The build was pretty easy actually..I scratched the lower receiver just a tiny bit in some spots so i will need to get that touched up i guess. Other than that pretty straight forward assembly. now i dont know if the gun will shoot or not but from the cock/trigger pull test it works just fine. I need to find someone with a stock wrench so i can tighten my stock more. other than that i need to get some ammo and go shoo it.

Here is what the build cost me.

Stripped Lower-$120
Complete Upper - $550
Lower Parts Kit - $76
6 Position Adjustable Stock - $69
Front Grip/Bipod - $29
Front Grip Rail - $79
Hand Guards x2 - $5
Ergonomic Pistol Grip with Palm shelf - $30
Walther PS22 Red Dot -$79
Magazines x3 - $11

Grand Total = $ 1,075

Just rifle with no bling
Stripped Lower-$120
Complete Upper - $550
Lower Parts Kit - $76
6 Position Adjustable Stock - $69
Total - $848


I think with the way prices are nowadays I did pretty good.




Now i just have to get another lower for my second LPK :-)

Where did you find a Grizzly lower for $120?

Looks like a guild build price.  I put a couple scratches on my stripped lower putting it together.  I figure it's a shooter and not a safe queen so it's fine IMO if it gets scratched. I have a different gun I'll keep nice and pretty.

Looks nice, but I think you have the red dot backwards in the mount.

It's a SPOT scope corect?  Click on the hotlink and if you look at their pictures, you can see what I mean...

Good job!

Now turn your scope mount around.

lol  

Your AR doesn't use a scout rail way up front does it?

You can position your mount however makes you happy.  Generally - the *reason* for the cantilever design - is to get the mount as far forward as possible - not to turn it around and use it to get the optic farther back.

The farther forward the dot based optic - the fast and more natural point shooting is.  That is why they were designed as such.

Also it allows the dot optic to be placed far enough forward - to place a magnifier or night vision behind it.

Just because some goobers in Walther picture-marketing cannot figure it out... doesnt mean we need to copy them.
