What's your most recent build, or the most interesting build you've ever done?

Putting together my first full sized AR since only pistols were legal in Chicago. Just waiting on my 80% lower, parts kit and jig from 5dtatical.com

I was originally planning on using a 308 upper but I decided to go with 6.5 Creedmoor.

Wasn't planning on posting anything until I was finished putting it together but I needed to get a rough length measurement this morning and I couldn't help laying everything out to see if I need anything else.

Brought the upper and scope from acmemachine.com. Never purchased from them before but since they're located in Fort Wayne I figured I'd give them a shot.

Upper - https://www.acmemachine.com/compone...-23447176&mc_cid=ed8156b725&mc_eid=4beb77bd84

Scope - https://www.acmemachine.com/optics-...-23447176&mc_cid=ed8156b725&mc_eid=4beb77bd84

Going to use a Geissele 2-Stage (G2S) trigger instead of the one included in the lower parts kit and a ERGO Tactical Deluxe Sure Grip Pistol Grip AR-15 Overmolded Rubber.

Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet (obviously) but the fit and finish on the upper and scope are good so I can't wait.

Wife's new Grill yesterday, was my most recent build, should have some nice steaks on it soon.

We invested in a Broil King, all stainless, grill earlier this summer...it's freakin' awesome and has the best 'even-cooking' (aka, heat distribution) I've ever experience over an open flame!
We did some thick burgers first, then followed up with some T-Bones + backed potatoes and then dry-cooked the vegetables on a flat grill on top...yum, yum!

INGO needs a 'Like' button for various threads...there's some really interesting items posted here!

That would be a cool feature.

Built an M1A from a CMP A parts kit and a Bula Defense barreled receiver. It also came with a head spaced bolt. It took the better part of a Saturday, but learned a lot. YouTube is your friend!

Wouldn't necessarily say that any of these are "interesting" but I sure enjoyed building them and continue to enjoy shooting them!

This was the first rifle that I ever bought when I was about 19 or 20 I think, it's a Remington 700LTR. At the time I was young and stupid so I mounted a moderately OK Leupold scope on it using **** rings and wondered why I could never get it zeroed. It sat in that state until I was about 26 or 27 when my buddy asked if I was interested in doing a long range shooting class which was exactly the excuse I needed to overhaul my poor 700. It got a Seekins 20moa base rail, Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x50mm glass w/ Seekins rings, barrel was threaded by a local smith to accept a SilencerCo SpecWar 7.62 brake, CDI detachable bottom metal installed by CDI Precision in Florida, Timney 510 Trigger, and a Badger Ordnance bolt knob. Rifle shoots well better than I do, was I was able to take it confidently out to 700yrds during this class using Federal 175gr Sierra Match King .308 ammo.


The fall after I built my bolt rifle I got the itch to build an AR, I won't bore everyone with the full build list but it's base is a Spikes Tactical upper and lower with a Faxon flame fluted barrel in 5.56, feel free to ask questions on specifics.


My most recent build has been this CZ P10c. I wanted a pistol I could most a RDS too which started as wanting a FN 509 when they were released but I figured it'd be easier to by a "base" or non-red dot ready pistol and sent the slide to have it milled for my specific red dot (Trijicon RMR type2). The slide milling was done by Jagerwerks in Michigan, I had the slide back exactly 1 week to the day from when I shipped it, absolutely insane turn around time, trigger and spring kit is from HB Industries and the threaded barrel/compensator are from Primary Machine, and the magazine extensions are obviously from Hyve. All that's left for it is to get a Surefire X300-U and a good grip stippling.
