ChrisP Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 It's been a long time coming, but this thing is almost done! Waiting on grip, trigger and BCG, then it's off to the range. Can't forget the optics though.
ChrisP Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 Nice stick!! Don't forget ammo! Thanks, I've bought some at the time the whole idea was conceived, lol. I'm thinking the Vortex PST for glass, any thoughts out there?
BadBoyBilly Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Nice choice on the receiver. I went with the same one for my build.
EasyEJL Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 sharp! what stock is that, it doesn't ring a bell

ChrisP Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Posted November 7, 2014 It was a toss up between Black Rain, Mega, SI Defense... Rainier took it, I'm really pleased with it.

ChrisP Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Posted November 7, 2014 Thank you. It's XLR Industry. I wanted to stray from the PRS, it has a good amount of adjustability. I can hardly wait for the BCG to arrive, I need to send some rounds down range to break this thing in, I'm Jonesing!
BadBoyBilly Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) What's funny is a couple hours after I placed my order for the Rainier receiver, I noticed it went out of stock on their website. I think I was the guy who bought the last one! You snooze you lose!!! Edited November 7, 2014 by BadBoyBilly
ChrisP Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Posted November 7, 2014 That's too funny! Must have been a short run, my serial number is pretty low.
BadBoyBilly Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Ha. Funny you mention that, my serial # is under 100. I was like woah.
ChrisP Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) >Mine is as well, there's a whole bunch of zeros, lol. I pulled a total brainlock installing the lower kit. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the rear takedown pin was locked on position, who'd a thought that the spring needed to be shortened the length of the set screw?, obviously no me :) Edited November 7, 2014 by ChrisP
ChrisP Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks! Hopefully the BCG shows up soon so I can break it in. What's everyone's thoughts or opinions on Cerakote and dipping? I was going to do a hybrid part cerakote part dip, but I'm real concerned that the dipping will look plastic. I've seen some that look great though, durability is a concern as well. I'm certainly not going to drag it behind the truck on a gravel road, but I'm not sure how minor dings will affect it. From what I understand, the clear duracoat makes it very durable. Any input is greatly appreciated!
ChrisP Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Posted November 9, 2014 You can get a matte cerakote, gtg
edgecrusher Posted November 9, 2014 Report Posted November 9, 2014 I was thinking something along the same lines. For my sbr I had tossed around the idea of Mandrake Kryptek, still not sure
ChrisP Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Posted November 9, 2014 I'm thinking Mandrake on the receiver set and handguard, the rest will be a contrasting solid color that is in the Mandrake. But to cerakote kryptek is going to basically be coating it at least four times, I'm concerned that cerakote won't be as detailed as a dip. Decisions decisions, I feel like a chick picking out a purse to match her shoes, lol
