    It started from a furniture kit I got on Reddit for $40, lol. Then I found an upper receiver at Tanner, mags from Reddit, and the remaining pieces bought from online retailers.

    All in all, it was under $800. Given that the Brownells full rifles are going for $850, I'd have sooner bought theirs.

    That is really cool Ridge. Brings back some memories.

    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    Took it and my AR pistol to the range a couple times this weekend. Going back and forth between the rifle and carbine length gas systems really shows the difference in felt recoil.

    Have you shot this enough to say whether the barrel is accurate? The ELD barrels I have bought are tack drivers.
