got the rtb low mass carrier/low power buffer spring and sanders armory bolt put together with a cam pin, firing pin , and stainless retainer, and ambi charging handle from k&m
cycles smooth as can be , might need a 2 postion gas block for unning supressed or my std buffer spring might do the trick

got her all setup in hunting mode , going out after some yotes tonight , this thing is freaking heavy in night hunting trim , just for the heck of it i shouldered it to see if i could make a 200y shot and while i can i cant hold it steady long that big ole ir illuminator in the front just makes it to unbalanced

the 28 is getting a new upper reciver , since this is primarlily a elr target gun im not worried about having a skelotonized upper on it
im going to put the gen 1 billet upper thats on my 28 onto my 20inch buiild

Have you tried moveing the illuminator further back to balance it out some? I like a heavy gun for offhand (from the high power shooting days), but balance is definitely important. Interested to see how this works out

moving it back when underneath the barrell will make it cast a shadow in the ir beam , when im out at night im hunting off a tripod anyways and i just moved the position of my arca plate that mounts to the hg to make the setup balanced, this really isnt a gun to take hunting anyways but still fun to do once in a while
