The fit was real good.  No problems.  Well, OK, one launched spring, but it went straight up, hit the ceiling, and dropped RIGHT on the bench next to the lower!

Looks nice! Now that you've told us about it, and posted a pic, you know you're supposed to post a range report, right? [;)]

I just got my case of shells from Natchez (Winchester Q3131's) and will have a range report this week.

The red dot is mounted on two mini-risers from Bushmaster.

The next build job is going to be a Stinger lower, and either RRA or J&T upper.  God, this is addicting . . . .

looks good but what kindof wrap is that on the lower post of the stock?

Nice rifle.
I also just finished my first build. Bought a stripped Mega lower and a 20" E2 kit from M&A. Put the upper on my Bushmaster lower last week till the mega lower came today. It functions fine but would not chamber ammo from Maine Cartridge Company. I know that is a bad subject here. My Bushmaster had no trouble with it though. Don't matter only bought 50 rounds to try. It did feed Silver Bear like it was a well oiled machine as well as my own reloads. Today I got the Mega Lower It went together very easy. Would have went together faster if my computer was in the same room as I was building. I used the directions from here to build it.
Color match is great and fit is better than my Bushmaster has. The trigger is great proving to me that my Bushmaster trigger does indeed SUCK!
Let me know how your upper feeds when you get to shoot it.

NICE!  I'm gonna have to get me one of those ACE stocks.  They do look sweet.

That is a length of paracord-type material I had for hunting.  Just thought I'd wrap it on, for alittle color.
