As I said before this is my first AR build, hoping to build a sub MOA hunting rifle. I tried to do my home work, and order quality parts, but I know I've missed some small parts.
Parts on hand are Spikes lower with LPK and RRA NM 2 stage trigger.
Waiting on Liberty 18" barrel/bolt comb from the group buy.
Was going to order a Vltor billet upper, but ordered a Cross Machine billet upper instead. (I liked the fact that they are machined on a 5 axis machine, hopefully translates to tighter tolerances.) Ordered a BCM Gunfighter with large latch, dust cover kit and forward assist assembly also.
For a handguard I ordered the Diamondhead VRS T 13.5". I was originally looking at a Todd Jarrett for the past couple of years, but I really liked the engineering of the barrel retaining nut on the Diamondhead. Plus it's triangular, everything else is round or square, so I like different.
I ordered the Kies NiB BC and RRA bolt rebuild kit. Will the Grendel bolt with the barrel have an extractor? I was told the extractor in the kit would not work for Grendel bolts.
I finally settled on a Seekins Precision low profile adjustable gas block. Looks like it's adjustable from the front instead of the side, and at $50 I thought it was a steal. I ordered an Armalite mid length gas tube and retaining pin.
I picked up an adjustable Mako stock with adjustable cheek piece, mil-spec buffer tube, buffer, and spring at the last gun show.
I'll probably pull the 3.5X10X50 Leopold VX III for optics off of my 6.5 Swedish Mauser.
OK, what do I need other than something to protect the barrel threads, scope rings, mags???
