98Z5V Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Killer deals on parts. That's what gets us - well, it gets me, that's for sure. This is what is driving a pretty sweet build, and I'll update as more parts come in. This one will take longer than the previous builds, because I know for sure I have to wait on parts to be made - not just "not available at a retailer." This one will end up being my favorite gun, I already know... ;DHere's the beginning: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ha! No doubt, now the real spending begins... <lmao> <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I know, man. Some of the stuff I want won't even be available for about 8 weeks, but I have to pay now. That's the killer part. I'll probably have everything else sitting here, waiting on one or two key parts, so once they come in it will be a shootin'! I had a foliage AFG for it, but the Little Woman took charge of that thing right away, and it's on her midlength now. >:( Mo' money... :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 This makes me sick... (not really, congratulations!) You building more guns while I have to be content to try to get mine broke in before I spend any more cash. I can already tell that my competitive side is going to drive me bankrupt hanging around this place.... <lmao> <laughs> <dontknow> Well, anyways, keep us posted, you're off to an excellent start!

DNP Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hey someone send 98Z5V a .338 lapua cartridge so we can see what he does with it. <lmao> <munch> <lmao> <lmao> <lmao>I almost cried....that's the funniest thing I've read in a while. The worst part is...it's likely it would grow a gun around it in about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 ^^^ DNP knows my pain. He's known me long enough. :oI was talking about building a .458 awhile ago, on another board, and I'd already built a few others. I had second thoughts. He already had a few ARs, and found a JD matched .308 set. He let that out, but I had changed my mind on the .458 already (in my mind) and decided on a .308 instead. Eh, I told him about it, and I wanted the IRA set. Well, I had a local gun show I hit, and I told him I found a DPMS stripped lower for a hell of a decent deal - he tells me, "Don't do it - you don't want that. Call me before you go back there and buy it!" I say okay, I'll call. I won't do it. THAT NIGHT I hit up the IRA website - and those bastages jacked prices up about $150 per matched set. Hell with that, I'm going back to that show and getting the DPMS, and I'm NOT calling DNP beforehand... ;DYeah, that didn't even go a full month, and I was posting targets. It's just a damn sickness... not my fault... <lmao> <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I just blame all my gun buying on 'the voices'... It pretty well keeps me from having to converse with anyone except gun lovers about how I justify the cost of all this stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Well, my barrel will be here on Friday, the stripped upper and lower will be to the FFL in about 4 weeks (not a typo), and the rail will be ready for shipping in about 6 weeks... This build is just FLYING!!! ::)I'll probably order the optic tomorrow, and just gather up small bits and pieces for now. And wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Well, here's another mock-up pic. The barrel came in today. It's a Nordic Components barrel made for them by Wilson. 1/8 twist with a .223 Wylde chamber, 16" midlength gas. It came with a free midlength gas tube, was on sale for $185, and the shipping was free. What's not to like? <thumbsup> ;DThere'll be another mock-up update pic Monday afternoon...
