ar06450 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Good luck on this build. I also picked up the same kit a couple days ago and are looking to start sourcing parts and this has been most helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 That was pretty fast for a Lilja barrel! - damn that's a good looking barrel, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaRKle! Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just got the barrel in tonight...beautiful!!! Sending everything out tomorrow to Ayan so he can put the upper together. SWEET! I'm totally going to be watching Ayan's FB page for pics of your build. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjajimmy Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm just waiting for Ayan to put the upper together and then the last thing to handle is the optic. I grabbed a set of KAC 45 degree offset sights from Ayan as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjajimmy Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah this doesn't look right. Edited August 13, 2014 by ninjajimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah this doesn't look right. [sarcasm]Looks like they mixed up the brand stamp at the factory. Don't you know? Leupold, Trijicon, and all those other fancy-pants brands are all made at the same factory as NC Star. NC Star scopes are the same, just without the branding and are just as good as those other brands. Psh, don't waste your money on that overpriced stuff![/sarcasm]From my experiences, US Optics stuff could've been made by NC Star (and they are the same quality!)... Edited August 13, 2014 by FaRKle!

ninjajimmy Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Got my Recon mount in. I also decided today that since it's almost finished I should just order the rest of the parts I wanted. Atlas BT10 bipod w/ LaRue LT271 QD mountBFG Vickers Padded QD SlingKAC Receiver Ambidextrous Sling MountMagpul ACS stockGeissele SSA-E Trigger Now it's a waiting game for the upper and rest of the parts to arrive.

ninjajimmy Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Got my SSA-E trigger in tonight and my BFG Sling. First up the trigger. It is beautiful. Night and day difference between a stock trigger. Can't wait to actually shoot it.My sling came in as well and I installed and staked the KAC QD receiver plate too. Upper should be here Thursday and then it's just a matter of installing everything and hitting the range hopefully this weekend.Also got my ACS stock in and put it on. I like it much better than the Sopmod on the 308.I also ordered my steel plate setup and cut and drilled the legs and crossbar. There will be a 10" Gong and a 7"x11.5" target hung together. Both are 1/2" AR500 steel. First time shooting steel with a rifle. I figured once the rifle is zeroed it'd be better than having to keep walking to replace targets.

FaRKle! Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Torqued the castle nut to 40 ft-lbs before staking? Gotta make sure this build is done PERFECTLY! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjajimmy Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 It's torqued good and tight. It won't budge. :)The end of the week can't get here fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Any chance to get a Gas port size on that barrel ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjajimmy Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well it's been two months, but it's finally, almost complete. Only thing missing is the KAC 45 degree offset sights that are on their way to me. It came out beautifully. Hopefully it shoots as good as it looks.
