How do I acquire these "free used surplus" items?!?

You forgot the $2 for a can of black spray paint to fix that upper.

what do you mean, "fix?"

[Tim K]

By fix I mean, make it less ugly. Or are you planning to paint the lower?

Kidding aside, I'm interested to see how that barrel shoots. How sub MOA is it? What are you shooting? I have a few 77g SMKs over Varget you can try if you feel like it. They shoot 1/4 MOA in my White Oak barrel.

I agree, if I could get a free used upper, I could finally build the 300 blackout upper I want!

75 gr hornady over TAC shoots .577" @ 100m.

I'm not painting anything. I like my ugly boom stick!
