so post up some pics of your FDE builds...

Just a suggestion...

If your build includes anything refinished in FDE, please share what you used (e.g. Norrells Tan, DuraCoat FDE, Krylon Brown, etc).

Share the knowledge/experience!

I love this rifle, however I'm having a hard time judging it's size. Is it a SBR?

Noveske flash hider I think. AFAIK, they are used to build back pressure to allow SBR's to cycle more reliably.
