Mine came with a free bonus eyelash across the reticle too, but I'm local to Leupold and they had it fixed for me in under 24 hours. |

From a pile of parts to putting holes in paper. I didn't shoot it nearly as much as I was hoping to over vacation. But I did zero it and managed to ring steel out to just short of 200. Also, AEM5 is the shit. Sounded fantastic.
Shot 10 rounds of Black Hills MK262 through it. 
And then a bunch more when I got back home. Found some Fiocchi 77SMK stuff at a store while out of town, so grabbed a couple boxes of that. Also, I've always had decent luck with American Eagle 50gr (what they call) Varmint Tipped. Shoots a little better sometimes than XM193 from what I've seen, so figured I would put some through here to see what happens too. Top group and bottom groups are 77SMK, middle is the 50gr stuff. 
Didn't get a picture of it to post, but I did manage around a 1.25" using Lake City XM193 as well. |

Anybody got a bead on an A1 receiver extension? I know it's the same aa the A2 minus the spacer, but I'd rather not have the extra part floating around.
Brownells is the only place I've seen em at, and they've been backordered since Noah and the great flood. |

Y'all take your asses over to GlobalRecon.net or get onto iTunes and subscribe to the Global Recon Podcast (GRP) and listen to the latest episode, #16. Myself and a former SOG recon One-Zero, Mike Stahl, fielded questions about SOG, and Nate from @ruckingraiders was on talking about the 770-mile ruck march he helped coordinate in honor of the seven Raiders from 2nd MSOB and the four aviators lost last year down in Florida. |

Is there a list of parts for this, and what's the average ballpark figure of what I'll be spending?
ETA: I should went straight to page one. 
Damn that's some expensive stuff

Off hand, you could go with a Compass Lake GB over a DD, Ballistic Advantage barrel over Douglas, and generic receivers instead of Colt to save some coin. If you have some patience the EE can produce some pretty amazing deals as well. Have the cash on hand and watch it like a hawk, and you'll have all the parts in no time. I built mine for ~$1600 for just the complete rifle, ~$3k with accessories, BUIS, and optic setup, and ~$3800 with suppressor.

My Ballistic Advantage SPR barrel only cost me $166, that saved a big chunk And I'm not using irons and I'm cheaping out on the glass by going Vortex.

I'm really having a hard time not wanting to do a build. I like spray painted rifles but there is something iconic about a black Mod 1. There's a side to me that wants to tear down the recce I just built, strip it, throw a FF RAS on there and make it a true black rifle. It wouldn't be a full on clone but heavily inspired. Seriously guys, coming from a non-clone guru, this is THE coolest thread on ARFCOM. Period.

The Army loves specific data.
I'm sure they have 3 volumes of books with 1600 pages each describing why there needs to be specific torque values a d their testing methods. I bet most of the people who assembled their own uppers used a torque wrench, but did not achieve the torque value on their wrench when it popped. In reality, if you screw the barrel nut hand tight, and then use the wrench to align to the first or second hole thay aligns, you'll be within torque spec. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dangerdan: The Army loves specific data.I'm sure they have 3 volumes of books with 1600 pages each describing why there needs to be specific torque values a d their testing methods. I bet most of the people who assembled their own uppers used a torque wrench, but did not achieve the torque value on their wrench when it popped. In reality, if you screw the barrel nut hand tight, and then use the wrench to align to the first or second hole thay aligns, you'll be within torque spec. Set the wrench to 80 ft lbs and line up a hole. |

I had to lap mine as they were a little out of whack out of the box. I think it'd be a good idea to check the alignment of the rings.
