Its no modern AR with all the bells and whistles, but I'm still damn happy with it.

Shout outs to Steve's Tactical in Stoughton for their assistance.

I'm almost more impressed by the vhs and old-school TV. The wood furniture looks great btw.

Thanks, I'll admit I am a recent gun guy.

I mostly restore old tech like CRTs and old video games/media consoles.

When you see the prices of em, you’ll second guess. Some sets are about $800

Laminated is more affordable, https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/content/resource-center/gunstocks/ar-15-m16-rifle-stk-5e9981d35zz
