 front post.

If/When I build another, I'll look into that more!

Nice work!

I'm glad you took the plunge bro. ARs are way easier to build than the damn LEGO pirate ship I helped my nephew put together last Christmas! Keep us posted on your 3gun progress. Can't wait to hear about your experience...
 
Thanx guys ... I cant wait to get out there. But man freaking ammo is expensive!!! LOL

Anyone wants to sponsore a crappy shooter $2500 for a Dillon Super 1050 soo I can load 223 or 5.56 ??? hahaha
 
Can't foot the bill for that one, but I'll donate some spent brass after my next range trip... :D
