Shoot the MF'er. That and I bought the cheap Gen1 sights on eBay, so I would like to explore some better sights

What's left to be done?
The real MagPul BUIS are not 'airsoft' versions, but real. There was an article linked to (this year) where they did some drop tests with several BUIS that are available for the AR platform. The ONLY ones to not lose zero were the MagPul. All the rest were did not retain zero after a single drop. Probably looking at about $80-$90 for the set of MagPul BUIS (plus shipping)...
One more question. Tell me about greasing/oiling this pig. I have an NiB BCG. Thinking I'll take it out tomorrow
I got the gen 1, and they were like $37 for the set (came as a set, not purchase seperately. Good to know though
Finally getting a chance to fire this rifle tonight. Have not checked headspace or go/no go (I do not have the tools). This going to be an issue?
Have a lane reserved at MFL for 6pm....

I would always check headspace before firing anything. Unless you bought a complete upper from Windham, BCM, Palmetto, Stag, etc where they test it for you.
Big mistake not to check it IMHO. It takes 30 seconds to check it.
Even when I switch out BCG's, I re-check the headspace. Just to make sure that BCG is good, etc.
Too many things can happen when you build your own rifle. A set of headspace gauges should be in your toolbox. Or borrow them from someone.
Although I agree it is always best and safest to check, how many times have you found correctly assembled parts from reputable manufacturers that didn't pass a set of go no go gauges?

I block the vision of my non shooting eye with a little scotch tap on the lens. Aprox 1/3 of the top portion of the lens is covered which only really blocks my vision when mounting the gun. I cant close the oposite eye with out my aiming eye fatigueing quickly. Mold ear plugs are the way to go
First of all, a huge thank you to Adam at Acme Armament. He checked the head spacing, inspected my build & oiled it up properly.
He has the most epic beard as well.
Fired 150 rounds through it. While I don't believe it is dialed in, it shoots pretty fricken sweet at 50' (was at the firing line)
A couple of observations:
I hate my stock, just like Adam said I would.
Shooting with contact lenses and shooting glasses through right eye on iron sights does not work well with the hearing protection I use (muffs) and creates double vision
The Vortex red dot works well enough.
I hate my stock.
What do you hate about the stock?
