    Latest Build

    Finished a build I was working on a few weeks ago, using up some spare parts I had laying around.
    Used a Boyds/Dupage stock which did require some work to get fitted. Probably spent several hours fitting not including and finishing work
    Installed a nice used VAR barrel (MW .5 TW 1.5 ), used a 65 series bolt,did trigger mod so pull is a nice, crisp 5lbs.
    Also modified a NOS gas cylinder so the ring doesnt touch the barrel and beveled the lug so there is not handguard contact.
    First trip to the range rifle grouped decent but wasnt as good as I had hoped. Brought it home and found there was still some Op Rod contact to the stock and also needed to remove alittle more wood under the receiver as contact wasnt even
    She shoots pretty good now,

    Flyer was my fault
