Well almost....just waiting on the back-up sights to arrive and it will be all done. Went with a Burris 1.5 -6 MTAC with the 5.56 illuminated ballistic reticule and mounted a cheaper holographic site on a 45 degree angle to see how that works before spending big money on one. I think the 1.5x will work for most everything and the holographic red dot may not be needed because it seems I can acquire a quick sight picture with both eyes upon with the Burris dialed down to 1.5x.
It's built on a NFA stripped lower with a standard mil-spec lower parts kit. Everything fit together really tight. No looseness at all. I did have to do some light dremmel work on the area where the mag catch bolt fits. It would not slide far enough down in there where I could finish screwing in the mag catch to be flush with the bolt. One word of warning for anyone doing their first build that I learned the hard way. When it comes time to install the takedown pin detent and spring, put some sort of cover or backstop over the workspace to "catch" the spring and detent pin for when it slips off the rounded takedown pin bolt and slingshots across the room. I had a blast on my hands and knees with a flashlight hunting that stupid tiny pin for 30 minutes. Thankfully I had no music or noise in the background and heard them land so I had an idea of the general location start my search.
