If you have any soldering skills (even if you dont) this is a fun and relatively easy project, and you end up with a dope bluetooth speaker.

I made a coat rack for my sister for christmas...

I just used some nice wood from home depot and sanded it down with a palm sander, then I cut the edges down with a router and stained it, and put some boat cleats on for the hooks, it looked almost exactly like this but longer

ehhh id say after optics and mags, and trying a few different foregrips right around the 750-800 mark.

Could have gone way cheaper, but I wanted magpul ODG furniture, nice stock, BUIS, scope, freefloat handguard and nice barrel.

Worth it.

I just really want a glock now, its and addictive thang!
