Finished my first build, how did I do for $800
I just finished building my first build. My goal with this carbine was to build a high quality yet lightweight carbine. In addition, I wanted to keep the price down. I was patient with ordering parts and I put this together over a six month period. Will have pictures up soon. Please let me know your feedback.
