Looks great.
I just put a MBT in my Lilja 318 Grendel as well. Couldn't pass up that last sale for $99.95 with the jig.
If you install the Magpul MOE trigger guard, it will be a lot more comfortable for her. The standard trigger guard hurts if you bear weight on the grip/trigger guard junction.

Thank you for the tip. I will keep that in mind.

Your wife is a lucky gal I'd say
Hope you two enjoy the build.

Great looking build!! Perfect setup as well. Light, low recoil, easy scope to point.. please keep us posted with how it shoots

This is a ten shot group at 50 yards while I was adjusting the gas block. I guess there is no need to worry about breaking it down and bedding the barrel. I shot 2 rounds at 100 yards and created one near perfect hole. Needless to say I am jealous of my wife and her new toy!

Nice set-up, happy wife happy life.

Hmm. Didn't he just say "...while I was adjusting the gas block..." and "... I shot 2 rounds at 100 yards ..." ?
Are we even sure you are married, redomen?
I think it a proper point of order that we see a photo of your wife shooting "her" new rifle. Whaddya say, Horde?

Sounds like the time I bought my wife a new truck. One of those F150 raptors. It turned out that she didn't like driving a big truck. I got stuck with the truck and she had to drive my old car. Very sad.

HaHa! I might throw in a pic if the hogs show up this weekend and she bags her one!
