using a Shilen 20 in barrel 1/8 twist, Geissele nat. match trigger, Anderson lower, Brownells 458 Socom slick side upper which I will machine a charging handle slot on the left side. Other bits to follow. Fingers crossed on the machining of the upper.
May I ask why you're building a single shot? I build a manually operated AR for testing very reduced loads in the .223 and had a lot of fun with it but I still used the regular magazine. Are you wanting to shoot extra long cartridges -- too long to fit any magazine? My setup uses a right side charging handle but a left side charging handle might work really well for me. Could you do some pictures of your work and post them? I have spare upper receivers looking to be used for something.
