My SLR build from TNA!!

[Junction]

Ugly as sin

Mama always said "if you have nothing nice to say then don't say nothing!"

That being said , if we're asking honest opinions.... yeah, that is ugly af.

I don't know what kills it worse, the stainless (looking?) dimpled barrel, or the red skeleton pistol grip?

Different stroked for different folks.... Not at all to put down the OP, Im sure the gun shoots excellent.... Just the color scheme and the dimples on the barrel look awful IMO.

^^^ I agree the stainless doesn't go well with it. That being said I handled an SLR with the same barrel cerakoted back and the barrel did look really nice. Even with the dimples.

Seems like you just hating cuz you ain’t got one...

It looks awesome and NR status makes it even more awesome!

 

[Stubacca]

Im digging it.

Ive got the same hand guard in fde

 

[halv18]

That is absolutely beautiful. How much were you all in roughly (if you don’t mind me asking)?

 

[aum]

That is a beautiful build, congrats!

 

[Dr. Hunter]

You should put a red Odin works Zulu stock or a red buffer tube at least. If also put a red safety and mag catch. I'm a fan of two tone guns but not sure about this one but if your gonna do it go all out

for anybody who wants something similar here's a cost breakdown (before taxes). the blanks are the parts Brad shipped to us

maccabee receiver $999
18.5" dimpled S&J barrel 223 wylde ___
geissele trigger SSA-E ___
vortex strike eagle 1-6X scope ___
scope mount __
all other parts roughly $889
assembly, test fire $199

I personally love the colours. took it to the range to test fire and I heard the RO say holy sh** under his breath when I whipped it out. (He was even more impressed when he saw the gun, hiyoooo!)

Around $3500 total I believe.

Add a red safety for sure! It may or may not look even sharper with the barrel in black instead of stainless although it is very flashy with the stainless and red together

 

[HotSoup]

$3500 is basically what it costs to build one of these with optic.

 

[Sqr]

Now put 500 rounds through it and tell us how often the detent screw comes loose.

1000+ rounds through mine and it remains tight. Haven’t even touched it for cleaning.

 

[truemask]

I thought the same thing. Maybe a more muted/unsaturated red would be better.

 

[Chumlee Bumsnag]

I think a silver buffer tube would balance it out nicely.
And a silver trigger.

 

[buji88]

I think it's pretty funky! In a good way, Im basically getting ready to do a very similar thing to my Remington 700 with some flashy anodized parts where there can be. Great job!

 

[Beater]

Now put 500 rounds through it and tell us how often the detent screw comes loose.

900 plus through mine and no probs with the dreaded loose screw. I wonder if your maybe not tightening it up enough?

 

[rikkards]

Looks awsome! Let’s see a 100yard 5 shot pic.

Screw that, 200

Pretty much what my AR was except I can't take it anywhere but a range
