Not really built by myself, there was a lot of help at the Build Party. Lou at Business End Customs did a Fantastic job with the finish. If you see any blemishes it was from missing the rivets with a bfh. Lou still managed to save the day as he was able to remove most of the damage.

The Mount is from IMA and is a reproduction. I also purchased a Crankfire but I will save that for another day.

Wasn't going to post the video but whatever, here it is. It's actually just over 5 minutes long but I don't know how to edit it. I was just trying to get it to function and could have adjusted the sites. Another good thing about videoing the first time trying a new toy out is catching yourself on camera needing better muzzle discipline.

Looks good! Had it out to the range yet? We still need to test fire ours. Tried once only to discover we had been sent a .308 barrel to go with all of our other .30-06 bits!
 
Just got back from the range. After some starts and stops it worked 100%. I have a video of the first attempts, I hope.
 
Video is added. Not much to see, I have another video that I won't post because I couldn't stand the interruptions. If you want to talk instead of shot then go somewhere else.
Seriously, I was making to much noise for a small group of older gents.
