Rimfire Madness at Riley CC is done for the season. My times were slower on some stages then before, but I am almost certain i used half the ammo i have used previously.

Sounds like an outdoorsman's utopia.
And the rifle sounds like it's gonna be a quarter-mile tack driver and a 3/4 mile killer! I dig it.

Going to be picking up some more parts for the AR build this week. Hoping to get my .223 bolt gun sold soon.

Well just ordered my free float hand guard. I did find one that rails can be added to that I really liked for a reasonable price. Went with a 15" from ATI.

It had better be nice for the price of those things. The free float tube I'm planning on using with my hunting build is wicked cheap by comparison. I'm looking at a M1S tube. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/22...uard-fluted-ar-15-rifle-length-aluminum-black
For rail options, I should re-consider. I don't prefer to use weaver mounted bipods, so I had picked out a swivel stud for that tube. If I can find a smooth, round tube with one rail on top, that would be ideal. I really, really don't want to have a weaver mount bipod.

I actually picked up the guard and barrel nut for $89. Has options to mount rails at 8 positions at 45 degree angles anywhere up and down the rail. After talking to a buddy I decided I wanted something I could mount rails on incase things changed in the future. You can add the rails at a later time and they do offer sling swivel studs that thread in. The 15" rail section is like $23 and thr swivel stud is around $7

After I looked on ATI's website for prices, I went over to Amazon and saw much better prices. It's actually quite a bit more enticing from that standpoint. I'm still not sure that I want that particular style of rail though. Idk. I've got time to worry about it, I don't even have the lower for that build. And being able to add a swivel stud is a good selling point...
We'll see.

Not sure what they are going for on Amazon but I ordered mine through opticsplanet.com, like I said it was $89 with free shipping (http://www.opticsplanet.com/ati-ar-15-8-sided-15in-free-float-forend-slotted-barrel-nut.html). I thought it was a pretty good deal and was drastically cheaper than any other guard that length with the same options. I was originally looking at a 12" dpms free float for $59. Was very similar to the one you are looking at. I was kind of unsure about the solid tube as I was afraid it would hold heat and not let the barrel cool sufficiently. Maybe I was over thinking it though.
On another note, should have my rifle sold tomorrow so should be able to pick up the rest of the parts to finish my build. Getting stoked!

Which model of the Judge and what method of carry?
Two buddies and I went up north last weekend with a bunch of guns. I fell in love with a 9mm 4.5" barreled ar and already have a barrel and the magazine setup ordered. He is modifying uzi mags since they are $9 and worked great. All together we shot about 1000 9mm and 1000 .223. Then I found a bottle of jameson and drank myself stupid.

Well I will have a functioning rifle no later than Friday. Will have a mounted but unused(but mounted) railed clamp on gas block for sale and the standard hand guard with barrel nut and delta ring assembly.

Is that railed gas block steel or aluminum? I might be interested in it.

2.5" chamber, 4" barrel, open carry.

If by open you mean on the hip...
Well, doing a little research doesn't seem to yield much in the 4" bbl variety. Unless you want a Fobus holster with an open bottom.
Personally, I would prefer good leather over anything polymer or nylon. Unless your open carry would be for hunting... If it were for hunting, I would recommend a nylon rig.
If you're talking about a shoulder rig, go to your closest store and try on different brands to see which is most comfortable for you. After comfort you'll have leather and nylon to choose from.
I know I didn't really narrow it down much for you, but hopefully it's food for thought at the very least.

Managed to get to the bench today and work on some gun stuff.
When I originally assembled my AR upper, I had incorrectly installed the ejection port cover pin. I'll tell you, it's a pain to change that thing after the upper is fully assembled. I managed to get the clip out without losing it, swapped my stuff around and lost the clip when I snapped it around the pin and didn't hit the groove. Bummer.
I also managed to get the set screw into my lower receiver for the trigger mod. I would guess that I took out about 75% of the take-up. It. Feels. AWESOME! Between the lack of take-up, the good polishing and the JP 4.5# springs, I'm smitten!
While I was at the bench and things were going well, I grabbed Meganne's youngest brother's Savage Axis .308 and tinkered with it a little. He's been having issues sighting it in, so I loc-tite'd all the scope ring bolts and action screws. While the action screws were out I did a little trigger work to reduce the pull weight. Lastly, I laser bore-sighted it in. Hopefully, all things considered, he finds it to be shooting better.

Gas block is Aluminium. If you're interested feel free to PM me with an offer. Looks like they go for $30 and up.
