Well it seems you are never done with an AR. This is the 223 I changed to a Grendel a few weeks back. I just put on a different handguard and lapped the upper receiver while I had it apart. I should have bedded the barrel but this isnt the upper the barrel is going to be with for now on so I didnt do it. Still have to strip the paint off the stock, swapped for it and my buddy had already painted it, and this is only a temporary lower but hey, itll shoot, kinda.
