OK ladies...........update time.
I recently received my tax stamps back from the top-cops at DOJ (BATFE) for my SBR build. I started piecing together the upper yesterday . I mean, c'mon.....is it any better to assemble rifles on memorial day? Anyway.....comedy of errors. From little things like the port door rod being the long AR-10T type (instead of the standard length). Didn't find that out (because I'm stupid......and on my 10th beer.....I think) until I was torqueing down the barrel nut. Yep....and bending the rod. No worry though....just threw that one to the side. I'll straighten it later. Other than that, the only thing that tried to fight me was the barrel pin for the Noveske gas block. Once again......probably cause of that 10th beer thing. But HEY! It's Memorial day for cryin out loud.
Between that....and screwing the AAC comp on and off about 50 times (it seemed) to time it right......things came out pretty good.
I'll have pictures to follow soon. I just sent the lowers out to be engraved today. So I should get them back in a couple of weeks. Orion Arms is showing a 2 to 3 week turn around time. And then this baby can be officially assembled (all legal and everything). Once that's done.....I'll do some range time with it and report back to you all.
We're getting close to the 1 year mark since I started gathering parts and processing the paperwork for this little bad-ass machine. Needless to say.........I'm kinda excited about it. All I need parts-wise, is a heavy buffer from our beloved sponsor at heavybuffers.com and I'll be complete. That will be ordered shortly.
More to follow................................................
