Over two years to build and maybe more to collect some of the parts. The color is darker but my phone camera made it light. John |

Nice! Is it an original receiver, or did you modify an existing one?

Like everyone else, appreciate the work and attention to detail you put in. It looks great.
BTW, what is the plan for a sling? Is there a specific one to this model or just a cotton or seatbelt sling? And yes, more info and pics would be great. What is the view of the fsb through that scope? I am assuming its a true leatherwood. |

Amazing build! I’d never even heard of that one until I saw yours.
Any idea of a good place to find the history of that AR? |

John,
Thank-you for putting up with me bugging you about these uppers for the last 2 years. You really did knock it out of the park on this project and the 2 custom weaver rail mounts.
