Is that electrical tape inbetween the front sight and barrel? Looks really good. Were did you get the parts? Kind reminds me of airsoft parts...
Now for a railed handguard and it'll be all done!

Yes it is I will have to make a slieve to make it fit proper I have a friend who will do it for me when he has the time.
the front sight I got from Ronkytonk thanks. A 0.75 inch real sight should be able to be remmed out for an exact fit but I could not find used and good luck getting it from the USA. The rear sight is a UTG from Questar. for 36.00 I'm really impressed with this sight. The one I got is really well made. I will post a few more pics when it is finished in a few weeks.
I have more front sights but they are back home and I would not be able to access them for a few weeks. I should have 3 that fit a 1" barrel and 3 that 7/8" Barrel. PM me if intrested..
The VTR barrel is a little smaller then 7/8 it is .825 of an inch exactly so if the sight can be reamed at that, then there would be no dicking around with a sleve.

I just ordered one a few days ago, but have a few questions...
What stock exactly did you buy? (M&A - Carstock?) I want a collapsible so that the boy can learn on this .22, and it would make it much easier for him.
I've never been into "AR's" but will any stock for any AR fit on this gun? For example, you say you got your stock at Questar, looking there, would the Rock River Arms - Operator Stock Kit get me everything for a stock for this rifle? I just like that style better than a standard collapsible you see on AR's (For some reason it's under "Stocks - Parts" rather than just stocks, and it's 199.00).
I figure I would spend the extra 100 bucks and later perhaps use it on an AR as that bug is starting to bite anyway....

Here you go throw away or sell the spring and buffer in the EE. This by far the cheepest deal I have found and the stock is solid

Thanks for the input man, I assume then that any stock would fit then? I know... probably a stupid question, but want to be sure before I order. Like I said, totally unfamiliar with AR parts and interchangeability.
AB.
Don't forget Ebay, I find all kinds of stuff a whole lot cheaper.
UTG buttstock 4.99
I you have the time to look you could save some big $$
Yaa but he needs the tube and lock ring also.
