    Default My new 68 frankengun

    I have been wanting a 6.8 for a while now. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I am happy with this rifle, as it is my first ever build. It is a Para USA lower that I acquired in an even trade for 28 AR mags. The upper is a Bushmaster 16" M4 Govt. profile flat top that I got for an even trade for a taser x26.. It has a CMMG lpk (partial trade + cash for handheld ham radio), the old buffer and spring from my RRA SBR, and will be sporting an extra Nikon 3-9x40 Pro Staff scope I have lying around. I got $75 for the ham radio on top of the parts -$12 for the shipping of the taser in the trade. So, I am at a net +$63 for this rifle. When I got the upper, the gas tube was in backwards and upside down. I fixed that and lined up the barrel nut a little better. This rifle runs like a Rolex now. I will use this at the lease to hunt hogs and deer.

    IT'S ALIVE!!!!!! Nice truck gun should be a blaster.
    Next time you go to the range make some money. Just catch or retrieve your 6.8 brass and sell it.

    Truck guns are a good thing...dead hogs are even better.

    I call mine a "Bastard 15" because no two parts came from the same manufacturer.

    I can relate. Mine =
    - BushMaster barrel
    - BushMaster BCG
    - CMT upper
    - Stag lower
    - Daniel Defense forend grip
    - Hogue grip
    - Smith Vortex flash protector
    - Chip McCormick trigger
    - Enidine buffer
    - Bravo Company charging handle, bolt upgrade and attach points
    - MI attach points
    - LMT SopMod stock
    - FAB magwell grip
    - Magpul trigger guard
    - Burris P.E.P.R. scope mount
    - Leupold scope
    - SavvySniper sling
    - Tachyon camera and mount
    - Reamed the chamber to spec II and added feed ramps

    Works for me, having someone else build it wouldn't have been near as satisfying.
