Let me be the first to say, damn you do really nice work! From the parts selection to the color/finish that's a very nice rifle.

You had that titanium BC custom made? At first I thought Boomfab, but I see it has FA cuts in it.
You added those cuts? |

Good Grief that is a sexy build. You always do goo work, but those parts are sweet.

I will report back soon. I plan to start putting it through the paces this weekend. Only problem is I have 3 new builds to test. I need another set of hands. Lol |

Nice looking build.
I prefer the longer rail, but I wonder how much weight you'd save by going with a shorter rail. May not work out exceptionally well with a longer gas system. I don't know enough about light weight builds and gas requirements. I'd assume that longer gas systems would be more reliable and less finicky with buffers and the light bolt carrier. How to you go about matching a buffer to a light weight carrier group? Just thinking out loud here, not critiquing the build. |

How to you go about matching a buffer to a light weight carrier group? Just thinking out loud here, not critiquing the build. The rail is really light coupled with a titanium barrel nut I highly doubt a shorter rail would give a difference in weight. As for the buffer, it can be done a few ways. I own a lot of different buffers, so I start with a heavy and start testing going lighter until I reach the proper weight to get consistent cycling. There have been times in the past when a carbine buffer was too heavy and I had to remove some weight from it even(dissemble buffer and remove one of the weights). |

I'm early in a build and have been kicking around the idea of burnt bronze. This might have sealed it for me because yours looks great.
I don't quite think I'm ready to do my own Cerakote yet maybe for the next build. |
