the LNIB upper saved my build costs! Im very excited, I love new stuff, but new rifles, oh yeah!  Plus this is new to me, my first evil black rifle, and in a wicked caliber to boot! I have a headache from all the internet reading/research Ive done thus far though.

I received my upper yesterday and picked up my stripped lower today. Put it all together tonight. I'm just waiting for my stock to arrive and it will be done. Can't wait.

Grundy

Awesome looking rifle make sure to give a report when you get a chance to shoot it.  I have heard some good thing with the .450 and plan on picking one up in the near future.  What stock you putting on it?

Will do. I'm putting on an A2 stock. Might put on a skeleton stock later to save weight. I haven't decided yet.

Is the upper pretty heavy compared to a standard 16" 223?  Where did you pick the upper at or did you put it together?

It doesn't feel much different. I got it from www.ammunitiontogo.com/ . They are out of Texas. They were about the only ones that had one in stock.
