update on this build 6 months later. it turns out this rifle is quite the shooter. the Odin Works 18 inch barrel is giving me as good as .35 to .75 inch groupings if i do my part off the rest at 100yards! this is with factory match 75 gr HPR brand ammo as well. it really seems to like this ammo a lot over even more expensive stuff of the same grains. still using the same cheap scope which works surprisingly well, but I did add a Burris one piece mount for it which was a big improvement over the stock cheap rings. i am very happy with the rifle. my buddy has a bolt action Remmington 700 VTR .223 and we compete against each other. so far we are about even on the score but i think i will begin puling ahead of him with this build and ammo. the important stuff on it: Sig Sauer M400 upper and lower Odin Works 18" .223 Wylde chamber intermediate gas Geissle SSA-E trigger ( 2 stage 1.5./3.5 lb) UTG Pro free float hand guard Magpul UBR stock cheap chinese glass that works good in good light out to a few hundred yards. holding zero very well BTW, that's my new Savage Model 10 FCP-SR .308 in the backround. only 40 rounds through it so far but it looks like it will shoot.  </a>" />

That's a helluva frankenbuild. Never thought I'd see UTG and Chinese with Geissele and Odin.  Those are great results! I've never used a Odin barrel but I really like the rail I bought from them so that's good to know they are consistent.I believe UTG pro is made in the USA |

yea it's a bit of a monster. except for the glass, i wanted to put my limited funds into what i thought was most important, ie, barrel, trigger, and free floating the barrel. the UTG hand guards are surprisingly good. i have 4 of them and they are light, reasonably tough and modular with regard rail attachments. some day i want to put some better glass on it to extend out the useable range
here are some of the results. HPR 75 gr match HPBT  </a>" />

I actually have a friend that just used the UTG and I was surprised at the quality for the price. 
ETA: Hot damn those are great groups.
