Keep the updates coming.  I'm nearly done with mine, just waiting on the barrel.  I'm so impressed w/ the quality of the Mega.  What lower did you go with?  I went with their matching billet lower for this build.

Looks good, that the rifle or mid length? I know you weren't talking to me but I got the forged Mega Lower with a RRA parts kit in it.

It's rifle length.  My original plan was to build another 22lr for which I have another barrel coming from Ballistic Advantage, but I'm so impressed that I think I'm going to migrate my 17HM2 barrel and PRS to this upper/lower and save the 22lr barrel for another build/rebuild.

I went with RRA LPK also but out of default not preference.  Is there really any difference in LPK parts as long as it comes from one of the major companies?  I have always just used RRA and keep buying them because they work.

+1 Mega products rock!

I've got a billet lower waiting for one of these Monolithic uppers

what's the weight like compared to say, a Larue handguard + upper receiver

thanks

To me it feels lighter than a traditional upper/rail but that could be mental since these are assembled barrel last rather than rail last.  I have a 12" LaRue rail on its way to go with a LaRue upper receiver I have on hand and will weigh each with barrel nut but without barrel when I have the parts together.  I am rebuilding my current 22lr, replacing the junk spikes upper/lower with quality LaRue upper/Noveske lower.

Haha yeah, I'm kinda liking it also.  I bought that about a year ago when I got all excited about a LaRue OSR but gave up on that and put the 648 on a shelf for when I build up an AR-10 Carbine now that I'm stocked up on AR-10 mags.  ACOG weights as much as the rifle does without the barrel, crazy nice scope even if a bit overkill for that rig.

Larue 12" on a forged upper is about 23.7 oz.  Mega rifle length monolithic is 26.6 oz. (thats w/ no bcg or charging handle)

The mega rifle length is 26.6 by iteslf and 28.w oz with the barrel nut.

Haven't received the gas block yet, but it's almost done....  here's a few more pics.  I can't believe how easy it is to install the barrel.



Rainier 18.5 SPR barrel






Almost done!

Looks very nice.  Just got in the YHM QD Phantom but still no barrel.
