Armed Eye Doc Posted June 2, 2025 Report Posted June 2, 2025 I have had most of these parts for almost 4 years. I bought some raw aluminum Diamondback lowers for about $70. I then bought all of the other parts over the next 6 months. Everything sat in my safe for about 3 years. Then, it took me until last fall to get the lower cerakoted. I finally put everything together just before Memorial Day. Here is a short video of my nephew shooting it at about 270 yards. As stated, it is a Diamondback upper, lower and handguard. I've got a 20" Shilen barrel that I bought at their swap. They said they drilled the gas port too big and marked it at $350. I have an AGB to compensate. I put a Magpul PRS stock in back to balance out the extra weight in front. It is rifle length with standard rifle buffer and Armalite spring. I got a Geissele SD-E 2 stage trigger at a close out sale that I put in there. I like the Ballistic Engineering trigger that I got from @JBMatt better though. I may change it out later. I put an Arken 4-16x50 scope on it. I like it so far. I got it sighted in and adjusted the gas block, then destroyed a few rocks at 125 yards. Then I let others shoot it.

Rsquared Posted June 2, 2025 Report Posted June 2, 2025 That thing looks pretty nice Doc. Patience can be tough in this hobby sometimes.
JBMatt Posted June 2, 2025 Report Posted June 2, 2025 Make sure you bring it in the Fall and lets see what she can do!
