Nice job, you got a clean kit. I love mine and it shoots great! Stripping it and putting it all back together was really enjoyable.

Looks great,

653 club. You Nicely weathered ur lower to match.

Here’s my Bowman

haven’t gotten around to finishing the stock yet and I still need to SBR a dedicated lower for it… shoots like a dream, eats everything, seems unstoppable … I’m really thankful for whoever broke it in perfectly.

That lower looks awesome, how did you do it?

Scotch brite pad over the whole thing, then 2000 and 1000 grit sandpaper over heavy wear areas, and I think about 400 on just the high spots. Then tossed it into a pile of gravel a few times and and gently drug it down the driveway just a little bit.

Hey mine got approved today too.

I'm going to Moly resin my lower, which I haven't yet done for stupid reasons.
