I'm slowly getting into clone builds, but try to be a little different. Not having a 22LR trainer in my collection, I decided to put something together. I'm sharing my LMT lower at the moment until I complete my A1 lower. I also have some extra parts on their way and eventually more paint.

I didn't have the patience to take pictures of parts as I went. It's like Christmas morning every time I get a part in the mail. I'll rip open the package and start messing with things. Hell, when it came time to put it together, I was so excited, I forgot to tighten the vise and dropped the barrel and upper. I marred up the finish on the brake and barrel. It is stout and everything is fine. I didn't lose my shit (too much).
I brought it to a private range to test fire on Sunday. 25yd indoor range was cheating, but I needed to dial in the scope. When the winds decide to calm down, I'll bring it out to the public range to test out more ammo and push it further.
