Se had completed the lower a couple of weeks ago, so no 'before' pic of the lower parts. It's a Surplus Ammo & Arms lower with a PSA LPK and Magpul furniture. The upper was ordered in pieces from BCM and Rainier Arms. It's a DD mid-length LW CHF 16" w/pinned-on lo-pro gb, BCM BCG and Gunfighter CH (Mod 3, for better access under the scope.) The upper and rail are from Rainier Arms, with the rail being the 15" Evolution.
It has a Troy Claymore on it for now, she wanted to try a brake and I had it in my box o' parts. At some point it will be getting a bipod for her to use for a little more distance shooting. I bought a set of BUIS for it, but she is going to go without them, for now. I originally bought the 1-4X SWFA for one of my carbines, but I've decided to stick with RDS (Aimpoint PRO on the way for me) on mine. She loves this scope, so that worked out for the best.
She also wanted to try the AFG, after shooting someone else's rifle with one, so the jury is still out on that one. She didn't like the vertical grip, after trying a few located at different points on the rails.
I assisted her with some of the nuances, like lining up the bbl nut for the gas tube and the final timing of the brake, but she did the bulk of the build. It really helps someone to see how the whole rifle works when you put all of the pieces together yourself. Being a trad. reservist and formerly active duty (USAF for both,) she has to handle weapons from time to time for qualifying, so she's familiar with the basic operation. This is the first time she's ever had one down this far to 'nuts and bolts,' so she has whole new perspective on it now.
