Nice. I like the LMT Tactical rear sights. How did you keep your feet out of the first picture?

Thanks.  It's a 5.56mm and I haven't put any rounds down range.  I'm still waiting on my Go and No-Go gauges from Brownell's.

I planned to buy some Wolf for plinking and then some 5.56 NATO Lithuanian Military 62gr. SS109 Penetrator Ammo that I found on ammoman.com

Lol, stood on a chair!  I really like the sights too.  I wanted some irons that were similar to the M16A2 just because I was familiar with them.

I bought The AR-15 Complete Assembly Guide by Walk Kuleck and Clint McGee for $20 on Amazon.  I was worth it's weight in gold.
