You did okay pricewise.
I hope you kept something in reserve to feed your new baby with.
Have a good time, and safe shooting!

I was in Dicks today and they wanted 23 dollars for 50 rds of remington. I'm just going to get the WX2-52591 Wolf® .223 55 Gr. FMJ 1,000 rds. for $219.97 and will pick a few boxes of something else cheap till it arrives.

With Wolf steel-cased at 22 cents a pop, I don't think you're going to find "something else cheap till it arrives"

Buy as many cases of Wolf at that price as your checkbook (and storage area) will allow.
It isn't getting any cheaper (just like gasoline these days)

Very nice setup. Send me an IM when you get it together and I'll take you over to CJRPC to try her out.

Not to rain on your parade, but, you will have to headspace it won't you? Otherwise, welcome to the club.

No head spacing needed with such few rounds down the tube. Also, he is using a new bolt. The stock looks kinda short. Is it pinned yet?

My pinned stock is pinned ALL THE WAY out. That one will get you into trouble right quick....

LOL actually that's not my exact lower just an example. They didn't have a picture of mine with the fixed stock so I used that one :)

I have one that looks EXACTLY like that. And I mean exactly. Stag lower, fixed M4 Buttstock and all.

I had a scope just like that and it was total junk. Had to take it off. Eye relief was horrible and the crosshairs were always canted to the side a bit. There was no way to adjust for the tilt of the scope.

I can shoot just fine without it anyway. About 4" groups @ 100 yards with the Iron Sights.

I've always wondered about this. Wouldn't it be OK if you maintained a minimum of 26"?

I have a short A2 style stock(mid entry) which is 1 inch shorter than a collapsible stock pushed all the way in. With a 16 inch legal barrel, the rifle's overall length is about 34 -36 inches. no where near the 26" inch rule.

I am looking to get this stock for my AR build.

ACE Shorty

will it be NJ "legal"?

The guy told me it is the same length as an M4 collapsible pushed all the way in?

All you have to do is call and tell Betty (lady who answers the phone) which one you want. You are right it's not in the drop down menuon the site, so I ordered it over the phone.
