New Build Completed

[Lodge]

Got the Cerakote done at Element Armament in Whiteland. Finished the build last night.
Tune the block and sight in as soon as the weather breaks.

Awful purdy... I'm digging the photography.

What color is that? Looks like a Sig grey or something...

Good looking build….I really need to get started on another one.

Same here... Need to quit buying new stuff and get some old builds done.

Thank you. These are pics I did late last night. Planning on getting some better ones today. It's H234 Sniper Grey.

TY. I love doing builds. I used a few different parts than usual. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Well, looks good anyway. We'll see how it shoots as soon as the weather breaks.

Looks great! Did you use different parts for a weight reduction reason or quality reasons? Or maybe just to switch things up...

Really just to change things up. I've been through the heavy gun thing, since then I always try to keep that in mind. Where I deviated from my norm is using Aero upper, lower and rail, going with a more affordable optic, installing a lightning bow trigger and going with the Daniel Defense stock. Just mixing it up this time. Oh yeah, this is the first time I've had a Cerakote job done. Diggin' that majorly!

Nice looking build. I really like the gray cerakote. I really like shooting with the lightning bow trigger.

Tornado Gray I think is what the kids call it. The kids with their droopy pants and sideways hats, just don't understand them.

Thank you. I've used the Geissele B-GRF trigger in my other ARs, never used the lightning bow... looking forward to it!

Thank you. I'm pretty proud of it!

I was hoping Tornado Grey (Daniel Defense color) would match the Cerakote I wanted but it was significantly lighter.
This is Sniper Grey H 234. All of the grays are so similar and one would have been just as good as the other, more or less, so I went with this.

 

[Lodge]

I added an Arisaka finger stop. Sweet little item. Still keeps the lightweight, pared down look of the build.
You can kind of see it in the top 2 pics.

Did Element (very nice shop) actually do the Cerakoating or did they sub it out?

 

[Irondad]

Beautiful
