Sweet lookin' shooter you have there. And look at the hole it bored through that tree!!!

I do enjoy my 6.8, I hope you enjoy yours as well.

That is very, very nice!! Great job putting it together !!

Very nice.

Looks really nice... good job!

What's the advantage of building your own? Is it cheaper? or more customized to your needs? or just for fun? I don't know much about AR's but considering getting one (while I can).

Very nice build MedicMan218. I like it. I've been considering putting together a 6.8 upper of my own. Problem is....I'm also considering about six other things I want too. I got it bad.

For me it wasn't cheaper, then again I don't know...maybe. I've got about 1400.00 in this gun and I'm not sure what it would cost in the retail world if you were to buy it at a store. I did pay retail for everything though. Even some of the cheapest prices online were not quite as cheap as I would have liked.
Like the upper....I had to pay 190.00 for the VLTOR MUR because I couldn't find anything else I liked in stock. Frustrating....

For me it was more about picking and choosing EXACTLY what I wanted to go into my build.

As for everyone else...thanks guys. It's been a long time sitting in my safe, in pieces, waiting on my lower to come in for the past 4 months to get things started.
