Went to the indoor range to sight in last night. It's only 40 yards (I think) but I love it for initial zeroing due to lack of weather.

Found some factory ammo the rifle agrees with as well, looking good so far!

Hornady was my winner, 5 shot group. No muzzle device, I get to see a nice light show through the scope.

Mine is .750" I got it from CTCS but I'm pretty sure that's the only size they have. Brownells also carries the same one but it is currently showing out of stock.

I have no idea where to find one of these in .625". Brownells doesn't carry one that size.

EDIT: Just found that SLR Rifleworks makes one in .625" but you'll have to get it through an importer.

cancel that
 
Well, it was all fun and games until my bipod fell apart.

Finally putting it to work, and she's running smooth so far!

So I finally sorted out the gasblock issues (took jiffx2781's advice and bought a dimpling jig) and went for range session #2. Ran through 240 rounds of various surplus 7.62x39 with zero issues. The bolt didn't fully lock back after the last round a couple of times. The rifle was ejecing 1:30-2 o'clock so it could still be a little overgassed...gonna try an H buffer next slow down bolt speed a little. Wasn't really testing for accuracy but shooting off my bag I'd say it was 1.5 to 2 MOA so I was very impressed!

It’s a simple low budget build.

Parts list:
CNA 20” 5.56 barrel 1:7
OD green Magpul furniture (rifle length MOE handguard)
Nickel Boron Brownells BCG
Standard LPK (including trigger)
A2 flash hider
Aluminum gas block

I made what tools I didn’t have already (castle nut wrench, flash hider wrench, and barrel nut wrench)


All in, I’m very close to 2k after tax

I have a Burris PEPR and a Leupold 2-7 scope for this rifle.


Great bang for your buck build. I'm looking into building one of these after the election 2020-2021 time frame. Will be looking back at your build for inspiration!
