brocglock23 4 Posted December 22, 2013 very nice. what do you estimate the total cost was if you don't mind me asking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 22, 2013 less than 500 to include the paint.... -I shop the EE for good deals for instance, my spikes ch only cost $10 new -the barrel I got from aim for 99 to inlude the fsb, barrel nut...it's the mossberg and they ran out of stripped ones and they offered me that one. Its not high end but the reviews I did find seemed good and for 100, melonited 556 chamber in 1/7 twist is a steal no matter how you put it. -nib is from aim for 99 as well -upper and lower were blems and I knew I was painting them each cost less (lower was with others so overall cheaper with transfer) and the upper was 40 shipped but I had extra kit for it etc.. less than 500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 22, 2013 I'm putting it through it's paces tomorrow with 5-600 rounds with various firing parameters I use to test and break in new builds that I do when I make a rifle like this. I'll use various ammo too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 22, 2013 thanks...rear sight was something sitting around and will probably put a arms 71l rear sight on it so that will be another 40ish truth be told, the only non quality parts are the stock and barrel and if I can get a 1.5-2moa out of the barrel I'm happy on this one. I will change the stock so that will bump the cost too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladtepes 1,060 Posted December 22, 2013 What does that mean in english? equipment exchange.. both here.. and places like ar15.com... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 22, 2013 What does that mean in english? like vlad said, ar15.com moa is minute of angle. if you shoot 1"moa then you are hitting your shots within in a 1" hole at 100 yards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 890 Posted December 22, 2013 my next build is going to be an all black rifle with fortis brake, ch, and trigger in ss....should be a nice contrast. will use a 14.5 barrel with longer rail to cover all but the brake.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
