So, I came across a deal too good to pass up & decided to take my own advice. Here it is -


This is my new matching, forged, Olympic Arms Upper & Lower. Unbelievable price, considering even finding stripped parts is getting harder and harder with the election looming.
So, the journey to build this into a tack driver starts here. I am going to try and keep a running record of the parts I buy, because I am doing this one piece meal, and will post as I go along for all to see.
I have not decided on a caliber yet - WHAT? Yes, I know. But, I have a couple of ideas, and Brett ( my 'Smith ) has a couple of tricks up his sleeve, so we might be doing something a little fancy with this one.
My goal is, with quality ammo and some good optics, to build a weapon that will consistantly hit with accuracy and power out to 500 or 600 yards - not an easy feat, but not impossible either. After all, if those Zombies start coming around, I don't want them getting too close to the house, they might mess up my generator.
So far, I have "reserved" cash out of the upcoming check for the following parts:
YHM Easy Take Down Pins
YHM Rifle Fore End
YHM-9627 – Front & YHM-9680-A1 - Rear
I don't ever intend on needing the flip up sights, but as the old military motto goes "One is None" - This weapon will feature a very good scope for it's primary sight system, but in case the worst case scenario occurs, you need to have a back up.
It's a start. I still need to decide on a caliber, a barrel maker and all the hardware to go with it, but so far, as this deal just fell into my lap, I am quite happy.
