Sweet! I've wanted to build one for a while now but I've had trouble finding the correct parts

I would guess that the lower is an 80% lower that he finished and had engraved.

Yes it is made from a 80% lower . I reprofiled it to A1 spec and engraved it .

Very nice job. Usually, that little bit of "reinforcement" on the receiver extension area is a dead giveaway. Yours is perfectly rounded like the real thing. Did you engrave it yourself too?
braceman

Yes i did the A1 reprofile and the engraving.

Did you or someone anodize the receivers, or is that a spray coating? It looks fantastic!

Very nice,

That lower is so cool. I really want to find a better lower for my 654 build.

Where did you source the stock body?

I had the upper and lower anodized xm gray.
I got the stock from a buddy. Try Tonys custom uppers for aluminum stocks
