Well, after a 3 month wait (build and test time), I've finally joined the world of the Sport Utility Rifle :D

It was built by Defensive Edge (SLR15.com). I haven't had a chance to get her to the range since the weather has been so crappy lately here in Southern Wisconsin. Maybe this coming weekend. I've got 400 rounds burning a hole in my pocket. Even the wife wants to go out and shoot it and she has no shooting experience at all. Maybe I can talk her into getting an AK next :D
Does anyone have any advice for some cheap plinking ammo? I know cabelas has 1000 round boxes of .223, but I heard there was a 23-24 week leadtime for the stuff. The rifle is chambered for 5.56 so I can shoot either .223 or 5.56.

... It's not a real gun unless it has wood on it. :p

I am not really big into ARs, have owned one before Cali banned them.
Fun guns to shoot.
So, how much real difference is there between a hand built one and say one you get from Bushmaster or DPMS?
What do they do to them to tune them?

Pretty Sharp. I plan on building one eventually, Although I'm not sure if I like the longer barrel. Although before I build one I might go CETME, they are cheaper to buy and can can be built with all the fancy rails and such. And more mmph than the 5.56.

I'm not sure the actual procedure they use to tune the guns. I know it goes through a barrel break in procedure and a harmonics test and then zeroed for 50 yards. Basically it shoots ±2" from the aimpoint out to 250 meters. The barrel is a 1/9 twist with free float, YHM handguards.
I was considering for a while going with the 6.5 grendel or the 6.8, but decided to stay with the 5.56 as a starting point.
I have yet to get it to the range, but I'm thinking its going to be more accurate than me. At least for a while :D

Cool.
I always wanted to build one, but California sucking giant goat nuts put an end to that.
I know all my rifles are more accurate then I am ;)
