Rifle assembled :usa:
Only had a few glitches. The safety seems a little easy for my taste, not as firm a click as I'm used to. I plan on changing it out for one of those short throw versions so I hope that will feel better. The green grip would not fit, the lug on the Spikes lower was just to big so I put the black one that came in the parts kit on, no big deal as I plan on switching out both stock and grip.
Here is what she looks like now;
Now for the real bummer, the rail on the upper doesn't line up. It isn't off by much but the first time I shouldered the rifle it stuck right out at me
I couldn't get a good picture but it does show a bit even with the poor focus. I don't have a straight edge here but but I'll bring my 4ft level home with me on monday and see how much it's off. Guess I'll find out what ArmaLite has to say about it sometime this week. Hate the idea of shipping it back but I'm thinking the back-up irons won't work real well this way. That and over $600 for an upper I expect it right.
