1.1k 62gr Lake City Federal ammo, with a $55.00 mail-in rebate.

Also 3/4 case of 10mm to go with the RIA 1911 CM Ultra in 10mm that I bought myself for my birthday.

Also all the parts minus the barrel for a 6.5 build. Those were acquired over a few months. First heavy metal build.

If anyone has ideas for the barrel (22-24" for a hunting rig that I might try walking out to 1k yards someday) I'm all ears... er... eyes... Ballistic Advantage 22" is nice, but not so much for lugging into the woods or fields. Sucker weighs north of 5lbs for the barrel alone!

I've looked at Anderson and BCA. Anyone have thoughts? I'm not looking to spend $400+ on this. MAYBE up to $300, but $200 (give or take) is my preference. I know I'm cheap
