I still need to get a Jewell trigger for the Armalite lower, a new grip & maybe an adjustable butt plate from Fulton.
 I can't wait to get it to the range!

Very very nice, but something looks wrong.  You better send it to me for complete testing and evaluation.  I just don't want you to get hurt or waste range time with a malfunctioning weapon.  Of course this is a free service I'll provide to fellow ARFCOM members.  You only have to pay the shipping cost.  No need to thank me, just trying to do my part.




Seriously, she's a beauty.  Have fun.

Bet it'll drive a tack!

Be safe and have fun.

Thanks Guys!  I'll definitley have a full report when I get to the range.
I may not be until the first of Nov. though I've got a bunch of stuff on my plate right now.
 I'm really really broke now too!  The scope was a bit extravagnt for me & if I spend anymore cash on guns right now my wife will probably beat me too death with one.
 I hope this Krieger barrel is a tack driver.
I look at those RRA Varmints for $500 & wonder about the cost difference but it's nice to have 1 or 2 items in the safe that are top shelf.

Wow!  That is just beautiful, man [>(]...

I'm looking at putting together a similar rifle.  That's the first time I've seen the Armalite extended scope mount, though.  I was going to use ARMS 22 QRs but this thing is making me think twice.  It looks very nice but how's it work so far?

funny you say that because it's [b]NOT[/b] a Bushmaster, it's a post ban('99)[b]ARMALITE[/b] lower

I'm actually thinking about switching my RRA lower from my M4gery when I get the Jewell because it's black!

 You mean the gap from the objective bell to the top of the receiver ??

OR

the main part of the tube between the rings ??

I'll measure it for you!
