Very nice. You're gonna have some fun this weekend.

Do you have some iron sights or an optic for it?

Apparently my buffer tube doesn't operate correctly

Going to swap it out, although he said it will still cycle
Head space ok tho!

How can a buffer tube not operate correctly? It's just a tube.

Nice that you get a free function check with your headspace check.

It wasn't deep enough. The bolt kick wouldn't operate. Had I known more i could have tested it during install and saved myself 20 bucks. Nbd.

The kid was thorough that checked my rifle. I gave him some business advice and paid cash for the extra service.

That's weird, I've never heard of a buffer tube that was too short. There is carbine length and rifle length, but all of the same type should be the same length.

I just got home from the range. That was a ton of fun to shoot. there is a lot less recoil than other rifles I've shot. My wife enjoyed it as well, and since she only enjoys shooting rifles this should get us up to the range more often.

I need to pick up dedicated optics still, but everything else is ancillary.
thanks everyone who helped out with guidance and advice
