Quoted: Excellent post, Denny. It's refreshing to see not just a list of components, but also a rationale for their selection. Kudos.

Denny mine is almost identical to yours, to the" T"( yes all, i have KNS Pins...flame on...lol)...probably cause you built it and i took your recomondations.  Nice to see you using what you recomended.
 I was not a fan of the Troy sight at all and am thinking of going to a non FF,  plastic forend.  Its a bit heavy compared to my carbine. I'm 5'2" and 125lbs.   Every bit counts.  What do you think of cutting it down to 14.5.  Will i lose much accuracy?  more than a 1/2 MOA?  i love it though and shot it today.

I still want to hear a final consensus of owners of the first 50 on thier prefered ammo considering price( don't want to pay match ammo prices for a combat rifle with reliablity/accuracy number one.  Mine shot better with 55grn than 62grn.  XM193(not PD) and M855(not PD) though i have not achieve the accuracy that i can with a quite old 20" barrell setup.  Great Barrell and happy customers

eta: do you loctite other peoples builds if not specified?

Well, now you've done it Denny....

I'm driving through KC on Friday, on my way skiing.  Now I'll HAVE to stop in.  If nothing else, it will be a pleasure to meet you.  I'm finalizing some specs for a build.  We can chat about it then.

Regards

NICE
