My brother-in-law's Christmas present this year

[skorpion]

My brother-in-law has been a huge help working on some stuff around my house for me, so I figured I'd reward him with a nice gift for Christmas this year. He does not own an AR15, and I want to change that, so I assembled a unique rifle for him. Due to the fact that he runs an insurance office, he is getting an insurance-themed rifle to match the company he is an agent of. Sorry for the poor photos - my wife has the camera somewhere.







I had fun with this build, and it turned out to be a really nice, lightweight rifle at 5.8 pounds. Here is the list of parts, if anyone is interested:

Man, I wish I had you as a brother-in-law. Not that mine is a bad guy, but he would never think to go to this length to show his appreciation for me. It is awesome that you did this. By the way, that rifle looks great.

How did you get the text on the dust guard?

[O.S.O.K.]

Well that's just cool all the way around.

Thanks, guys. My B-I-L has spent countless hours volunteering his time (for free) to paint and install lighting around my house over the past year. He sure deserves something like this!

Just recently got the chance to test-fire the Full Coverage Rifle - it ran without a hitch and it was a hoot to handle thanks to its nimble 5.8 pound weight. The funny thing is that both the elevation and windage were already dead-on on 50 yards - I've never had that happen before, especially with a rifle assembled from a hodge-podge of parts.

Very nice, and once again ... lucky Bro in Law.
