Next time you need gunsmith recommendations let me know,.. I work at Shilen and have a ton of people I could get you in contact with. Nice gun! But I'm sure you figured out setting the head spacing isn't as hard ad it seems.
yea, I did head spacing in the army, just didn't have the tools till now and its been 6-7yrs since iv messed with an ar, mostly dealt with the 240s and m2s my last couple yrs in the army. only thing I need now is to powder coat or dura-coat the whole weapon in the flat earth color just like the stock. hopefully the coating will allow me to start painting it and it sticking. what/where is shilen?
dodgegirl, I found 300rds of lake city 5.56 for $135, plus tax, but im trying to get the purchases tax exempt. I don't think I will be able to get tax exemption, but its worth a shot. even with out tax exemption, its still cheaper than $180.
Shilen Rifles INC makes custom match grade barrels for bolt action and Ar15s. We are located in Ennis tx. We ship out custom actions/barrels to a company in California and they coat everything for us. The finish is pretty durable.
