I lost another week due to a back injury but did manage to get the rifle put together today with one caveat. The Superlative Arms clamp on adjustable gas block is too close to the inside of the Fortis/Rainier forend (at 6 o'clock) so I ordered a solid version with the same matt stainless finish that will be here in a few days. Other than that this build turned out very nice.
The JP enterprises silent captured spring is very slick, as is the stock, the QR forend, the Radian safety etc. I haven't figured out what I want to do in terms of optic or mount but will use something already in inventory until I get a better idea of what I want on here. The AREA419 brake is on there for effect more than anything. Most shooting will be supressed but I do want to see if the brake adversely affects accuracy.
I really like that the Falkor upper/lower receivers use threaded pins rather than roll pins for the forward assist, the rear take down pin etc. The Geiselle trigger is excellent as expected. The only QC issue was the POF roller cam pin upgrade. I've bought more than a few of those over the years and this one should never have left the premises. I cleaned it up but it's not their usual quality.
