I have been a member here a fairly long time, I mostly just read and try to lean how to not be "that guy" any way. I figured this might be worth posting.
So I had been looking at the BRN 180 thinking it looks pretty cool. So the last time they had the uppers in stock I snagged one, then got on the list for a forged lower. I was able to get that about two weeks ago, then had a chance to put it together this weekend.
No crazy stuff on it but its the first time I have built out a stripped lower. I did find that the edge of the mag well was really sharp, so I fixed that.
I'm not having great luck with the Aluminum Black, so next time I send some parts out for black hard anodizing I'll piggy back these in these parts in the lot. You can see it is not really all that smooth on the switch and light mount.
BRN 180S 300 Blackout upper
BRN 180 forged lower
Brownells lower parts kit with there nickel trigger assembly.
BCM pistol grip (had to fit that to the lower)
SB Tactical TF1913 side folding brace
Griffin Armament M2 folding iron sights
Aimpoint Pro in a Scalarworks Leap/02 mount
Magpul M-Lok angled fore grip
Streamlight Pro tac light on a mount I made with a pressure switch mount I also made
I think thats all the parts.

I took a few more pics of the mag well mod but its been a long time since I have uploaded any pics figuring it out now.
Hope to get out and test it out soon.
Maybe yall will find this interesting, at the very least if you are thinking about getting one, you will know about the somewhat off putting sharp mag well edge.
