Read stickies. Then check back with your complete rifle and tell us all about it.

Noted. Rifle is finished now. I really like the way it turned out. I am debating on painting the rifle but Im going to wait a little bit before I make a decision, amazingly, through support of my friends and a lot of online research the total bill for my rifle came in just under $700. Some parts are new, some used. I really like how the rail mated up also. Enjoy and tell me what you think! Hopefully this weekend I can get out to the range.

Geez... Have you guaged that barrel at all? Looks like it's seen a few days of grunt abuse.

No I have not gauged it yet. The bolt and barrel are from the same working rifle, I just replaced the firing pin. Im pretty confident everything is fine though.

Expect to replace that charging handle in short order. Optic?

I have not chosen a optic yet, still shopping around and debating how powerful of a scope I really want/need. Any suggestions would be helpful of course, I need a mil dot reticle. Being on a budget kind of limits my options.

Here's a much better picture.
