The first question you’re going to get is what’s the intended purpose of this rifle?
Mainly HD, but I’d like to take it out to the range. Hopefully also to take to a class.
I also have a DDM4V5, so this won’t be my only one.
I wanted something a bit lighter but I also wanted something with a monolithic upper. And I wanted to try putting one together myself.
Well, at least the lower. Upper will have to be sent out to get the brake pinned.
Some background, I live in NJ so I’ll have to get a brake pinned to any barrel anyways, so why not go as short as I can go.
I guess I’ve been lurking on this site long enough to know that I should’ve put this up in the first post. 
That’s a solid parts list, you definitely done your homework. The mono should only add a couple more ounces than a mid-sized rail.
Thanks. I figured a couple of ounces wasn’t too bad a sacrifice for the mono.
A couple changes along the way.

I like the 2 tone treatment on the MIAD grip… well done!
I also think the MEGA was an excellent choice, and your version rocks!
Enjoy it.
Very good looking rifle. So how does it shoot?
I can’t take credit for the 2-tone MIAD. I saw a picture somewhere and I thought it was interesting.
Here in the People’s Republic of New Jersey, its hard to get out to a decent range. The only decent priced public outdoor range is over an hour and a half away.:mad:
I really need to get out of NJ.
Hopefully some time this month I can get out there and get this baby zero’ed. I’ve been stock piling some ammo for a trip.
Looks good, definately a quality parts list. How’s the weight on that rifle.
Theoretically it should be about 6lbs 14 ozs.
I’ll need to find a scale to do an actual weighing, because I’m really curious too. Hopefully I’ll do this soon.
did you pin the stock yourself?
I used the following method to “pin” the stock.
I can’t really speak to the legality of it.
It makes sense to me, since I can’t get the stock to move without a hammer and punch.
If I get thrown in jail, I’ll let you know. :blink:

Nice, never seen it done that way. It’s a blurry law at best anyway. Just don’t give anyone a reason to look that close. I have a rifle built just for NY. and NJ. so I feel your pain.
Anyway, Feed that new rifle often.
Really nice looking rifle there.
