Awesome! What are you planning on for optics?
Not sure yet, I have a cheap Hammers 3-9x I'll use for the time being. Hopefully it will hold zero. I'm ordering a bipod and larue mount in a few days.

Burris Tac 30.
I have the Burris XTR1-4, I am very happy with it. I am thinking about picking up a Tac 30 for an other rifle, I have heard good things about it.
Very nice! .50 AE I take it?Finally....

Stag A2 stock kit came in today to complete the puzzle!!
Sightron 3-9x42mm sitting on top, temporarily while my bank account recovers then I'll be looking for a 1-4x
Call me if you decide to sell that sightron, is it an S2 or S3. Nice build..... is that a battlecomp I see on that barrel?
Haha, thank you! The Sightron is an SII, no plans to sell it, once I get an optic for this AR, it will be on stand by for a bolt gun.
It is a BattleComp, 1.0 matte stainless, courtesy of edmorseiii.
Have you had a chance to try it? I just ordered the 1.5 from BCM.
No not yet, I'm hoping to get to the range tomorrow morning with it though. I will write up my impressions in my build thread.
GLOCK 37, Feels really good in the hand but still don't know how I feel about the GAP round
meth0d, I like that, where did you order those?
Technically this sig P229 is not new, but I add some upgrade to it. It's totally transform this beast. This P229RM born to run 40SW, but will take 357sig too. New upgrade include E2 slim grip and SRT trigger.
Looks good!
Where did you pick up the kits from? How long was the installation? Did you need a new mainspring?
Well, this ain't one of them-thar newfangled arquebuses y'all are showing pictures of, but it IS a new acquisition and it DOES have a trigger, so...
My 50th birthday present (only 13 months late):
It's an 85LB claplock crossbow. Stock by Garvin the Slow, lock by Alchem, Inc, prod by Master Gladius (I believe). Assembly by a local SCA Grand Master Bowman with my thumb-fingered assistance (Richie insists that if he's going to sell me a crossbow, the buyer assists in the assembly so that he knows how to maintain it - it'll need new strings and new prods over the years as the old ones wear out. Next week I get to learn how to make my own bolts for it. The whole procedure was actually a lot of fun, almost as much fun as shooting it at the end of the day!)
The stock is a laminate of cherry and rock maple, we think. It's definitely two very hard woods as we found out doing a slight adjustment to the angle of the prod.
Instead of the usual rolling block (or nut) release, this uses a late medieval design called a "clap lock". Much simpler to make, much easier to adjust the trigger pull and release. And much easier to replace when I finally wear it out.
Those two black inlays on the table are Micarta, to lengthen the life of the string.
Very sweet considering that I haven't had any time to customize it. The trigger pull is too long and a bit rough, so I'll be shortening the sear. On recommendation from Richie, I'll just shoot it in to smooth it up rather than stoning it.
Point-blank range he thinks will be about 35 yards - at 20 yards, it' shoots about 16" above point of aim. I just need to practice with it to learn what the trajectory is. But it groups pretty nice.
Overall, I'm pleased with it.
