I don't need to see this....

It looks like have and aero on the way!

Dammit, Nodak Spud emailed me today, my XM177 parts list is now complete. That was an expensive email....

Here is his GF...

so far.....

So I emailed them after hours on friday, and the first thing this morning I had a tracking number and an apology. Awesome CS in my book. My stripped set is a Matrix Aerospace, good stuff. built to A specs. This is the one missing... 25 EB0110 EJECTOR/SAFETY SPRING

Bump?

Yeah what he said, I'm still building my .308 so no experience there... But with the M4's I have they are dead on.

I have used duracoat in the past with the activator, and it was pretty easy to do, but the krylon method may be my next adventure. I am going to hydro dip a couple of bows, and I may toss an AR into the pot.

I picked up a few Matech rears for cheap, I really like them.

I add things to my cart then wait for a free shipping code to pop up on the home page.

When I first headed down the AR10 road, I read as much as I could about them, and the differences between the Ar10a, AR10b, SR25, and the LR308 and it was in one of the many articles I read by Internet " experts". It didn't make sense to me, but who am I to question the experts? I gained a lot more knowledge just joining here.

Paid my transfer fee for my Matrix Aerospace upper and lower!

Well I'm almost fully assembled, my LPK came with a bolt cotter pin instead of the safety detent spring, and I'm guessing they aren't interchangeable......

I picked up the upper and lower today! Looks really good, it was a blem set, and the only thing wrong were some dings on the upper rail where my BUIS will sit anyway. There could be some other things I could pick on, but it's really nothing I care about. I still have to put the LPK and the buttstock on. So I have a question, I was reading that the only difference between the ar15 forward assist and the ar10 was the spring. I assembled the FA using ar15 parts and it looks like it's good. Am I missing something?

I have a few of the metal Brownells mags on pre-order, if they are as nice as their AR15 mags I'll be happy.

Underside

Looks to be about 12.5" with the nut, not sure who made it.

I have one, it's a round knurled jobber.

Ohh there's Efile! Sweet! Questions still need to be submitted in writing.

Good call, mags are supposed to fit up to 2.875" and I'm at 2.80". I got room to spare! We'll see how it works out in practice..

So I have everything on order and I'm out just over 1k for the whole thing. I now have everything but glass, rings, and a Turner sling. But I plan to steal that from my varminter Ar15 for now. I should have all parts in hand in the next 10 days or so, I'll keep you posted! I hope Brownells gets my preordered mags here in time, or I have a fancy semiauto single-shot rifle. Thanks for all your help!

Ohh nice thread! Here's the old ball and chain....

Yesterday my Armalite LPK, and A2 buttstock assembly. Today my offset BUIS's. Tomorrow my upper and lower set arrives.

That looks really good! I'm putting my final ducks in a row for mine! I hope it shoots as well as yours .
