Haha, we've all gone over budget on builds, it's part of the game. So worth it though. Looks very nice! Congrats on the build.

Neat barrel. Two questions; how much does the rifle weigh and how does it shoot?

Well I still need to get a scale that reads that light of weight accurately but my regular digital house scale said less that 5 lbs but like I mentioned it's not made for that low of weight. And I have actually only been able to fire a quick 5 rounds through it on my way home from work while my old lady was calling me telling me to get home to help her out with our 8 month old... but it didn't blow up in my face and cycled so that's good. Really light recoil, kinda surprised me for that light of a gun. When I actually get a day at the range I'm sure I'll have to mess with the gas block. Seemed like the holes weren't 100% lined up when it was bottomed out on the barrel.

Awesome gun. I have yet to have a build come in even remotely close to what I budget for so now I pretty much just don't even set one. The color of that rifle is just sick. I just picked up another lower receiver last weekend to do another build before the election just in case and now I'm going to be looking for someone to cerekote it that exact color.

Thank you! Yea that tungsten looked even better than I had imagined. Was planning on an fde build but kinda started getting burnt out of it and burnt bronze is beautiful but I figured tungsten would be more universal

Take some pics outside with natural light. Looks good though even in those photos.

Doing a tungsten build myself and like you, have gone wayyyy over budget. Great looking rifle you have there.
