I like it! Actually had one close to this configuration awhile back and was among my favorite too shoot. But life got in the way, needed cash to buy my now wife's wedding ring cause I didn't want to finance it and the look on the salesladys face was priceless when I told her I was paying cash, finished my beer real quick (was at Diamonds direct and they give you free beer if you are looking to buy), and pulled out $2k. Sold it, got $100 more than what I had into the build, but I still kick myself for getting rid of it instead if something else.
This makes me want to go rebuild that rifle, after I get done with my 2 ongoing builds. |

A sling is all you need. I just built my dad an AR using spare parts and PSA Easter weekend sales.

What is the intended purpose? I would say a sling and possibly a flashlight (it is dark every day part of each day of the year) but that is it.

Stake your castle nut, and sling if you want one. If this is a fighting rifle, I would upgrade to a 7075 buffer tube. PSA had them for $19. Paint job is awesome.

Personally, I wouldn't use a cheap tube, the couple bucks you saved just aren't worth it to me. I would throw on a light, and possibly a sling and call it good.
If you plan on this just being a bench / range gun, it really doesn't matter, just use it the way it is and be happy with a fun build. Overall, I like it.

Thanks guys, means a lot coming from some of you.
The main purpose will just be range and plinking. Won't be putting a light on this one (have others that serve that role). It will be getting a 3 point sling though. I just forgot the side swivel when I assembled the barrel. And a good stake on the nut when the DD receiver extension gets here from Primary Arms. (UTG was a take off for a reason) gonna have to dispose of it this time before it grows another receiver....

Looks good. Add sling. Be done.

I am currently going through the same problem with extra parts turning into more guns 
I had 3 complete FCGs, a bunch of pistol grips, 3 buffer tube assemblies with stocks, several stripped uppers with CHs, and what did I start seeing? Deals on barrels. Deals on BCGs. I know the problem of an extra part growing into another gun. God bless my wife for allowing me to invest wisely now. |
