Anyone got any builds in the works?

Pretty much done with my 16" build:

PSA upper
PSA lower
PSA lower parts kit
PSA 16" barrel
Silencerco ASR brake
Midwest Industries 15" G3 M-LOK handguard
Midwest Industries low profile gas block
BCM BCG
AXTS Raptor charging handle
AXTS Talon ambi safety short/long
Geissele SD-E trigger
Magpul K2 plus grip
Magpul trigger guard
Magpul MOE SL stock
Magpul M-LOK handstop kit and 3 piece rail cover
Magpul pro BUIS
Noveske QD end plate
Milspec buffer tube
BCM H buffer and spring
Aimpoint T2 on Larue 660 mount
Surefire M600 Scout
Surefire dual pressure pad
Magpul M-LOK Scout offset mount

Waiting on two Form 1s to be approved, the above lower, and another complete BCM lower. Ultimate plan upon approval is to take the BCM lower and mate it to a 11.5" BCM upper with KMR handguard, and stick on a SiCo flash hider. Above-described lower will then go toward a 10.5" build if I can track down a Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II handguard. Assuming I can, then I will take the 16" upper and put it on a new stripped lower build. At that point the T2 will come off the 16" and go on the 10.5" build, I will put an EoTech EXPS 2 and 3x magnifier on the 11.5" build and eventually a 1-6x on the 16".

Also waiting on a Form 4 for a SiCo Hybrid.

This shite never ends. My wallet hates me.

Did an ultra lightweight build with only a couple of parts purchased for reasons other than weight, just put the finishing touches on it last night

Lower: Tennessee Arms Polymer Lower w/steel inserts; $42.99 5.6 ounces
Trigger: Geiselle SSA; $172, weight unknown
JP Capture Spring; $139.99, 7.2 ounces
V7 Buffer Tube; $48.50, 3.6 ounces
V7 Castle Nut End Plate combo; $43.65, 6.7 grams, 5.5 grams
V7 Hybrid Ambi Safety; $57.23, 9.7 grams
V7 Ultra Light Magazine Catch / FDE; $34.00, 4.9 grams
V7 Ultra-Light 8620 Alloy Bolt Catch Kit; $20.37, 9 grams
V7 Ultra-Light Take Down Pins; $27.28, 5 grams
V7 trigger/hammer pins; $17.00, 2.35 grams
BCM Keymod Short Vertical Grip; $39.95, 1.9 ounces
Magpul K Grip; $13.61, 2.4 ounces
Mission First Tactical Stock; $37.09, 5.8 ounces
BCM KMR Alpha 16in Enhanced Lightweight upper, fluted; $628.95, 3lbs inc/BCG-CH
BCM FDE BCG; $190
BCM Vltor Ambi Charging handle; $60.50,
Inforce WML; $126.00, 4 ounces
BCM FDE Nylon Keymod Rail; $7.44, weight unknown
Griffin Armament Minimilist Titanium Brake; $90.05, 1 ounce

Decided against using my Aimpoint, left it on my 300BLK SBR and put a Vortex Viper PST 1x4 in an Aero lightweight 30mm tube. Could have gone lighter with the BCG but I don't use anything but BCM BCGs. Could have gone lighter with the buffer tube instead of the capture spring but I am shooting suppressed, which worked out perfectly with the Griffin muzzle device needed for my Optimus. I went with the Alpha rail instead of the KMR because I was tired of waiting for it.

Slowly building my second. PSA lower with MFT stock (should come in today). Putting a complete BCM upper. Replace stock trigger with SSA-E eventually. Likely with an Aimpoint. Who knows when I'll finish.
