New guy. Intro and plan for my first rifle.

To the OP, if you haven’t tracked down a barrel nut wrench yet PM me your address, I’ll get one headed your way.

Thanks man, but I just got the wrench in the mail from lee7588! Appreciate it though!

Got the old bbl off. Was a bit stuck. But get it off not too much hassle

That's cool! I was hoping to use chassis for detachable box mag usage though. Will think about it!

Welcome from Rhode Island. Good luck with your new build. Have to warn you though, this building stuff is a very dangerous and expensive slippery slope!!! Just letting you know. And after the first build it’s all downhill from there.

Tested removing some material from back of mag port. Will hold off till I have chassis and mag to see how it all fits. But it was easy to Dremel.

Also changed the firing pin spring to a wolf extra power one. Just In case old one was weak.

Found a 7mm prc item in the local store. First time I've seen one in the wild. (I added the bullet)

Got a used oryx the other day. Mocked it up. Barrel isn't installed, waiting to grins receiver to make room for the 7mm prc cartridge and magazine.

Getting closer.
