Since I was already geared up for building this weekend. I figured that since I finished up the SBR yesterday, I'd keep driving forward and start the next build. So, it's off to my 2nd AR-10 SASS. I plan for this one to end up with a kick ass tiger stripe paint job courtesy of my brother 98. I've got all the parts on hand for this one except for the glass. I'll go stumble through the door of my local gun pusher once I finish this one to find a nice optic.
I got the complete rail and gas system from our man Pat Raley (Thanks Pat) a couple years ago. Before that, I had found a steal of a deal from Armalite for a complete upper with the SASS barrel, but with standard plastic handguards and flashider.. So I've been sitting on that one just waiting for the right time. I'll ditch the plastic handguards, and replace them with the SASS quad rail/adjustable gas system. Then I'll replace the flashider with an AAC brake. Oh, I'll lose the standard charging handle and replace it with a Raptor.
All Armalite parts except for the Geissele SSA-E, Raptor charging handle and the PRS stock.
So, for now, we'll move on to the pics. I put the lower together today, and I'll get to re-building the upper probably next weekend.

Here it is with the plastic handguard upper snapped to it just to test function.

Up close and personal.
