Never heard of nemo

Nemo is small.

Me neither

Yea doesn't come with gas block. But better known than Nemo

Or this one. Shoots both 5.56 and .223 pressure loads, while still having the quality accuracy that normal 5.56 barrels lack

I haven't seen a barrel that comes with a gas block

There's lots that do. But usually at a higher price. Unless it's BCA

I can go with that 165....the other breaks the bank.

That 165 actually saves me money to put into other areas

Yep, while still having a quality barrel

So I did the maths

123 to play with now which is good.

Some of it can't go into guns

From what I hear Nemo is a high end company, but then SoLGW is definitely top tier.

So my brother wants to split the cost of a jig and router and have me do some 80%s

Sounds like a plan

So I might be looking into a build shortly

Go with 5D

5D jig?

Very simple jig to use from all the videos I've been watching

It's pricey tho

How pricey

The pro jig, with endmill for the router I'm buying, $280

Ouch

🧐

Yep ouch. But watch the videos for it before you're put off by it

But it comes with the bit

So...I'm gonna start looking at optics that are low price.....any ideals where I should start? Not necessarily for this paycheck but maybe the next.

Def want a good quality bit

I had to add the readymill bit to the purchase

The readymill is said to last 30-50 lowers before needing the bit piece replaced. Of course that's if you're babying the bit

Yeah I would baby the shit out of it

Then it'll last awhile. The readymill set is only $45
