Rest of it is the usual stuff. I like the atlas bipod better than the Harris so it’s on there for my usual shooting duties. SSA trigger though.

Since a friend had to get rid of his Mod 0 Upper...
... I obviously took it 
So, here's the Family pic: 
Still obv. missing the A1 Lower, Mod 0 needs an ARMS #40 Rear Sight, and i'm absolutely not sure about the optics... i kinda want to slap the Leupold on the Mod 0 (with med rings then obv.), but what do i take for the Mod 1? i'd like something more modern, more magnification.. |

I hate when I call the BATF and one investigator will say it is in research since...and is expected to be completed by... Then you call for another can and you get some $%#! that only says it pending but not that it is even being researched or what. Just that as soon as they receive it, it is now pending. I am averaging about 5 1/2 months on my transfers.
I would say something about hoping for the Hearing Act or Share Act, but them some liberal will pay some loser to go shoot people so it doesn't get passed. Not a sermon...Just a thought. |

Just have to swap an LMT stock on this bad boy and a teardrop FA which just came in then honestly I can mark this build COMPLETE after a little over a year. Will post some better picture's later.

 Attached FileIs there a problem with having this much of the muzzle inside of the brake? I have a WOA SPR barrel and if I used the supplied crush washer or extra shims I was getting around 12-13 complete rotations before the van was seated against the collar. I am now getting 8-9 rotations which I thought was more appropriate. |

Of course it didn't... Most people start with the rifle first, but by the time it's built, it takes that much longer to get funds together for a can, and then they begin the epic wait. The Mk 12 is still fun to shoot without a can, but the brake can be rough, especially if shooting under an overhang, and your neighbors on either side won't appreciate it. Shooting it suppressed though makes it a 10/10. That can just sounds so great. |

And a Holland. Again, the muzzle should be shooting to be roughly flush with the chamber of the brake. 
Can be seen the same way on this Mod 1:
