Grasoga, I started out with a presale CNC Warrior Receiver and a Blackthorn ARM parts kit. I replaced the barrel, gasblock and mag release lever with original IMI parts.
I sourced a brand new unissued wood handguard and a folding stock in perfect condition. I installed a new set of front and rear night sights. As well as all the bits to keep 922R compliant. So after all is said and done, Including labor and shipping I figure I have sunk about an easy $2500.00 into this project. Im sure this all could have been done a lot cheaper but I tend to get way carried away when it comes to firearms. Im not worried about ever getting my money back as I will never sell this rifle. I seem to have develpoed a strange affection for this rifle and I havent even seen it yet. I have other real nice weapons including an IMI .308 ARM in pristine condition but this one is mine. It will be shipped today so wont be long now.

I have about 2K in my ARM (Jeff built). Prices were a bit cheaper then. Like you, I'll never sell. You will simply love it. I'd take mine to bed but the wife said if I did, she was out of here.:goofygrin
Got it back yesterday! I believe Tenngalil outdid himself on this one. It is pure artistry, I have an IMI .308 ARM in pristine condition. This one outshines it easily. It is absolutely beautiful, Thanks Jeff you da man!!! Pictures comming soon.

Here u are: First is ARM Jeff built on a "good" ORF receiver. ARM kit from Blackthorne, forend stock from Silver Crescent, fingered tactical grip, etc. It's a very very good shooter and just as accurate as my IMI. Had it for about 4 years now. Truly enjoy shooting this one. Second is a micro half and half; ORF micro receiver (another good one), Blackthorne micro kit with railed gas tube. Jeff added the left hand bolt handle, phony silencer, rail on the bolt cover, etc. etc. It's another nice shooter. I have another receiver that I'm Contemplating going the SBR route as I have the stuff but reluctant to do so since I'd have to go the NFA route with paperwork, taxes, stamps and all that comes with it. The govt knows too much about each of us as it is. But enough about that. Get off my :soapbox :bigfart

Took me a while to figure out how to get these pics uploaded. Thanks Lou. I thought I would show it along side of my 323 for comparison. Wish I could take better pictures but I suck at photography. Any how I got it out in the boonies this weekend and got it smoking hot, it ran like a champ. I would like to thank all the members here who helped me get this build together (you know who you are). If not for this site and all the excellent information from all these experts here I would never have even attempted this. But most of all I gotta give all the credit to Mr.Tenngalil. Thanks so much Jeff.

Ericzs1, totally awesome rifles! You must be a proud S.O.B. with a grin from ear to ear! Jeff never lets you down, Congrats!
BTW, you could have had Jeff ship the rifle to me so I could take the pictures and post them for you. I would also tell you how they shoot :goofygrin
