[QUOTE="pontoon, post: 1190438, member: 91473"] Alright! Finally done with the interviewing (got two tentative offers!) and got the rifle built! It's a couple ounces heavier than I thought (the new Magpul MOE K grip is an ounce heavier than the old one, apparently). It's just a hair under 5 lbs without a magazine, scope, or scope mount. I just finished it tonight, so I haven't had it out to the range yet. P.S. how bad of an idea is it to try firing it without checking headspace? I plan to cerakote it. Parts: - Liberty Barrels fluted 18" Grendel II with matching bolt (branded as "AR Stoner") - Liberty Barrels/Satern barrel thread protector - Cheapo carbon fiber handguard (ripoff of the AP Customs design) - Mil spec gas tube - Syrac Ordnance adjustable gas block. Very expensive, way too tight. They had instructions to pry it open using screws but I don't think it can work the way they instructed. I did scratch the barrel up while doing trial and error trying to get it on. - Mil Spec barrel nut (could spend more for titanium, but I didn't feel it's worth it) - Anderson Rifles forged upper and lower - Rubber City Armory low mass bolt carrier group (replaced the bolt with a 6.5 Grendel II bolt, obviously) - Mil spec lower parts kit - Velocity 3 lbs drop in single stage trigger - Magpul MOE K Pistol grip - Magpul MOE trigger guard - Mil spec buffer spring - Mil spec carbine buffer with metal weights removed replaced by pine dowel pieces. I couldn't get a perfect fit dowel so I had to do some woodworking on it to get it perfect. Kind of a pain in the ***. Hopefully the adjustable gas block can make up for the ultra-light buffer. Don't try doing what I did just because I did it--I'm an idiot. - Smoke composites carbon fiber short pull closed stock w/ included castle nut and receiver end plate - Mil spec charging handle - California compliant bullet button - 10 round E Lander magazine (heavier than Alexander Arms advertised by an ounce or so) - Aero Precision Extended scope mount - Leupold VX6 FireDot duplex [/QUOTE]
