Did a lot of AK building until things went south so to speak with the barrel ban and then rising costs along with falling availability. I had really built all the rifles I was looking for anyway. This last year with its panic buying in AR land kept me from getting on board until the election madness slowed down. Finally picked up a DPMS lower with parts kit and six position stock in a package deal at my local dealer. Got that put together and then fell into another deal on a DPMS CMP/DCM 20" SS 1 in 8 twist barreled upper assembly so I now have a complete rifle. I have some factory ammo on hand and have loaded up some 69 grain Serria Match Kings to try out as well. So if it ever stops raining on weekends I will finally get to shoot my new toy. I hope to get involved in my loacal clubs DCM matches this next year after a bit of pratice and load testing this winter. I am also looking for a 5.45x39 upper to add to the mix too but thats another project for down the road. At any rate I am well on my way to yet another addiction. Just wanted to say hello and get back onto the list again as I am sure questions will come up as I start shooting.
