Forgot to mention, this gun is extremly light! Currently dont have a scale so I cant weigh it. Comparing it to my mini 14.

Decided I didnt like how the lower/stock is all one color. Decided to break it up a little. Had a can of "Plasti Dip" left over from other projects. Great stuff! I used this stuff on my steel wheels on my car over a year ago! So I know its durable stuff. The good thing about Plasti dip is you can peel it off like latex if you decide you dont like it. Also installed a Magpul FDE handguard and still awaiting on other goodies to come in!
Here's my Wednsday night project...

Don't get me wrong, that definitely looks better but...

Is that lower all one piece? The grip looks like it was cast into the receiver to start with!

Yup. The lower is made by Cav Arms. Stock/lower receiver/grip is all one piece and super light!

Too cool. I had the opportunity of fondling a new Stag Arms at NW Sporting goods...

Even with the aluminum receiver, it still couldn't have weighed any more than 4lbs. I forgot the actual model, but it was freaking LIGHT!

Some more goodies and painted the grip since the grip tape didnt work out as planned.
