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.
Compass Lake Engineering 22LR kit:
Douglas barrel, Recon profile (17" with chamber), 1-16tw
M-261 conversion bolt w/ magazine adapters
Colt A3 upper
Badger Ordnance MK12 gas block w/ random used gas tube
Allen Engineering brake w/ long collar
PRI Gen III rifle length tube
PRI Gas Buster charging handle
PRI Recce rail
Nightforce ultra light mounts
Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40
Harris HBRMS w/ KMW Pod Lock, mounted on ARMS #32 mount
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.
