CamoMike's WEVO 50k Barrel buiild

[Computalotapus]

Was a hard past couple of years for me. My mom passed after a 5 year struggle. Lost a lot of really good friends in a falling out(I'm better without them, they were users). Stress at work caused a doctor to tell me "Quit your job or die of a heart attack before 35, you choose" Being unemployed for 2 years brought on it's own kind of stresses. Thank god my wife brings in the money she does, she kept us afloat. With out her, I would have probably lost my mind too. Just got back to work about 2 months ago, and it feels really good. Really missed the social aspect of life. When I say it made my year, it honestly did. This was one of about 2-3 positive things that happened all around the same time. Building this rifle is gift to myself for pulling through, getting a job and getting back on my feet. So even though it's something as simple as a rifle barrel, it means a lot more than that to me. So in turn, thanks for welcoming me into the forums. This is a really great group of folks, and I appreciate the comradery.

Good on you brother for sticking to the grind and picking yourself up. Sorry to hear about your mom. Prayers go out to you and your family. I have been in shoes almost like yours. Slept in a car for over a year. Made huge sacrifices but I was determined to get myself on my own two feet. Just as things started looking up, I met my wife and it has been forward progress from there.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build.

That barrel is gorgeous. Wait until you shoot it...they are fantastic.

As long as I'm running the WEVO giveaways, he won't be winning anything....

I actually sent him a package, but you give him an inch, he wants a mile.

Sorry UW, I had too....LOL

That can go many ways......

LOL....

I worded that on purpose for mustang, took someone long enough to make a joke out of it!

Mike, glad to hear that this barrel picked you up from some rough years. Sorry to hear about your mom, health, and job, but it sounds like it's all worked out in the end as best as it could. Can't wait to see how this build turns out for you, and of course as promised, I'll mock up something for you this weekend with the VG6 comp.

Glad to have you on the forum.

Cheers, and thanks.


Payday today... took advantage of a couple of deals this afternoon. Snagged one of the Fortis keymod verts off Revolvr; grabbed a Tactical link EBAL and to bring another sponsor into the build I grabbed a PXT Adjustable gas block from Parallax tactical.

Having a hard time deciding between the VG6 Epsilon and the RAC... Both are sexy as hell, and look like decent performers.

You might want to consider SureFire's PROCOMP 5.56 at $59.95.

Both are solid performers. I give the ever slightest edge to the Epsilon.

I've got a AFAB mini on a 14.5" build which I like.

[camomike]

Gost, trying to keep my purchases in line with the sponsors of the give away. And both Rainier and VG6 make baddass comps in bead-blasted SS(color I'm planning to cap off with)

In other news, I got these from my FFL this afternoon



And the POF EFP trigger arrived in yesterdays mail...

Now to drop the receivers in the mail. Now I wait for the 4th of July to see if the stock, BCG, rail or sights I want go on sale

[UWone77]

I can't remember, are you getting the receivers coated in NiB by WMD guns or was that someone else?

Here's the pic I promised, sorry I didn't have time to swap out handguards to show more barrel, but it should give you a general idea of how the barrel will match with the Bead Blasted VG6 Epsilon.

[camomike]

Yeah, was me. No worries about the rail, I have a fairly good Idea of how it's going to turn out. I actually think that's the rail I'm grabbing too, just in 12".

Make sure you tell WMD that I inspired you to build that NiB coated receiver

[camomike]

Will do. Will it aid my turn around time?
Kidding of course.
You talking about running the torture test with yours what made me want to try it.

On a different note, Received the Parallax Tac Adjustable block today... Best part of the build is the anticipation of new parts for me.
