I started this build back in 2021. Due to some personal issues and delays by some of the folks involved it took nearly 1.5 years to complete. I had the lower for nearly 4 years it was purchased at an auction site for $35. I finally got a job that was paying me good money so when I felt I was funded I started the build with the help of a local gunsmith. The only thing I did not like after it was done was the trigger. I found a Wilson Combat 2 stage for a pretty good price and installed that. Coating was done at Commercial Hydrographics in Texas. These guys did an outstanding job with it. Wondering what you all think.

That really turned out nice. Looks well thought out, that's the beauty of going a little slower. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

I have had it to the range only a few times. With the old trigger at 50 yards I had groups well within 1/2". The wilson trigger felt so much better than the old one,, CMMG kit trigger, but that was in dry fire only. I have not had time to get to the range with it since dropping it in. Sorry for not having a bunch of specs on it. I started with the lower which was in the white, the upper was an aerotech in the white as well. The lower parts kit was a CMMG. The barrel is free floated and don't know what kind of free float tube or barrel was used. I do know they weren't cheap :-)  The BCG was a nitride coated assembly. I went with a gunsmith because I lacked the tools to properly assemble it. The Smith also interjected some thoughts on its construction that enhanced the outcome. I couldn't be happier with the results.
