Unfortunately, a good friends, not mine!
Unfortunate for me, not for him!

Boy he didn't cut any corners on that one! I know the Seekins stuff is top shelf but I never could warm up to the aesthetics of his lowers.
What caliber?
Too bad he went with a cheap scope on it...(tss tss tss tss tss tss)

It's chambered with the LBC .264 reamer.

Although it's not traditional AR15 I really like the shape of most of the billet offerings... I have my eye on the new Spartan billet lowers from joebob.. wanting to see what people think of them first.

you have a picture of the barrel without the guard the spiral fluting is not done justice by the extra long hand guard
Punctuation is for the weak....

I just looked at that scope on SWFA, the builder has very fine taste. The DNA on this rifle has got to produce some very fun shooting. I thought the JP rifles were pretty sweet but this build is just exhibits class like a Bugatti Veyron.
That scope is about as much as the rifle, S&B. Let's see how it shoots.

Everything I have seen from Seekins so far is such that I would buy their stuff sight unseen. Their receiver fit & finish is superb when you look at it up close, see how the lines come perfectly together, rock-solid feeling mate between upper and lower, nice aesthetics, etc.

Just wish they would make or sell some of the SBA-15's. http://www.seekinsprecision.com/ar-lower...lower.html
The SP223 is nice but the standard magwell with the ambi-bolt release is nice too.

Roger that! I've had the chance to handle multiple Seekins builds over the past few weeks and they are very well put together, invariably.
This rifle is actually owned by someone closely associated with Seekins, and I'll see if we can't get some grouping pictures sometime soon. I know that I was able to smack steel with it as fast as I could pull the trigger on a 150 yard target, but that was childs play compared to what it was capable of.

Hey what a coincidence, I got that pic yesterday in a text message! bwaites, we must have the same friend. :-) The same guy built my 264 lbc and he can do it justice shooting, I'm a loooong way off. I really should upload some pics.

Zach, he told me it had a near twin out there, at least as far as the barrel goes! Yes we need pics!

That is one slick looking rifle. I have some Seekins stuff inbound for another build. Really interested in how it shoots. My guess is that it will be stellar.

The barrel's twin is on his bother's build, mine has a standard 18" stainless rock creek tube. I'll work on pics tonight after class.

My Lilja barrel will be on a Seekins Billet Lower and Upper......just trying to decide between the Seekins 15" MCSR handguard and the 15" Geissele MK4.......i have both sitting in my safe.
