Bought more parts today. 5.56 upper, faxxon 16 inch pencil, right to bear upper, strike ambi charging handle, toolcraft bolt, aero handguard. New Frontier lower CF. Strike brake,comp. J-? Might try it on the hunting LH side charger 223 wylde.
Going to put a slick side on the faxxon and put together a lightweight rifle and use the CF new frontier lower on it. Been loading mags and assembling rifles from the parts bin with the wife. Had fun!
Assembled a lightweight rifle. 4.6 lbs. Faxxon pencil barrel. 1.2 lbs, can you believe that?? Holy crap. Using the bushmaster lower. Going to assemble the new frontier CF lower and see how much it knocks off. Hopefully I can reach the under 4lbs mark without resorting to any of the really exotic parts.
You still shying away from the moto tool diet? It will "cut" the weight down! Lol
Picked up a su16.(C?) Always wanted to try one, found a good deal and I bought it. Some kind of aftermarket break on it. Will do some reading up on it.
It can fire from the folded position. The forward stock folds out to make a bi-pod. Very lightweight. Can use any AR mag but will only fold over the 20. Only downside (if it is one) is it's pretty much done, can't mod or really change anything, not like an ar. Peep sight. Gas system looks ak-ish. Side charger which I like. It's a shoot and see I guess.

Finally made the jump from 9mm to 45 auto! Been wanting a 45 for several years now so I finally did it. Also purchased a chest holster as this will be the firearm I wear while duck hunting in the marshes! Had some scary moments this past year standing belly deep in marsh mud with gators!

damn fine looking weapon and rig! if you ever decide to change those grips, let me know.
Carried a Kimber Ultra Carry CDP II for several years. Loved the 3" bbl and stippled front strap. Changed the grips to VZ and bought some Wilson Combat 47D guts for the Kimber mags. Added extended base plates(bumpers) also.
Would reccomend you add some length to the pictured mags for quicker and positive mag seating using one hand and the "mag on body" technique.
In fact . . . I still have some mag bumpers that add about 1/4" to the mags OAL. You can have them if you need/want them. IIRC,several colors w/ needed screws.
