    Anniversary Build

    OK well I've done a few builds and the spousal unit has been bugging me to build her a rifle. So since I've finished my 308 build I've decided to start hers.

    Our 9th anniversary is in September so I thought I may be able to get it done by then. The plan was to do a his and her rifle so we each get a rifle out of the deal. And that they are pretty much identical. So I've been busy with work and house stuff so its been going slower than hoped. I've said in the beginning that if I couldn't finish it by the end of Sept then I'll just wait till next year.

    I think for a 10th anniversary gift it will be awesome. And since I will have more time means I can put a little more money into them. Well the only changes would be changing out the receiver sets from Noreen Firearms set to one of the Cross Machine Tool sets. And then do a more fancier paint job. I'm sure in that time new parts will become available and swap them out as well.

    I'll keep this updated as much as I can along the way.

    Awesome, FT! You know, the traditional tenth wedding anniversary gift is something with gas impingement, so you should be golden. Are they both going to be .308?

    No, going with a 5.56 light and compact duty style build for both.

    Well I have Noreen sets now. Since I've decided just to wait and not rush it, I'm going with CMT set. By the time I get barrels and handguards it'll be close to black Friday time. So if CMT has a decent sale then that's when I'll grab them.

    As far as barrels I'm going with a 16" & a 14.5" Faxon Gunner with FSB installed.

    Those Noreen Sets look pretty good. Especially for the price you can get them for.

    Yeah they are. When AIM first had them for $90 a set, I picked up two just for this project with the expectation on getting it done by this September. But since Centurion Arms doesn't have the part instock right now, I'm waiting. So September '18 will be the deadline come Hell or High Water, and decided to make sure they are one of a kind rifles.

    Ive always have liked the looks of the CMT receivers and Instagram makes me really want them.

    Now another question is what do I do with the Noreen billets?

    Well due to me getting a new to me upper and other parts out of the blue. Ive decided for now just to build her rifle and if time and money allows to build mine later.

    On another note I opened up the ol' email and saw that CMT is having a sale on the UHP-15 receiver sets. On top of that they are having a promo for 25% off everything.
