Nice looking rifle. I like that barrel milling design.

 

You sure went all out and built this puppy from scratch. Many folks including myself buy an assembled upper and have someone pin/weld the brake on for us. Big kudos on doing it all yourself.

 

You have me wanting to get a flux welder now, though being that I can barley solder anything, I'm betting I would cause some kind of global catastrophe with one... =@

Very nice, David! Something to be proud of.

looking good. i am putting my shopping list together to build my first AR as well. i was looking at the Samson Evolution rails as well. where did you find it for $80?

thanks pizzabob means alot coming from ya buddy! the samson rail was like new but used from a felow forum member. in reality when I started, I wanted this to be a super budget build but ya know how these things always end up. at the same time it was very hard not to go crazy with the cool exotic stuff, like gas piston set ups, or spikes tactical nickel boron bcg, I wanted that so bad! so I tried to stay in middle ground.
