Its the camera.  look at photo #2, the table edge is curved not straight...like the lens is fish-eyeing it.

It is all together and on its way to ADCO for muzzle attachment.  I would have posted a pic but the BATFE would have paid me a visit.  I am sure they would have suggested that I was trying to assembly a SBR w/o the proper paperwork.  Even though I have a SBR registered receiver that isn't the receiver that this upper is going on.  Pics to follow in 10 business days.

Awesome choice on the troy medival FH. They are so sweet and yet they just arent on many rifles. I had one on my first AR and sold it but man was that FH cool.

Piggy is going on my 10.5 SBR ( As some a Vltor get off its ass and delivers the new VIS upper receivers to MSTN)

Well, that did it.  I have finally gotten the motivation to build my own.  I've seen dozens of these build threads but you just stoked the fire under me.  What a nice rifle.  Excellent components from muzzle to buttstock.

Congrats!

Damn!!  I've been looking for a purple AR

Is you charging handle, et al, from Bushmaster.  Mine looks purple in the picture I took of it. Going to have to KG Kote later.  

Very nice job!  The Brownell Finish Looks real good.
Post you pics in the refinish section, in the Armory!

Sweet looking rifle man.

Cheap camera lenses have more barrel and pin-cushion distortion than more expensive lenses.  The camera makers allow more distortion to creep into their designs to keep the camera's cheap.  They know that people will not take the time to compare the quaility of one camera to another.  And all people will see is the price.  In addition, that is a close up and most makers don't think that people will take that many close up's or care that much about the quality.

Looks like everything came together nicely. How's she shoot?

Turn-Key, it looks like that's a PRi GasBuster charging handle.
