6.5 Creedmoore Build
So, here's a little update.....
I finally got the parts and the lower machined. It's now complete. I'm waiting on the parts for the upper, and stocks are ordered. (I put the composite one's on for now)
This one will be named "Darth Maul" (when it's complete, you'll understand why)  :rotflmao:

Re: 6.5 Creedmoore Build
Sweet H.D.  question have you bought the mag's yet? if so how many rds will it hold,I'm not thrilled with what I have (10 rds) just curious as your project is coming to life nicely.

Futher the 5 and 10rd mags are useful for bench shooting buts thats all as far as my needs go,I just like pulling the trigger alot....20 and 30 rds mags here.

Re: 6.5 Creedmoore Build
They used to have a store up near Menards in Baxter. That must be the one that closed. I had no choice but to fork over the 40 bucks. I think I only have 3-4 shells left.
