18" fluted .223 wylde, rifle length gas with the black Armor-Tuff finish.
Wilson upper, gas block, tube and 15" handguard.
No wrench with handguard and all mine at home are to wide.
I should have something at work to cinch it down with.

I used an A2 FH I had and will leave it like that.
Radian BCG and charging handle flesh out the top end, I have some Magpul sights that will probably get put on.
I have an Arken 4-16x50 on a Midwest Industries 1.93" mount for up top.

Aero lower.
BCM lower parts kit.
Centurion Arms AST two stage trigger.
Radian safety selector.
Vltor A5 action, A5H2 buffer and a Tubbs flat wire spring.

Just test fitting.


The barrel is cool looking and pretty beefy, not as heavy as I thought it would be. The finish looks good, nice and even.
Snug fit into the upper, almost thermal fit.
The gas block will need to be heated up a bit to slide on.
Gas port in the barrel measures at .098"
The handguard had to be heated a bit to get it over the barrel nut without bashing the front of it.
Same for getting it off.

All said that was what I should have done instead of getting the 16" Faxon barrel.
I have that upper sold so it worked out.

PSA has Federal GMM 77 gr so I picked up 100 rounds of that to try out.

Nice.
I am really digging Wilson Combat stuff currently!
Hopefully by the end of next week all my stuff will be here for my Wilson build with BA barrel.

The barrel nut is a 1 3/16" or 30 mm.
The 1 3/16" wrenches I have I'm not grinding to fit.
I do have a 30mm that I thinned down to fit a sensor that worked.

No mag or optic and it comes in at 7.8 lbs.
Installed the scope and it went to 11.2 lbs.
Feels balanced though and still lighter than the .308 with a 16" barrel.

All done but the test fire and zeroing.

No more scope swapping.
Excellent suggestion from fritz on the NF 2.5-10x42.
Just what was needed for this rifle.
Makes the Arkin 4-16 look gigantic, which I suppose it is at 44 oz scope and mount.
About 27 oz for the NF scope and mount, makes for a much lighter rifle that's already sorta heavy.


Just initial install and bore sight but I'm pretty happy with it so far looking around and playing with it.
Usable from min to max 25 yds to around 1000 from what I can see with it so far.
Should be solid to 500 yds.
But for now I'm stuck on short ranges till October so will have to wait to the fall to get any distance.
I'm on the wait list at one range and Oct is the next review.
The woods open back up in Oct too so one way or the other.
