        Thanks. i am trying to find some time to get it to a range, that will tell the tale. It don't mater how it looks if it don't work, hoping for the best. I am not worried about the barrel but the build is all an experiment on my part.

          Muhahahaa. It's alive!!! Took it to the range today and it didn't blow up in my face. I started with the GB closed it didn't lock back so I opened it up one full turn and it stayed back so I closed it down to 1/4 turn and it didn't lock so just a half turn open and it ran great with Hornady 123sst and Wolf 100. I can't say where the brass landed as they use a screen to block flying brass. It did dent the necks upon hitting the deflector just like some say is normal. I already posted my best groups on the other build thread but here they are. The first is Wolf 100 and second is 123SST both 5 shots at 50yds, dumb range has 16"+ rule for the 100yd range. I will find a place to shoot at 100 or 200 and dial in the final scope settings. The SST group would have been superb if i hadn't pulled the one shot high. I didn't get to rapid fire(range rule) but a nice steady pace gave good results with both ammo. I will shoot better next time since I won't be flustered by the whole AR thing and not knowing if it would even cycle.

            Just scored a great deal on a scope. Regularly $329.99 got it for $275.65 they must have only had one. This will go on my howa and the 3x9 Nikon will go this build.
