Boring list of parts in the build

Aero upper, NiB BCG, stainless 16" barrel, charging handle, and buffer tube assembly.

Tennessee Arms poly lower and muzzle brake

generic handguard I bought because it was cheap and bolted everything together until some far nicer ones I had input on arrive in the US.

Imported bipod and QD scope mount, there is a Simmons scope I'm indifferent to sitting in there right now just because I had it in the mount, I've got a pretty decent 2-7 imported scope I'll switch it out with before I dial it in w/ illuminated rangefinding reticle.

C Products Defense and Pmag .308 mags fit, drop free and feed well in this, although brass comes out slightly scratched up in the C Products mags.

Mike at Olympic Ceracoat did a great job with what I ordered to be a basic quick and dirty coating of the barrel, as I just wanted something on there, but wasn't sure what final form everything was going to take. I'm very pleased with the coating and when I finalize a few things I'll be having him do a higher grade job on the whole gun.

I-5 guns did the lower transfer and bolted the upper together quick and cheap.

Some quick cellphone pics (memory card in my camera died, new one arrives tomorrow. Pics taken w/ C Products Defense mag in it.)

This was entertaining. While the aesthetics of the molding are funky, the fun part was when I did a test assembly at I-5 and the rear takedown pin jammed, and then popped out. They used too long a spring in there, and Mike had to cut it down about 3 coils to actually work. Works fine now.

Very nice ceracoating. Pretty nice for what was ordered as a cheap basic coating.

I know at least one other member here has one that has held up rather well.

If you want to donate ammo to the testing you are welcome to do so :bigsmile:

No but I'd be glad to time help you do some field testing of it

Lemme know when you are in Oly. I'm sure Cyrus would be happy to see you too.
