Just stumbled upon your video. I'm in the middle of a very similar build as yours. Coincidently even have the same amazon tool and harbor freight torque wrench. Anywho, had a couple questions for you. The barrel is already in the mail for me, but how has the YHM barrel/YHM upper receiver worked out for you so far? I'm also thinking about getting the MAKO stock, how has that been? Nice looking rifle!
@bfly48 The YHM 14.5" barrel & flash hider have been great. When combined with the Nikon scope, she easily tapes targets @ 600 yards w/o trying. She's a 1 MOA rifle and that's with low cost .223 ammo. Can't wait to try hand loads.
I like the MAKO butt stock but I'd probably do one of the magpuls. The MAKO I bought came with the check riser, which I took off because the scope sits so low I didn't need it.
@bfly48 The YHM diamond hand guard could / should mate better with the YHM upper. The both work and look great but the rails on the upper 12'oclock position don't line up as expected. So if I try to mount a picatinny accessory straddling the mating point, the picatinny rails are off of alignment. Minor irritation but it could be solved with minimal attention to detail by YHM.

Nice! Just wondering what does the third thing say by the selector switch after semi?

Where did you get your 45 degree angle for the red dot? And do you like it?

@josh11915yo The 45 degree offset adapter in these videos doesn't work well. It's the $25 job off of Amazon.com from a variety of manufactures.
The one I'm waiting on is the JP Enterprises 45 Degree Offset Adapter. It has a much lower rail on it, so the red dot clears the low sitting scope.

Where are the BUIS? It's not a SHTF/Zombie exterminator without them :). Quick detach scope mounts? Common, man! Nice gun brother.
