Just built me a new spoon.
 

Del-Ton wasn't kidding when they said it was a 16 wk. delivery time for their rifle kit. Meanwhile, I got my Spike's lower and Ergo grip and waited. UPS man came tonight and I just got her all buttoned up. Of course, my Rock River two-stage trigger came with the hammer spring put on backwards. No biggie, but no fun when you've never done this before and the online instructions suck. If I didn't have another M4 laying around, I'd have never figured it out. Now I have to decide on optics. I'm thinking plain and simple iron.

Nice.

Tritium irons are hard to go wrong with> That's what i have on my carrying handle.

I like the fore-end too. That was the one i was considering beside the hogue unit i went with. Looks great man. :)

Mind telling us the final price? I looked at the spikes lowers. Just really didn't have the chingola to build one right now.

I'm trying to sell my son's Browning Hunter II in .243WSSM so we can build an AR15 together.

Spike's was having a sale for something like $89 when I bought it. I have just around $700 into this one.

What rounds are you using there Rick?

Those are Silver Bears.

I have many extra AR parts i'd gladly sell you for 1/2 of retail, all in used but excellent condition.

I have:

Handguards(carbine)
gastube(carbine, might need a little bending)
trigger group
ambidextrous mag release
right handed selector switch
factory A2 pistolgrip
factory A2 flash suppressor

All parts are bushmaster.

If you're interested, let me know.

A company called doubletap sells a civilian available equivalent to the US military SOCOM Mk262 Mod 1 77gr OTM rounds.
It's the hottest fragmenting round going in 5.56mm.

DoubleTap Ammunition

Have you looked at the c-more for your optics?

58120 - FN C-More Systems CRW Red Dot Sight, Mounts to M1913/Weaver Rails

I really like the one i have...other than an auto off feature (lack of)...no complaints.

I think I'm done with battery-powered optics.
