But the way I figure it, by the time I'm done I've essentially bought myself a pretty decent used Freedom Arms in the same chambering.

So the question is, do I get the work done of the BFR, or just sell it and pony up for a nice used FA in 475L?



My suggestion would be to have it tuned up, with barrel cut to your desired length and then get the grip frame reworked and fitted with a set of custom grips made for your hand. Then it will be personalized. You get the FA (nothing wrong with the FA) and it will be in a configuration for the masses. You already have the BFR, might as well personalize it......JMHO.
