I blame you guys for this!

Wow! I just looked up fire cord. I hadn't heard of that before. Pretty cool!

I agree, I did have fun making this for sure. I wasn't sure about the fire cord but thought id order some just to try it out and I was impressed when I took it apart and played a little. The fire strand breaks into 4 smaller strands and catches a spark pretty easy. I had a piece about an inch long and it burned for a good minute before it went out so I don't think you'd need a ton of it to get some tinder going.

Ordered a 5.56 upper, hogue handguard, low pro gas block, 20 rd mag, 100 rds of ammo and a scope with rings all for, ironically, $556.

And new upper is complete (the bottom one). Sota arms barrel/receiver/bcg/charging handle, yhm low pro gas block, hogue handguard, ebay extended ch latch, utg 3-12x44 compact glass. Hopefully I'll get out and shoot it this weekend, heading a couple hours north to put a hole in a deer I hope.

Cool!
What is the top one?
Good luck with the deer.

Thanks! Top one is 6.8 spc. 18" palmetto state armory stainless barrel, psa receiver, stag bcg, generic no name hand guard, leapers 4-16x50? That one is for deer when I go out of the shotgun only zone. Too expensive to shoot in any volume, almost triple the cost of 5.56 ammo.

6.8 or a 6.5 is my next build. Got into 80% 1911 frames and got sidetracked from my last build....

Let me know how much work you have to put into that 80% 1911, Sewey.
