the sum is in working order gents, but not finished... i have to testfire again but im sure it will fire once! 

I need some specific parts for a satisfication build but most are easy to figure out... for others? 

First frustration is the paint.. so much paint makes a big tolerance fitment issue! Ive been sanding for hours! Second is the paint i need to get a grip to match... i choose not to have it painted due to weare and tare and havent had time to look for the one.

Fire control pins seem loose.. maybe need some anti walk pins? 

The fing barrel is to damn big for quick release sling mount! Haha barrel is to big! 

Last thing needed is some @toolndie7 work for the bolt assist but it will work untill all that mess is figured out.. oh and range time?

Finnially got rnds down range.. I'm not sure how I lightened the sum with 4 layers of paint and optics but man this is a hard hitting Bfg! I really like the clean 1/2" holes in paper that makes it unique.. I'm going to try a lesser load instead of 405 gn I have some 335's ( can't remember brain is jarred silly) in the mail .. here's the latest target . 7 rnds #1 was off the board and so on. @ 5 yds.. I might adjust to the right when I recover..

Picks not working again..

im needing a break! tromix has a 65$ matching break which is a good to go but if you guys have anyother option i should try that wont rip my muffs off my ears id be willing to give it a go.. 5/8×24 i belive rh tpi.

ive decided (ish) on the bowers vers supressor for the long run but its just the long run thus far.. i will decide once i can can! the liberty mystic x is a close second but barrel lengh might void their warrenty.. to many options and restrictions.. 

back to the ? any 50 cal breakes i should look for recommended.. thanks fellas!
