Very nice build, keep us posted.
What scope is that you have mounted?

A rubber coated Norinco 3-9x40 I had laying around. Should do fine for break in and seeing how well it can group. I wasn’t thinking of building a new upper and between the handguard, barrel, gas block, and muzzle device I spent close to $500 that I wasn’t expecting to spend. I will need to wait a while to get a better optic but that one will do for now.

^^^ When the time comes what scope will ultimately be on this build, any idea yet?

No clue. I was trying to get something that would get the most out of 5.56, so the 20” Designated Marksman Rifle barrel is where I went. Free float it so there is nothing to throw off harmonics. Locally I have access to a 200 yard range but think there is another place I can get up to 500 yards. I am thinking the longest range for 5.56 might be 600-1000 yards? A 1000 yard shot would be awesome.

I really didn’t have a plan, just an impulse, and I jumped. So don’t give me the credit of having planned that far in advance! I have never been knowledgeable as far as optics so I will be learning as I research. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
