Build #5 the new shorty 12" monster barrel - mel - 03-13-2021

so i decided i wanted a lil longer barrel then the 10 so i have a 12 inch monster from bft on the way
this ones going to be a pretty basic build
ep polymer lower
milspec trigger group with jp reduced power springs unless i decide to put my frt trigger into this build though i dont know if i should do that with a polymer lower
aero forged upper reciver
adjustable gb
h2 buffer setup

only thing i dont have on the way yet is a handguard my usual place i buy mine from is oos and i cant seem to find a decently prices 10" hg anywere , so i may cut down the 15" hg i had on my original 20" inch grendel build for this

For what its worth, I bought a 10 inch free float M Lok handguard from STNGR, and found it to be a great product. Extremely light, well-made, affordable, and made in the USA. It checked every block for me.

kind of , its an sbr while in my hands , but this gun is going to be gifted to someone so its going on a non sbr lower with a pistol brace so she can take it out when im not around after i put it threw the testing , i may have to do a trust here at some point, if she doesnt like the brace i may have her form 1 it for the time being as well

With the uncertainty of the pistol brace designation, Ive been thinking about starting the paperwork for SBR.

i blame me for the flier i had my atn on the gun and forgot the light restrictor plate since i normally only use this particular scope at night so target was supper pixelated/blurry which is why i only shot a 3 rd group

90g speer tnt also shot with the atn
