Not cheap necessarily, but not a massive investment. You can always add lenses as you go for more specialized purposes. One nice thing is that the lenses are, for the most part, one-time purchases and carry over if/when you want to upgrade to a new DSLR body. While it's certainly possible to spend tons of money if you get into the really high-end professional gear, it's not necessary to get started. If anything, it's just going to offer capabilities/features you probably won't need or even be able to use starting out. You'll know when your knowledge/skill-level has outgrown the capability of your current equipment and how far you want to go with it at that point. I wouldn't worry about the more expensive gear until then. |

Last piece of the cqbr came in today and installed. USGI surplus teardrop forward assist.
Official done buying parts for this build.... until I feel bad for it being too far from "clone-correct" and change everything back. Attached File |

It's impossible for it to both not touch the rail unlocked and not have a gap locked at the same time. There's going to be a gap while locked. |

I would definitely check concentricity, either visually if you feel comfortable doing it that way or with a bore check rod. From a convenience standpoint, I'd prefer to have a bit more room. It can be handy to be able to slip a flathead between the collar and rail to pop it off when it gets carbon sticky. |

Looks good...closer the better. I never use that beveled spacer....I like a tight fit.
