WOW very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks great
Glad you took my advice on some of your part selections! Looks solid for sure!
That really looks sharp. The contrast from the armor black and stainless steel is awesome.
Curious about it not being drop-in fit with the chassis. Hope you give XLR some feedback regarding that situation.
Definitely hope as well it shoots as well as it looks. It is really stellar looking.
First issue was the rifle basix trigger was hitting the front of the trigger opening...the other issue was the tang was not floated....its all fixed as of 630 this evening.
I spoke with Nick at XLR this afternoon for about 15mins and they want pictures before and after as well as aproximitly how much material was removed to correct those issues...he wanted me to send it back but that wasnt happening after almost 4mos of waiting on this build lol.

The gen 2 is Fn awesome...the EBR-C2 is fantastic....functional but not overly cludered or distracting...ill have no problem getting use to it.
Told you that'd be your instantaneous consensus lol.
Thanks guys!
