My first fun stick: A bone stock S&W M&P 15 Sport. 

 

 

It was my Christmas present to myself, and the wife and I have had some fun shooting it since then. In fact, we went through the initial purchase of ammo so fast that we ended up buying the overpriced range ammo to finish up our 1st shooting session. Not making that mistake again

Nice stick. Good luck with it!

Yeah you will. Everyone does that sometimes - you are just having too much fun. And you know what? It's worth it

Malarkey. Nothing is worth range ammo lol

Agreed. I read this right after I shelved a 40mm can of freshly produced 55gr FMJ ammo (about 2k rounds) I made over the weekend.

Very well done HK...

[lexcruiser 12]

Very Nice Lex...how you liking that Viper PST?..its a finalist for my SPR build

Liked it enough that this was my second one

Great deal on their demo units over at Cameraland NY. Literally indistinguishable from new + Vortex warranty = dunzo..!

[HKHockey 5]

Thanks!  I used quality components for everything and the only thing I slightly compromised on was the Spike's stripped lower.  Did not have the patience to wait for a Noveske Gen II to hit the market at the time.  In time a new lower with a bigger flared well and a Geissele SSA or SSA-E will be on its way.  The trigger will probably be ordered some time next month.  All in all I could not be happier with how this came out.  Thousands of rounds down the tube and not a hiccup yet using XM193/XM855.  Plus its still light!

I didn't know that a Spike's lower was skimping.

[blksheep 466]

Spikes is GTG. I have a different taste now for DD, BCM, Colt or Noveske but I wouldn't turn down a Spikes either. I went to the shop in FL and they were super nice people.

Did not mean that as an insult towards Spikes.  In many case a lower is a lower is a lower as long as it is in spec, etc.  It has not let me down and the fit and finish have been good.  Just meant that I could have waited/spent more and gotten the Noveske Gen II out the gate. 

[blksheep 466]

I got ya. It's all personal preference at this point. I make it a point to only pick up those now just cause they are "cooler". Lol

[Lecky 1]

Is the Noveske really worth 250-300 more than Anderson or spikes? What makes it so expensive?

I bought my lower at the height of panic unfortunately so it would not have been that much of a difference.  Still more expensive though.  I really do like the Gen2 lower's magwell though.

 

And Lecky, that is up to you to decide.  For me and many other shooters this is all just a hobby.  Do you want it? Go for it.

also a hobby for me too, I just wasn't sure if you were getting anything much more superior with the Noveske,

[blksheep 466]

Not really. Just the roll mark. QC might be a little better.

So what'd you guys do for work today?  I had a sample BCG come in that might be a new iteration of the PX BCG but first, it needed some gentle testing in my Fergudishu blaster

Nothing this fun! Diagnosed a faulty power vent on an oil fired boiler, gave the guy a price to replace it and he opted to stay cold lol. Then jackhammered a laundry room floor open to repair a broken copper water pipe below the slab. Not a fun day but it was a lucrative one. That Bosch Brute doesn't come out of the truck cheap. I would still trade places with you for a few hours anytime lol...

 At least I didn't take video of the live fire function check of the mk46.  I swapped top covers and needed to make sure it runs right.  Couldn't figure out a good way to mount my Contour though.

[High Exposure 5,661]

My work day yesterday looked a lot like yours today

[fatty 241]

Finally finished my lightweight, CQ HD build, big thanks to vladtepes, who helped answer more questions than I care to admit lol. And to Steve from Monmouth Arms, I just have to say, if I wasn't there to witness it I would never have been able to tell where he pinned the brake, impressive work. Just need to get some more rail panels and I think I want to change the location of the rear mount for the sling to a magpul asap. Maybe a possible cerakote job in the future.
