First off, I am not a rich man. I had to piece this together paycheck by paycheck. This work has been in progress since October.

Specs:
RRA lower, consecutively numbered to my pending SBR.
Geiselle SSA trigger.
Magpul PRS and MIAD with spare BCM bolt and firing pin inside.
Spikes upper.
BCM bolt and carrier.
Yankee Hill 20" chrome lined, diamond fluted barrel.
VTAC free float tube.
Leupold Mark AR 4X12X40 mil dot, mounted in a Larue SPR-1.5.
Miculeck muzzle brake.
ARMS flip front and rear. Note: I am aware of the controversy surrounding ARMS. The rear was a freebie. If anyone knows of another flip front that looks like a standard FSB I am all ears.

This is the rifle for me to learn how to shoot with a magnified optic for relative low cost ammo. Any comments and criticism are welcome, as long as they worded in such a manner for me to gain knowledge. If you say it sucks then tell me why and provide me with an option to improve.

Thanks
Mot

Just learned how to post pics. I'm taking shameless advantage of that.

Nice setup! You do realize that you're now officially obligated to follow up with a range report post. :D
 
Wow, you've done a knock-up job Mot. I'm sure many will be as envious as I am.
 
Ive only shot it at 50 yards. Fired 140 rounds. Thats the longest range available to me. (Indoor)

Firing from a bench, once zeroed I could get 3 shots to touch. Try to do five and it becomes apparent that I tinker more than I shoot. They open up to 1.5 inches. I was using PMC 55 grain. I am not a good shot due to lack of practice. Once I get the fundamentals down, I will start shooting with some better ammo. But for now the ammo out performs me and works for my needs.

The cool thing is minimal recoil/muzzle jump. Between the muzzle brake and the 20" barrel the crosshairs barely move off target.

Is this an SBR?

No its a 20". I have 2 lowers consecutively numbered. This is one. The other is pending the tax stamp to be built into a SBR.

I am doing the SBR route because if for some reason I am denied(first NFA endeavor) I am only out the $200. Then I figure something else to turn the lower in. If and when approved this rifle will probably get a suppressor. Kind of a mini SASS concept.

Congrats on finishin' up your build. May it give you many years' worth of tight groups and single shot dead game.
