A great company to deal with, they have gone out of their way for me for years. Quality componates at some of the best prices I have found. They stand behind all of their products 100%.

Heck no, they are in Auburn. Open 10am-7pm, they do nothing but AR's. They will have a assortment of uppers our they will put a upper together in any configuration you like. Their web site is kept up to date on components they have on hand. You can surf the barrels, hand guards, rails, upper receivers etc and have them put together whatever you want. I just purchase what I like and assemble it myself. Those guys would be more than happy to walk you through it in the store.

Rainier Arms in Auburn is the go to place for all your AR needs. They have a great staff and carry quality stuff. West Coast Armory in Bellevue is pretty good too.

Well done! I've purchased a bunch of AR parts through them and they are great to deal with. This last summer I picked up one of their billet uppers for a 6.5 Grendel barrel I had and I love it. You don't have to torque the barrel to exact spec. Snug it up in the vise and then rotate the barrel nut to the next hole so as the gas tube will fit center and freely. Glad to hear they hooked you up! Great looking build and a top notch barrel.
I have a black CAA G27 grip that would look tough on that set up. It's your if you want it, it's been laying around on the bench for a year or so now. Just PM me your address if you want it and I'll send it your way.

Is that a Rainier XTC screwed on the end? They work great and surprising enough, they aren't that loud.

I know what you mean, when it comes to the black crush watainan and stainless set ups I have used either stainless peel washer to shim it , so it indexes correctly or I have even used a stainless lock washer, with the slit portion of the washer facing down. You have to have something in there to index the XTC off of and also keep tension on it. You can also clen that lock washer up real well, degrease it. Heat it to about 200 degrees or so in the oven, then spray it with flat aluminum Krylon. Let it cool and put it on. If your going to go this route. Don't really crank the XTC down, index it with the min amount of pressure. Touch it up when needed if its ever needed.
