OldBob,
The Wilson GB may might have assembled but would not have had much clearance. I was able to find a handguard locally that will work very well (a supressor model), and if I need more stability on a rest, I can add an ARCA rail. Right now I have to get another barrel nut wrench so I can tighten things up and get it out for some function testing. I need to get an optic mount decided on and incoming. I will use one of my scopes from another rifle till the budget stops hemmoraging from the build and ordering supplies... factory loads arent cheap to get brass... but I saw it stated, you will likely spend as much on the components to load as factory... and if you cant get brass you are dead in the water. With factory... you have something to shoot and get brass.
