built by RWS and he did an amazing job. have around 2-250 rounds on it. I love it, and don't really want to sell it, just throwing this out there to see if anyone wants to spend the extra to save the ton of time it takes building one of these.

It shoots fgmm great. Slinging 178 eldx over varget @ 2590 currently.

very close to clone correct. the only things not "correct" are:

unmarked NV rail. repro from before LRI made them
the FH is marked with the surefire logo, not sterile like the issued rifles
the recoil lug isnt Ti
the scope base isnt Ti and is marked "xm-3" on the right and has the rifle S/N on the left. I know it's not clone correct, but I liked the idea of more SN marked parts.
the trigger is a tuned rem700, but not sure if the exact walker style as the issued rifles
the last 4 of the S/N on the bolt handle and bottom metal are laser engraved, not hand stamped
cerakote finish not whatever the originals were


everything else is correct:
SS receiver with a S/N in the range of the issued rifles
hard to find FH muzzle device for the FA762SS
XM-3 spec stock, lop spacers included
hart xm-3 barrel
NF logo low rings
turner sling
bipod
barrel hand stampings
box mag tac welded to receiver

smith work included:
chamber, receiver blueprint, clip slotting, barrel thread and profile for MD, markings, bedding action and NV rail, cerakote, bolt knob

scope not included, but could be negotiated. It’s not the correct milspec model.
**I will include a HUB mount for the muzzle device. It was a conversion I had done for a form1 suppressor. It fits the md perfectly, as can be seen by the fouling pattern on the md. All shots have been suppressed with no issues.


$8500 shipped and insured. Price is pretty firm, I'm in no hurry to sell it. "i know wut i got dammit!!"

will be editing the op with photos over the next few hours
