Not a bad area of Iowa. Waterloo can be a little rough around the edges, but CF is nice. Waverly to the north and a ways down the road is Iowa City.

Starmac, Says your location is fairbanks, is that fairbanks AK? If so dont you have a little wilderness area in your state of residence. Not saying a BWCA trip would be a bad idea, just sayin.

Ill give a vote for Sota Arms. They have all the parts to build one, or buy a complete upper from them. Reasonably priced and good service. If you order a gas tube it doesnt come with the roll pin (...
