Well I am new to the site and pretty much rifle shooting in general, so bear with me:D I grew up on shotguns and handguns and that was it! Anyway, my idea is to build a gun that I can pretty much just have fun with. Only ranges around here go to 100 yards, so I am basing my build around that. Money is not really a concern, so I have decided not to go as cheap as possible, I just want something that will last and be dependable. Here is what I purchased so far, any thoughts on the build, what to add, what to sell and rebuy?:D

Mega Gator lower reciever with RRA LPK, stage two trigger.
GripPod forward assist
Mapgul PRS
Vltor VIS-2
Noveske Medium contour Recon 16.1 barrel, chrome lined mid-length gas
Larue gas block
GTS SuperDuty BCG
PRI Tac Latch
PRI/MSTN Brake
Eotech 512

I haven't bought any BUIS yet, maybe down the road I will but its not really a top priority. I think that is it! My upper is all in parts so I'm trying to find someone local who has the tools and the time to show me how to put it together, from what I have read it seems pretty easy though.

Thanks all for your time and thoughts!

If one of the mods would please move this to the Custom build forum I would appriciate it, I guess I had too many windows open when I clicked create new thread. Doh.:o

Very nice set up you have there. I like it a lot!

Have you shot it yet?

Nice, how do you like the Vltor upper?

I'm a fellow Mega Machine kool-aid drinker.

Haven't shot it yet, hopefully this weekend or next week. The VIS upper was a piece of cake to put together. Complete pics!

Very nice rifle. I used a PRS stock for a very short amount of time on my 3gun rifle, that's one heavy stock!
