Yep, my order of groceries from Constructor came today. At least that was the charge on my CC statement.:rolleyes:

Before you start with; pictures, pictures, someone needs to let me know how to include them and then I will.

I took my walker (for real as I had a hip replacement done 3 weeks ago) to the post office to pick it up. It is less than a 1/4 mile to the PO and once I got it I tied it to the walker and had my dog help me bring it home.

A very nice white box with a wonderful piece of equipment in it, a 20 inch SAM-R upper. While it was a good looking piece it didn't really glow until I pulled my .223 upper off its lower and put H's masterpiece on it. Talk about looking RIGHT! I was trying to decide whether to put it on a lower with a collapsable stock or a standard A2. It definitely looks right on the A2 but I know it would look even better on a Magpul PRS or maybe a UBR.

In any case I want to find another lower so it will have its own dedicated lower and of course I will hopefully by then have decided what stock. I will get out and shoot it as soon as I can with the A2 stock but I am limited at this time on getting around. I am going to try to make a gun show this weekend and see if there is anything available at a proper price. For the ease of two pins I can use the .223 lower until prices are where they should be. I need to get a couple of rail risers for my 6.8s so I can mount the scopes properly so I will be looking for those also.

Once I get out to shoot it I will test different factory loads in a 16 inch SS 10 twist 6 grove vs this new 20 inch SS 12 twist 3 groove.

Equalizer, go to a freebie site like photobucket.com(easiest) establish an account and upload your pics from your desktop or where ever you have to photobucket. They have an upload button so its supper easy to do. After that go to the pic and the fourth option down you should see an link like this

Since you are a trooper and decided to go through the effort of checking the forums while in the Hospital right after hipe replacement, I figured I could take 20 minutes and put together a guide on how to post pictures. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Very Cool, I have the same thing being built as we speak (well traded really as I am swapping my 18 inch 1-11 for a 20-1-12 to better compliment the 16 inch MK68 I will have coming eventually, and of course post pics and let us know what you decide on the lower. I am also torn between using my PRS and jewell trigger lower with the 20 inch or my UBR with Timney trigger witht he 20 inch....

Thanks for the help guys, I will now try to post some of what I have. The pictures do not do justice to H's work.

Nice upper, but I think I like the Shepherd better!! I definitely want another GS dog.

I hope you have a speedy, pain free recovery.

Thanks Art, the recovery is going well, I have to watch myself so I don't do things to set me back.

As I said the pictures really don't do justice to the upper.

On the Shepard, he is a really good dog. I picked him up from a vet clinic where the original owner had taken him in to be put down. He had apparently been abused by kids and the guys wife (speculation) as he was growling at their kids (still does at kids and some women). He is protective of the wife and I when people come around but is not overly aggressive.

I like the GS. sharp looking dog.

Second, nice paint job, I always prefer the Do it yourself jobs to the "mossy oak" type patterns.

Thanks for the pics.
