My 45AR never did have a last round bolt hold - so I put a MagPul Bad Lever on it - that way, I can control the bolt lock, when I need to. Just a thought.

I have a new one for @Magwa... You tell me brother - do we need more of her?... I'll await your response... Tell you right now, man - she's WAY MORE than what you might think from that one pic. Your call...

How YOU feelin' right now, brother? You know, I'm just checking in. Haven't see you in a day or three. You good?... At the absolute INSANE speed that @DayWalker has to move on this project, just to get his BADASS MK12 - 6 ARC build done by Fall Shoot - I completely think that he would smoke you. He's already ahead. I don't think you can get a more badass gun together before he can. But, maybe I'm wrong on that one... Think you can take him?... Asking for a friend...

I think this Fall Shoot will have @Matt.Cross just about guts-deep in some 6 ARC. I'm not clairvoyant or anything, and I'm no mind-reader... I just have that feeling...

Already in my will and Trust... It doesn't have your name on it, but it's got hers. No offense, I hope. You already have enough of my shiit.

There's a PILE beyond that, brother. That's accounted for, completely. I wouldn't do that to you guys... This was an account that I forgot about...

Well done... I say in advance. Savage,... is,... exactly right.

It's pretty gracious of everyone here that you were given until the Fall Shoot to get your invocation of The Rule emplaced upon you - it usually happens much, MUCH faster. The reprieve should be a blessing, but it better not be an excuse for not getting it done. Eyes are watching...

There are no "distractions" for you, my man. YOU are the one that The Rule was emplaced on. No pressure, though... You have no choice but to perform, here... I'm just over here making SURE that my side of this shiit is handled...

Yeah, it is... and I'm watching YOU, too... If you don't bring a badass 6 ARC to the Fall Shoot, then you're fuckin' FIRED...

If "all others" can't tell already - this thread just isn't about a gun build. THIS RIGHT HERE has magically morphed into a Giant Pile of SHIIT TALKING... So, let's not disappoint, alright?... Bring it, when you wanna bring it...

If they don't understand the Meals, then I'll break it down for them... I can't wait to see what they teach for wind reading, and that "OH SHIIIIT!!!" moment when the winds go above 12 mph, and your mirage disappears... When that happens, ya gotta do SOMETHING, right?... That LaRue upper set will be moving here by tomorrow or the next day. With the mount and the Athlon Ares BTR 2.5~15 scope.

You willing to travel to Utah in early August, brother?... Just a weekend... Set you back about $400, course fee... Working on the logistics right now...

I just found a pile of money that I didn't know that I really had... SO... this 6 ARC is gonna progress faster than I thought. I think I'll sign up for a Long-Distance Shooting School, too - just to see what they're doing. More details on that later. Class date, early August. @Matt.Cross might have a serious ass-whippin' coming, by the time we get to the Fall Shoot...

Yeah, Matt - thanks for that link! You know, the information wasn't that important, but that link is MINT, brother!... Hey, @DayWalker...

That's a regular old A2 stock, and I put a Noveske Flush Cup in it. Hat Tip to @blue109 on that wonderful piece of kit. I put one on my Mk11, too.

I'm with ya on that one... If @Radioactive woulda shown me more of that horse, I might like it better, but it's hard to complete with Dat Ass in the pic... There just wasn't enough horse...

Good Call, brother - you're gonna end up real close to this when you're done... If you layed my Mod 1 5.56 gun down, and put Matt's Mod 1 Grendel next to it, and walked away... you'd get confused as to which one is which, when you walked back to them...

LaRue 12" rail, brother. Hands down. There were actually some of the SF guy that used LaRue uppers over there. They'd buy them on their own, slap them on their M4A1 lowers, and run with scissors. The LaRue was definitely - in some circles - better than that KAC rail that was on the original Mod 1s. Can't tell a Clone Builder that, or a Purist, though -you know, those same guys that insist that you MUST use a Swan Sleeve, yada yada yada... IMHO, if you want it - the only thing better-for-the-money that you can put in this for a trigger - Again, LaRue kick, that MBT-2S is badass for rifles like this, and you just cannot beat that price. The only other trigger that's gonna smoke it - and you'll pay - is a Geissele Hi-Speed National Match. That went into my Mod 0, and it went into my 18" Grendel SPR. And, it went into @Matt.Cross' Grendel Mod 1. SAH-WEET TRIGGER!!! I'd save that G Hi-Speed NM for your Mod 0, down the road. Just run the MBT-2S in this one. It won't let you down. Wait 'til this Fall, and shoot my G triggers more... This whole thing has me somewhat excited. It'll end up looking like this, after I paint the shiit out of it: Mark LaRue makes some damn nice, hard-as-woodpecker-lips equipment - but it's sexy AF, too... Barrel update - it's back to Thursday, again... Time to start picking up some of that Hornady Match ammo and Black ammo...

You bite your tongue - that's a 19X, Mister...

Just slap an M-LOK rail section on the bottom of that thing, and mount up an AccuShot Monopod. https://www.accu-shot.com/Accu-Shot-Monopod-Mounting-Options.php You could even mount up the MagPul M-Lok Sling Stud, and use that AccuShot sling-stud-mounted mono...

Indeed, if could be too low, and we have a HELL of a thread here on that very issue. I'm pretty sure it's in the 80% Section. I thought about a low mag catch (the machining of it) very first, based on your info, but I wanted to know about that mag catch's internal parts first. I'm sure someone here can find that thread on the mag catch heights. It's a whole lot of details. Before that would be a solution - you need tocheck how much further into the upper receiver that your magazine will go. You'll need to clay the upper, just like you'd do if you were checking an engine for piston-to-valve clearance.

^^^ That batch right there looks exactly like my last ex-wife, from behind. Great ass on that girl - whacked out mind, though.

My barrel made it to Phoenix today, at 11:26pm. I don't understand how it's gonna take until Friday tomove it another 45-ish miles south, to me. Is what it is. If it comes in early, I'll be happy. At this point in the build, it's the most important part, but it's still just a fancy club, or long tent stake, until I can get the rest of the stuff moving. The LaRue lower receiver still hasn't shipped yet, but I knew that going into it. You order one, you might get lucky right when then just finished a fresh batch, and filled backorders - or, you might be ordering into one of those backorder lists... It'll get here, when it gets here. I'm thinking Athlon Ares BTR 2.5~15 scope on this one. We'll see.

I see... you need worked on some more, I can tell...
