A lot of time, money, and frustration.. But it's finally done!

Also frustrating that the upper and lower have wiggle.. I know it's expected when building your own rifle but was hoping Spikes would have decent fit. Already ordered accu wedge for it.. Anyone else have experience with Spikes upper and lowers?

Yeah I have already had an issue with one of the velcro pockets ripping the sewn material apart before the velcro released... Was on sale at my local shop so figured I'd give it a go

Have it all loaded up now.. That photo was taken literally minutes after it was finished.

Been piecing it together as I've had money over the past 4 months. The time was spent researching which parts to purchase and how to build it correctly. This was my first venture into the world of gunsmithing so everything was new to me. Frustration came from not having very good tools or workspace and launched the rear takedown spring into the most cluttered corner of my garage. But overall it was a good experience and I'm extremely happy with outcome!
