The answer is I think not.




Ouch. I guess the truth hurts the most

I've got enough 1/2" 321 stainless ordered to do the exhaust flanges for both cylinder heads. Wasn't terribly cheap at $100, but it's best for what I want to do. I hope to get at least one set milled out this weekend.

Cost pretty much depends on how much you want to spend.

The first one I built cost about $700 to get up and running with a decent barrel/upper, standard M4 collapsible stock, pretty much standard lower:




About another $500 and I had a decent optic setup and a nice MAGPUL PRS stock.


The one I'm building right now I've spent about $800 on, and I've yet to get a barrel, handguard and stock, which total, will be another $1000 or a little less, without any kind of optic. Factoring in a nice Eotech holosight would be another $400.

Pics in its current form:



Here's a model I made to get a feel for what I'm going after.




Pics show it with the handguard and flash hider I'm going for.
Final form will be a 10.5" Short Barrel Rifle (SBR). I'm also about to put my BATF Form 1 paperwork through for building a suppressor, which would add another 6-7" of length. If I permanently attached it to the barrel, I could get around the $200 SBR tax stamp and pay for the tax stamp for the suppressor only.

Hey, the email bounced again, so here is a preview of the drawing I got with my parts. As Imentioned it's 22ft long and has 5 views, but not of too much value from a design standpoint.

May as well put up a photo of the head. I got some of the shelf dust off of it.

For the rest of the group, I just scored a basically NOS SD4 16v head and shortblock ass'y. Lots of little bags and boxes of parts still to sort through. I don't actually have a use/plan for it yet, but just couldn't pass up the oportunity to get my hands on one.
Nate and Tom have been kind enough to help me out with some documentation and info.
Thanx Guys.

Now back to your regular scheduled topic....
