Nice man. I've been through this whole thread and that's one of my favorites. Reminds me of an MP5. Is that what you were going for?

Here's my first one just finished:

:) thank you very much! It's more of a coincidence that it turned out like an mp5, I originally had a different look in my head. The parts I bought were somewhat dictated by the price. But once I finished it, I felt as if it's the perfect looking PDW.

Yours looks awesome as well! What are some specs?

Thanks. I'm still deciding on a muzzle device. I've used:
-Aero stripped lower
-Aero M4E1 enhanced upper
-Aero M4E1 12" keymod handguard
-Aero low profile gas block
-DD 14.5" barrel
-DD BCG
-ALG combat trigger
-Raptor charging handle
-Vortex Viper 3-9x

One of the biggest game changers for my rifle was changing out the trigger. Had a mil spec GI trigger with a 8lbs pull. A gun like this needed something lighter. I got the Geissele super 3 gun trigger and it's insane how quick it is. I belive they make the ALG triggers as well, how do you like yours?

Tomorrow is the first range day, but I've played with the trigger and I like it a lot. Basically no take-up to speak of and a smooth crisp break. I don't have enough experience to estimate the pull weight but it seems light enough and it feels great. I had several people recommend this trigger to me for performance vs cost. Got it from Arms East.

Edit: Took it to the range today. It's actually not as light as I thought. Could definitely be a tad lighter for me. The product description says it's about 6 pounds.
