Finally got in my rifle length free float tube and swapped out the mid-length tube. AA upper, lower, barrel-bolt combo. RR two stage trigger and Nikon scope.
it's on the paper at 100 yds and I will rest it and get some groups next week.

How do you like the rifle length FF tube as opposed to the middy?  At the range last week I shot next to a gent who had a rifle length tube on his 3-gun AR, and I have to admit it did feel like it gave better muzzle control over the gun than one gets with a mid length.

Looking forward to reading about how it shoots.  Thanks for posting the pic.

Congrats on your new build! May I ask how long it took for your order to be delivered? I placed an order with Alexander Arms March 15 for a barrel/bolt combo, AA upper, mags, flash hider. Still waiting. Please post some pics of your 100" groups!

The rifle length tube makes the rifle balance better and covers up the gas block. I am very happy with it. I accumulated the parts for about three months due to budget. Used an AA cosmetic  blem lower and new AA barrel and bolt from gunbroker. Got the stripped upper from Umlaut  Industries, they had it in stock. I already had a midlength handguard and sold it when I got the rifle length tube. Both were Rock River so I only had to swap the tube as barrel nut is the same for both. Have about $800 in it plus the scope and mounts. I will hunt Texas deer with it this season..

That's not bad at all!

Best of luck in the upcoming hunting season.
