So, I decided to go for it all on one and do a S&P 22 for my son with the intentions of him just growing into this .223 and me building a .308 later on...
here's my build, Once Rainier gets back with me about pining the gas block on my barrel I will be placing the order:
upper: Sun Devil (burgandy anodized with zombie etchings)
Ejection Port Cover: POF
barrel: Rainer Arms 16" MEDCON (BK)
gas block: Rainer Arms match grade low
Flash Hider: 5.56 Triton
bolt/carrier: Rainier Arms BCG phosphate
Charging Handle: mega billet
rear sight: Diamond Head (premium GEN2)
Front Sight: Diamond Head (premium GEN2)
gas tube: Rainier Arms (midlength)
hand guard: diamondhead 10.25"
Forward Assist: Iron Viper
lower: Sun Devil
lower parts: RRA (w/ 2 stage trig)
stock (kit) VLTOR Emod
when the gun gets done, it SHOULD be a thing of beauty...with the burgandy anodized lower/upper and all the furnature in black...it will be a one of a kind, thats for sure!
