    I have TONS of spare parts sitting around (from my personal builds). My spare parts though are VLTOR VIS, LT Rails, Noveske Barrels, etc.

    El-Cheapo single point scope mount
    i find this very interesting.., how well does it work.., accuracy wise ? i thought of doing this for one of my rifles but thought there would be too much of the tube unsupported therefore accuracy would be a problem.

    Come on grant. Share the joy! Meaning that VLTOR VIS LOL.

    Honestly the thing I am most worried about is the scope mount. It is made for an Aimpoint and not a Scope. I am worried about Harmonics and vibration in the scope without the second point of support.

    It has not been shot yet but I plan to put a couple of test rounds through it this week at some point.

    I'm guessing your ghetto builds put most factory rifles to shame given the gear I've seen in your pics... LOL

    I'm doing something similar. I have this A2 flash hider that I built a rifle in back of.

    I had to buy everything though.

    Heh. I suppose I could, and I bet it'd go bang. But I think not:



    1. Colt
    2. Cav Arms
    3. LMT
    4. Les Baer
    5. BCM
    6. UTG
    7. Somebody's tac latch CH - Badger?

    What I have found, though, is that the parts can accumulate and a barrel seems to be the catalyst that makes a new one come together.
