Assembled the upper completely today. Who knew one could not find a 29 MM crows foot found in Phoenix. The barrel nut that came with the Rousch Sports Fore end has that size hex built in. Having trued the receiver, it took all 3 shims to get things to line up properly. Ended up using a cresent wrench to tighten the barrel nut. Given there is a 30 to 80 so odd FT Lb range, we are somewhere in there. Pretty sure I cannot approach 80 with an 8 inch cresent and am well over 30. Gas tube and gas block went on with no hassle. Witness marks on the barrel and gas block helped. Got the lower together with the exception of the Buffer assembly and butt stock that have yet to arrive. The CMMG trigger is not too bad. It is not gritty and pretty crisp break. No where near as nice as a RR match, but acceptable.
I will take the upper to the range tomorrow. Hope the mount for the Vortex Viper arrives today, if not will use one of my other scopes with a QD mount just to see group size.
The Luth MBA-3 stock arrived today as well.
The mount was in the mailbox today also. Scope mounted.
Will be able to hit the range in the AM to see how the Odin Works barrel shoots. Will try Hornady factory SST and some Lvr and SST bullets.
