I'm about to go to dinner but had to post the pic, just picked it up from Gus at Dynamic Combat Solutions after getting it cerakoted. I'll fill in the details once I get back.

Hawt!  Someone's milling machine was busy for a while...

 

I have to ask:

 

Y U NO USE THIS GRIP!?:

 

[Maciej 60]

I was thinking about it but I genuinely thought it it'd be JUST too much.

[SmittyMHS 603]

You're not gonna shoot that are ya??? Too pretty...

No,...seriously, It looks like something I'd put in a show case or mount it on the wall for everyone to drool over.

[Maciej 60]

Hell yeah I am lol, spent too much not to beat on it

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Wow.... that's sexy.... 

[JohnnyB 4,326]

Very Nice!

[silverado427 10,731]

[JT Custom Guns 957]

Very Nice!

 

Who did the cerakote.....???

[Maciej 60]

Dynamic Combat Solutions, hands down best cerakote applicator on the east coast in my opinion.

The rifle looks awesome. What's hard to see in the picture is that between the flutes the barrel is polished--giving it a two tone look of mat and shiny finishes.

 

I have the same grip on mine and I had Gus stipple it and it's awesome. Did you handle mine when you saw it?

[Burns 16]

That looks badass man.

I actually didn't see that grip on yours, I only fondled your AR that he has on the site, I think it was the BCM grip that it had on it the time.

 

The entire rifle has a lot of contrast that really makes it look like a work of art. I haven't put it in the rifle bag yet since I keep staring at it on my desk. Looking forward to getting some back up sights in the next few days and then taking it out to sight it in. Can't wait to see what kind of a tack driver it is, need to start piecing together my next build which is going to be another skeletonized receiver set from F-1 just the AR10 for a long range setup.

Here's an up close shot...

 

[Rob0115 1,105]

Get one of the barrel through the handguard. It's a great detail to be appreciated.

Thinking of a cool background to get more shots of it. We may be doing some graphics on my friend's helicopter and I'm rooting for urban digi camo, would make for some great pics lol

Does the skeletonized process reduce a lot of weight? Does it compromise the strength of the upper lower, or rail?

[Maciej 60]

Not that much in terms of the receiver set, it's maybe an ounce or two lighter than a traditional billet receiver set. I will tell you that because they match the upper and lower the rifle feels extraordinarily sturdy and well constructed. I went with the skeletonized bolt carrier group to reduce recoil, I was torn with going with the JP low mass titanium carrier setup but couldn't justify the extra coin as I got this one for $190, while the JP I think is somewhere in the high $400 low $500 range.

Did you get an adjustable gas block to go w/ the LW BCG?

Affirmative, went with the Seekins low profile adjustable gas block.

[Schrödinger's cat 87]

That looks completely awesome ! Can we have a full build list ?

[mikeyjones 88]

Curious why you went with a heavy buffer if you have an adjustable gas block?

It's just a starting point, but my general idea was to minimize bolt bounce since it's a lighter carrier group, I'm under the general opinion that I'll be playing around with different buffers. There's also the possibility that I may go off the deep end and buy the super light carrier from JP at some point. I'm planning on building a skeletonized AR10 for longer range bench shooting and possible another AR15 for mid range.

Ah awesome! Pics? Tempted now thinking about it knowing Gus' stippling quality. 

[ronhonda 86]

its a really nice build. But I will say this, saw a few at the 3man 3gun match over the weekend, and they were spotless stage 1, filthy buy the middle of the day. Gorgeous none the less.

I believe it, should be getting my Magpul flip up sights in the next two or three days, then I'll take it down to Gun For Hire to sight it in and have some fun with it. 

 

Looking forward to building one or two more rifles, love how they look and feel.

There's a pic of the grip back in the DCS gunsmithing thread.

Love it, just saw it. Going to throw my pics in that thread as well to make sure Gus gets the deserved praise for his work.
