    Wink New 14.5 rifle build #2

    Well, with all this NFA crap going on, I going to assemble another 14.5 pinned and welded rifle... Found a locally made lower, never heard of them till I went to Downriver Guns. Price was bad.

    What 14.5 upper are you going with? I love my BCM 14.5 and it would be the last gun I ever get rid of.

    i ended up with a couple of these

    one of them did have a very tight fit on rear lug of upper so would recommend checking that before getting it all assembled
