Very nice. Clean build, man. You familiar with the gs light mount? If not… I’ll be the first to tell you it’s a righteous piece of kit.

'Preciate it! I’ve been running the GS light mount for about a year now and I agree!

4

What a beautiful carbine! Nice job… How do you like that sling set up? I’ve never thought of running the rear point on the stock with the forward point on the end plate.

5

Thanks man, I really like the sling there. The rifle hangs vertically like a single point bt maintains the control of a 2 pt.

6

Nice build, now just add a tactical bottle opener on the rail for the black and tan.

good specs and nice rifle.

7

Nice rifle. You can get Yuengling in GA?! I thought that was a PA thing.

8

that’s gay j/k looks good, I want to feel your grip (for real) lol. When are we going to go shoot it has been forever just because I work the midnight shift doesn’t mean we cant be friends. I am jealous of that set up for a 16inch gun.

nice photo essay. Is the DD rail supposed to be torqued to 50 foot pounds?

10

That’s what it says in the instructions.

Beautiful rifle with top notch components. Assembled by yourself in your own shop. You must be proud!
