i did have a set of Troy Micro Battle sights,but would be no use with the EXPS3 as to low,so found a set of these Troy full height battle sights which should give me a lower 1/3rd co-witness

I did the same with mine soon as it arrived.
Looking very good so far.
I'm looking forward to seeing the completed build there Keith.
I myself now have just a couple of little things left to "acquire" such as forward sling loop in FDE and maybe one small add on in FDE if I can get hold of it.
Both yours and my build are almost like some Arthurian quest for the mythical grail.

Your quests are nearing the castle keep, just a few minor dragons to slay....I have yet to even meet the 'story driving old bearded geezer with his cryptic message and pint sized side-kick', let alone cross triggers with the nefarious armies of the evil forces (lets call them customs). I have a longggggggggggg way to go. lol still waiting to hear on a pre-bent magpul BAD lever, should be soon though.
I Love the overpackaged sling mount, reminds me of opening a box of chocolates in japan.
Well done guys....but I think we all know this is not the end..................two sequels and three prequels are still to be undertaken. The quest never truly ends
for now though bask in the glory

I am yet to beat the Black Knight and the extremely tough knights that say "NII".
I have fought and conquered the beast of the cave and survived the flight of the African and European swallows coconut journey.
Now to just get that damnable final bit!! Lol.
Barman! I'll have a pint of whatever they're drinking! 
Magpul BAD lever turned up from Bravotac last Friday....
One small correction required - basically you just have to straighten the lever and it'll fit - I heated up the point of bend with a plumbers torch and gently eased it round (anodising didn't crack thankfully).
It's not too onerous and is a lot easier if you apply heat - if you can't get a pre-bent one then give it a go or hold on as I was told that Phase 5 Tactical might be doing a 15-22 variant of their cool lever....

Really I love the look of the phase 5 tactical lever, it is very stylish....I like the tacticrayola job on the lever
Where did you here such a tale....did you have to present a good shrubbery?No, the gents at Phase 5 sent word via their most trustworthy carrier pigeon, George W, a few weeks ago.....
2 days after I ordered the Magpul!
It's a possibility but not yet in the pipeline - however, having looked at a .308 lever the fancy bit is only spot welded onto the rocker gubbins inside. If you had the wherewithal and say, a slitting saw, one could machine this bit off and re-attach to the Smith bit. A bit of a labour of love but if you really like it it might be worth just ordering one and giving it a go....?
Btw, Suffolk Rifle Company have got CMC drop in triggers in the UK now at £220 a pop ($150 across the pond) - I'm still waiting for my performance centre one, though...

i will stick with the NDZ lever

mine is still coming from America via camel, all the paperwork
has been issued now.

How much and where, did you get the boresnake from? also im interested to see the amount of crud that it removes from the barrel. Let me know how yours shoots after a clean, I have never cleaned my 'Annie' ever and it is still as accurate. I have been told to hold off on snaking the barrel until competition season is over, but im intrigued as to how much the S&W needs or reacts to a cleaning, because I throw a lot more rounds through it than my competition Annie. Although I'm taking my 15-22 to a comp on Sunday which I am really looking forward to....whoa im drifting here, basically how much crud and what the rifle performs like afterwards.
