Looks great! It won’t be you’re last build!

You are probably right. New to platform. Used what I had around. RTB had a real decent price complete bolt. BA Hanson I've had for awhile so used it. Might do a black coating on barrel. See how it runs here shortly. Definitely convert one or more of my Wylde's if I get hooked. Parts do not seem difficult to find, but brass and seeds seem to be. Or should I say can be found for crazy prices. looking forward to working up some loads. Speer gold dots, Nozler partition if I can find. Thank you for comment.

Great looking build!

I missed out on those sets... some regerhts.

I have a pin weld in the works, but maybe I'll post my current pistols as well.

They have had so many nice sets. I've passed on a bunch only to find them marked up on gun broker. First Friday of every month 12am. start. they usually sell out quick. black topo set was nice! Used what I had available to get build done. I have a 223 wylde ready for conversion if I like this platform. Definitely stretch one out to a 16". Going to do some reading through posts, and ask ?'s on precision barrels and bolts. Thanks for commenting.
