OK, I built up a lower just for this upper. Since it was a rifle length gas tube barrel I used a rifle length A2 buffer tube and stock for it. The rifle weighs in at about 10.25 pounds without the magazine and ammo. The rifle is about 44 inches long as well. I already had all the lower parts and a lower on hand, but I didn't have a A2 stock though. I had them as spares, but what the heck, I might as well use them. I ran across an online store that still had some, so I ordered it. Before Christmas just about everyone was out of stock on a lot of stuff. I did think about the fancy Magpul and Lu'ther stocks but I don't think I really need one for this build. But I will keep it in mind though.
I am going to get a set of high scope rings and see how that feels to me too. But right now it has the medium height scope rings on it. it does seem to feel a little short, but I am not sure yet. I am also thinking about cutting off the sling loop on the rear sling mount and just keep the metal part as a nut for the rear buttpad screw. it sorta looks odd with one sling loop on it.
