How did you attach the muzzle break?

Are the irons still usable with that for-end?

That's a nice little gun. Good job.
Have you ever considered going the SBR route with one?

It is welded.

Yup no obstuctions at all looking through the sights.

That !!!!!

How did you end up mounting the ACE folder block ?

Yeah, maybe someday. I really like how it is right now, i know everyone really like SBR's i guess i just really dont see the point in paying $200 to be able to shorten my barrel a couple inches. And i just would HATE giving the government $200 for something that should not cost a dime....

Nicely done! It turned out looking pretty damn good!

Figured it was welded but was the barrel threaded? Have been wanting to change one out for a buddy but am concerned about the barrel, hate to split it and find out it is not threaded.

well the left hole i drilled and tapped just fine, the right hole i drilled, got 1/2 way down and snapped the tap off. I could not find anywhere that would get the tap out. So i moved it down a little and drilled a new hole and started tapping it. I BROKE ANOTHER TAP!. at this point i was getting real p*ssed. i had enough room to drop it a little more and make a third hole. i started tapping and got about 3/4 of the way down and it started binding up. i stopped there and grinded some washers smaller and used them to "shim" the bolt so it would tighten down all the way. Now, you cannot see my other "screw ups" the folding mechanism is adjustable 1/2 and it is big enough that it covers the messups.

Yeah as far as i know all draco barrels are threaded. You just grind off the little weld holding on the barrel nut and you have 1/2" of threads. screw on brake and weld it.

I'm going to pick up a RDS eventually

I've fired ~3k through my Draco with a Primary Arms RDS on it. It cowittnesses with an Ultimak, don't know if it will with what you're running. Don't know if that even matters to you.

The only wierdness with the P.A. is the dot on mine flickers while firing when the battery gets low. At first it pissed me off, now I look at it as an "early" warning to change the battery.

I know that there are better RDS's out there, but the durability of mine has been more than I expected... especially at the price I paid.

Mine's a "Gen 1," but here's a link to the current model.

Primary Arms Micro Dot (Gen 7)

[Jtgarner]

If you do decided to get an optic, I would be interested to see what you choose and how/if you can still use the irons with that rail.
