You realize it has a built in suppressor, if I read it right. The link is to the can. I meant on the leonidas, but the ability to move can is a plus as well. |

Integrated suppressors are cool, I just plan on running a few different calibers on the same platform so that won't work so well for me.

Not so much, but I'll have the Tech letter sent to me to keep the bases covered. Plus, if the ATFTD changes their mind, I cut three zip ties and once again I'm all legal. The current ruling is that a stock is a stock, an improved cheek rest is not a stock. Also, a cane end to keep the pistol from falling over in a safe is not a stock. To be safe, I am ordering a buffer kit sans stock. Can't be constructive intent w/o a stock in my possession or immediate vicinity. Also, I will be dipping the end of the tube in tool rubber, so when I start my next build I won't have to worry about which order I get the parts in. Of course, if I get a good deal on a pistol buffer assembly, this all is moot. I'd still mount a CCA on it, I like the extended cheeck weld surface. |

I think the fact that almost everyone that has a pistol also has a rifle or five laying around to be way more worrisome than than a stock saddle or cane tip. |

Clothes? Not important, gotta get the newest doodad that will make my black rifle EPIC!
The most expensive part of this build will be the NFA Trust, engraving and stamp at the middle after I can shoot my pistol but before my wife can shoot our SBR. ;) |

What I was getting at though is that if you have any other rifle around it takes like 15 seconds to go from pistol to SBR.....I think we are all just taking our chances. Thats why I dont get to concerned about cane tips and cheek rest. |

I'm still considering that too. Yeah, that would be great. I wouldn't fight for/claim it, but if you're sure and Erik doesn't want it, I'll put it on mine.  IM me your info and I will send it your way It arrived today, and will show up in my pistol thread soon. Thank you very much.

Hey Erik,
This front sight post I have isn't going to work out for me. No gunsmith close by, and I'm not doing a two hour round trip driving to have it done. I'm going to get one of those clamp-on types we talked about in my thread. In the spirit of helping out like GunGuy just did for me, do you still want my sight? If so, just send me your info and I'll get it shipped. |

And I have my 'may I build it' letter written - with a 'found it on the internet' example pic - so I can have my very own "But the ATF said it was ok!" letter to ward off any potential Felony arrests. I went after the whole nine yards: AFG, cane tip, cheek riser, etc.
Turns my gut that I even have to consider doing something like this. I just hate poor cheek welds AND going to jail. |

And the build goes on.
Got a cheap 3" vice on sale today at HF ($21 after coupon) along with some cheap punches, got the FDE carbine length handguard on order via eBay and just got notification that my CMMG LPK and vice blocks were received into tonight's stock @ Cabela's. GoGOP's FSB should be here soon, too (Thanks again!) Next step is to get the upper, bcg, charging handle, carbine buffer assembly, barrel, Brownell's gas block jig, gas line and NcStar red dot. Don't have to actually pay for the LPK and blocks for a few months thanks to BIll Me Later - the only reasons I got the stuff @ Cabela's was this along with free Ship to Store. Once I get teh BML paid, I should be able to use it to get each of the major parts I need yet. Pics to be added tomorrow afternoon, still need to do some re-arranging at teh house to get my work table downstairs. That will be accomplished while my wife has fun @ the Pampered Chef party. |

Looking forward to the pics, and I was hoping the FSB was there by now.

I strongly suggest staying away from the ncstar red dot. I know over in the tech side there is a ton of gear whores that hate on anything that us not tier 1.....I am not one of those guys but anything ncstar that takes a battery sucks balls. I have had dealings with about a dozen of them that junked out. Either the dot would go off after a shot or it would move around or wouldn't even come on at all.
For a cheap red dot the tasco and Bushnell ones that Walmart have for <$50 have worked fine for me on many guns. They are nothing like an eotech or aimpoint but function is just fine. |

Just need a buffer tube assembly and this lower is done. The yellow bit is the baggie with the buffer detent and spring in it. CMMG color codes the sub assemblies.
Next, on to the upper. |
