My 7lb Lilja WASP build - lilharcher - 04-05-2014
Very excited about my new build. Just got my small parts back from Cerakote and finally got it put together. Purchased the Lilja WASP profile 18.88" barrel via the group buy (thanks again Cory). Here are a few pics:

Super light build......NSR rail is the lowest profile rail i have ever used.....really like it and it is comfortable in my hand. Can't wait to get to the range. Thanks for looking!

That is one nice looking rifle, top of the line build. Looks like you spent your pennies in all the right places. Is that graphite black Cerakote on the receivers or is that the standard finish? I like it.
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - lilharcher - 04-06-2014
Thanks for the kind words. The upper, lower, and hand guard are existing standard finish. All small parts, including six small screws to attach hand guard to barrel nut, are cerakoted foliage green. I'm debating whether or not to cerakote the hand guard foliage too, but tape off the top rail section and keep that black (so the transition of upper and rail on hand guard are consistent).

Very nice looking rifle. Should be shooter fo sure. Happy shootin. BANG BANG!!

Sweet!
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - LRRPF52 - 04-06-2014
Dude that is sweet. I'm still trying to work out the details of my 18 Lilja Wasp build, but it will be lightweight and use Seekins receivers. Already have the upper. I'm thinking carbon fiber for the HG, but have also been eyeballing the BCM KMR. It's crazy lightweight.
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - lilharcher - 04-06-2014
I have heard the KMR is pretty sweet too. Love the NSR and have yet to own or see a lower profile hand guard. Width is only 1.45", so it hugs the WASP barrel nicely. 15" hand guard weighs only 8.5 ounces, and another 3.1 ounces for the barrel nut.

Very nice selection of parts! Congrats on your build! Post up some groups and velocities too if you can.
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - Blacklab - 04-06-2014
Very nice! looking forward to your range report.
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - Buster - 04-06-2014
Excellent looking stick!
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - explorecaves - 04-06-2014
Very similar to my plans for cerakoting my build. Good to see my thoughts actually do look good.
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - lilharcher - 04-10-2014
Thanks, still kicking around the idea of cerakoting the handguard, but taping-off the rail section to keep the original finish across the entire top of the rail (black).

Stop taking my ideas! LOL Looking forward to see how it looks.

That is one sexy looking rifle! What is that button above the mag release on your receiver?
My 7lb Lilja WASP build - lilharcher - 04-18-2014
Thanks for the compliment. The button above the mag release is the ambi bolt release, which is a feature on the mega and Seekins billet uppers, and other high end billet uppers.
