Well, that was rather annoying. I tried to post two pictures and had a power failure when I went to preview. Lots internet but laptop has battery. I deleted one picture because I wanted to replace it, but from preview I could not upload the second picture. So my only option is to post, and then edit. But I can't edit because my post requires moderator approval :(

It is cool but also means my gun budget is shot for the next 10 years :D

Hello Friends.

As I write in my last post,CK come over around 12:30 PM and he bring the barrel ,gas block and gas tube for me.Both of us work's on my AR and finally my AR is complete.

I like to share all the pictures with all of you so you guy's can see how I installed the barrel, gas tube, forend and flash hider.

Here is my half complete AR with barrel and forend.
Image

Image

CK looking all the parts.
Image

On my working table.
Image

Image

I have to use upper vise block so I can work on my AR.
Image

Image

Before I installed the barrel I make sure I clean the barrel really good.
Image

After I clean the barrel you guy's can see how shine the chember.
Image

Image

Here when I installed the barrel.
Image

Image

After I mount the barrel,I put barrel nut.
Image

Image

After I tight the barrel nut I have to use torque wrench to make sure I match the requirement for barrel nut.
Image

Image

As you guy's can see barrel nut in place.
Image

After I tight nut with torque wrench, my next step is installed gas tube and gas block on the barrel.
Image

Image

After all of this my next step is installed the forend.
Image

Image

Image

Image

After I installed the forend my next step is installing the flash hider.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

finally nose cone.
Image

Here in this pictures I check head space.
Image

After just over two long hours finally it's done.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Guy's tomorrow we have a plan for the range so we can put test fire on my AR and also I am going to try CK's new toy as well.

Enjoy
Baljit

Baljit, that's a great job man. One hell of a rifle :mrgreen: Congrats

I fell in love with this grip ever since I handled a H&K PSG1 sniper rifle at an army facility.
When I saw the same on your new AR I was thrilled.

CK Da, you must be having a gala time. Will wait for the pics

:cheers:

Baljit,
Did you change your mind on the barrel? That profile looks different from the initial drawing that you posted.

Baljit,

Excellent photo essay on the topic,Baljit. We learnt a few things here. Look forward to the range report. Are you getting Kalyan gorged on venison kababs,sausages and pickle?


Best-
