We need to stop giving in to these infringements.  It's not the executive branch's role to make laws or judge how to apply laws which is what the ATF is doing, and we all know this is not about safety

I finally got around to building my Range Ghost Gun 

Its all together now I just need some camo on it ----- 

I used one of Moriarti Arms stripped uppers with a bunch of misc parts bought here and there.
It has an 18'' barrel 1.7 twist, 16.5'' Free Float handrail, 3'' inch muzzle break, 80% Poly Lower ( naked FDE lower ) and a  4lb Trigger
I had fun milling out the Lower it was my 1st attempt at something like this so I went Polymer. 
The included jig you get was ok and the bits and end mill were plenty sharp to remove the material.

I'm not sure yet what scope I want to use yet but would like to get something to make real long shots. 
I have cheapy Aim Sports 4x32 scope I may use for now 
I'm off tomorrow and was thinking about going to break it in at the Range

I have a Ruger AR-556 with the standard handguards. Are there frontgrips/foregrips that attach to this style of handguard or will the handguards need to be replaced first? Thanks for any help.

You'll need to replace the stock handguards first as they don't include any rails.

What to build next?
I built an AR15 lower with std rifle length Magpul stock, put a PSA upper on it, 18" 223 Wylde barrel free float, and Nikon 3-9 on top.  Fun to shoot.  Haven't played beyond 200 yds yet.  Already have a Ruger AR556 w std iron sights.  So I have another AR15 lower I'm working on, but not sure what to do with it.  223 pistol length?  Different caliber rifle like 300 blackout?  65 Grendel?  Maybe a pistol caliber carbine as a partner for some hand guns I have?  My wallet says build for a caliber I already have rather than stocking a new caliber, but I'm open for interesting suggestions.  Any ideas out there based on personal experience?
