I just finished building three

1-pistol, from a frame

1-24” Stainless with free float tube

1-16” heavy



The 16” has gotten the most use

The 24 is heavy and good optics are expensive (hardly any recoil)

I use the 22 conversion in both the 16 and pistol (fun)

You get a few flies now and then but they both eat up the center of targets (or pop cans)

I have a completed lower that's been sitting in my safe for the last 6 months. I already have a 16" AR so now I'm thinking of going longer with a Dark Earth look. More of a target model that my daughter would enjoy shooting.

Went with Roggio for the lower receiver and ordered the unlabeled parts kit from blackthorneproducts, I've heard a lot of negative about them but the kit went together just fine.
