    My Green Monster

    I started this build nearly 3 years ago in my head. Finally got it all together!

            I really like it. Similar color scheme to what it did. I went with OD Green, and my barrel is green and my HG is black.
            Do you like the raptor CH? I may ask for one for father's day.

              I have not pulled the trigger yet. Ran out of time today. Hopefully it gets warm in a week or so and I can sneak away.

              The Raptor seems to pull really nice, very comfortable.

              Here's the specs on it:

              Surplus Arms lower
              Spike LPK w/o trigger
              Velocity 3lb drop-in rigger
              Satern 20" barrel
              Extreme Tri-Duty brake
              Bushmaster upper
              15" Slim KeyMod rail
              AXTS Raptor Charging handle
              Nickel Boron Carrier
              Ergo style, Panther Sniper Grip
              Ergo F93 Pro Stock
              American Defense QD 20 MOA scope mount
              Primary Arms 4-14x44 FFP

                Very nice. Looking forward to your range report. I just test-fired a forum member's upper with a Satern barrel that needed a little throat reaming, and it shot like this with 123gr AA Scenars:

                  If anyone showed me that color in the can , I would have laughed and said 'whatever...have at it' . . . . but it actually looks really good on your rifle.

                      Same here.LOL I saw the pic and I was thinking "whut?", but after a couple of seconds I started liking it. It looks even better the more that I look at it.

                        That color looks b.a. I just wish one could buy all the different components in the same colors, other than fde and od, so those of us who are unable to ceracote can color coordinate to our liking.

                          Yeah I hemmed and hawwed over the color for a while because the swatch on the cerakote website looks horrible, but I'd seen a small peice done in it in real life and fell in love. I got lucky and found a local guy that did all the green, the barrel and brake, and only charged me $130
