Project Eva
Project Eva. Eva as kind of a shorthand for Evolution, as in WeaponEvolution
This is going to be a WEVO/Rainier theme build with a primary focus on... making me happy. Most of the time I take my builds very seriously, scrutinizing every detail and usually with a very specific focus. With Eva, the parameters are mostly based around the scope I'll be using (a Trijicon Accupower 1-4x), reliability... and aesthetics.
Basically I want a solid GP rifle that's as fun to look at as it is to shoot. It's also going to be filling a hole in my stable. Currently I have a 17.3" barreled rifle running adjustable/rifle gas, with a lightweight BCG and reduced power buffer spring. Pretty awesome, but I want something a little less experimental as my primary go-to. There's also my wife's rifle (the Wifle), and it's a 14.5" lightweight build using full weight internals, but it doesn't count for me because it's hers.
I owe both GOST and UWone77 a huge thanks, GOST for providing me with the artwork and vector files for the laser work, and UWone77 for permission to use the WEVO logo.
As you can see... awesomeness has happened.
Thus far for parts I have the engraved Rainier lower, the Bootleg upper, a PWS 16" barrel, Geissele SD-E, and a Micor 1/8 twist flash suppressor.
The rest of the parts will be....
- BCM KMR Alpha 15", I've got a nice coupon from BCM from when they bought back my damaged KMR, and I think it'll blend nicely with the bootleg upper.
- PWS Gen. 2 Buffer tube and ratchet lock end-plate, yeah, it's lighter, but mostly I want it for looks.
- BCG... Probably a Rainier NiB Match Grade, but maybe a WEVO marked Fathom if I feel like waiting. Also slightly considering a PWS carrier and LMT E-Bolt.
- Charging handle... I'm thinking a Rainier Avalanche, black with NiB knurled handles would look pretty sick. Maybe another Raptor, maybe a Geissele... probably the Avalanche.
- Forward Controls ABC/R and redi-catch combo, probably their mag release button as well.
- Either a BCM forged safety or perhaps B.A.D.'s new lightweight because it looks cool and I like their selectors I've already got. Debating a Rainier selector, but they're always out of stock and I'm not sure I want a 45 degree throw.
- Gas block might be a 2A Ti gas block, but Duffy now put me in limbo when he mentioned Forward Controls was working on a gas block....
- Furniture will be BCM's Gunfighter stock, and a Stark Equipment grip.
- Irons will be Rainier's, and I'll be using a Blitzkrieg FSP.
All in all, she should be pretty B.A.-One Nation, Under God

That graphic is amazing. This will be a nice build. Who did the laser work?

The laser work was done by Ident Marking in Rockwall, TX. They were awesome to work with and did amazing work. Was only $105.00 and they didn't charge me a transfer fee.

Here's a couple more shots of the graphic.

I am diggin' that one, Aragorn! Nicely done!
Are we still on track for a gb receiver set this fall/winter? Would love to see some enthusiasm for a heavy set. I want to do an AR 10 build when it gets more toward the end of the year.There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!

While the logo isn't really my thing it is very nicely done by GOST and Ident. Glad to see it comes to life. Very nice! Ready to see the entire build

Looks a beauty! Sounds like you'll have a nice build on your hands when complete. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Good job with the lower.
The upper is hideous.

A PWS barrel in a WEVO/Rainier themed rifle Rainier makes some seriously accurate shootin' tubes
I love the lower...and hold out further design opinions til I see the finished product.

Alright.... It's a build with an engraved WEVO lower from Rainier, that will also likely have other Rainier parts, as well as parts from other manufacturers.
I like the looks of the components and am expecting good performance, and it makes me happy. Which, REALLY, that's the true theme for this.-One Nation, Under God

Got a SI Ultimate Dust Cover. I really like it, but turns out it won't find a home on my Bootleg upper. Doesn't seem to seal well, even with the detent tightened way up. Also doesn't open fully. It'll clear the port plenty, but then stops before actually impacting the lower just due to where material meets on the Bootleg and SI UDC.

That dust cover looks good. Send it to me, I'll use it!
Good-looking stick so far.There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!
