Yeah, it was a little more expensive than I was planning on spending, but then, I didn't have to buy the freefloat rail I wanted because it was included, and it's seriously lighter than the other AR's I was looking at.
Next step, find a good quality G27 style grip and BUIS for it. I'm trying to remember if the sights I have on my airsoft AR's were milspec or not. I guess I can always throw them on and see if I lose zero after a few shots. I know one set isn't, but I have a few from actual firearms parts manufacturers that were designed for an actual AR, so we'll have to see. Thinking about Troy Industries tritium flip up sights.

Looks really nice. That's exactly the kind of FF tube I was looking for on mine. I was actually looking at the Midwest Industries version, but it's very similar.
Anyone have some advice on where to pick up some leather to do some sheath making? I've picked up a stick spacer, awl, needle and thread, but my local Hobby Lobby didn't have any veg tanned leather. They had scrap bags, but it all seemed to be somewhere in the 3-5oz range. It'll be the first time I attempt leatherwork since summer camp when I was a kid.

I missed this one somehow. Daniel Defense is supposed to be one of the better AR15's. You still going to build the one you have started? I just looked that model up and it looks pretty darn versatile. You will have to post up how you like it.

Nope, I'm sticking with the DD. I want a new pistol grip for it (like the G27 style ergo grips best, thinking maybe Mako group), and maybe a different stock. Maybe a Magpul PRS, or ideally, one of the adjustable full stocks like on the XM110. I can't find anything like that anywhere though, outside of airsoft parts
And of course, sights. Iron sights, clearly. Not sure what type of scope, if any, I want to use though.

Check out the magpul moe riflee buttstock. Its lighter weight than the prs and you can get different thickness recoil pads to adjust lop.

TBH, it's mainly for aesthetic reasons. I'm probably gonna keep searching for that XM110 stock. I mean, the MOE stock it came with seems to be just fine, all things considered.

If you like them a lot, talk to thorny or me. There is an outlet they use online.
Use a pillow. That is what I use when I need to bash my head.
It is indeed a GOOD place to start. Good place to end too. After them you probably won't need to go anywhere else.

BLT for 'brunch' today, it's okay though cause I used spinach instead of lettuce and wheat toast

Tandy's been around for like a million years.
They're the hobbiest source, and regularly have sales on tooling shoulders that are good for sheaths and holsters - lots of them. Their tools are a mixed bag. GOOD leather tools are spendy. Some are made in Maine...
Many of the pros order from Wicket & Craig, but I believe they're mostly sell just leather, no tools and accessories.

Yeah. I must have driven the wedge too far down or something because that crack sure as hell wasnt there before I hung it. Good news is that it only goes down 1/4 of an inch so maybe it wont spread. If it does Ill just get it welded back together.
