To stop the pan feature back the knob out all the way and spin the bipod 180 degrees then tighten the adjustment knob. Then you'll only have your cant adjustment available to you and you can pretty much look it out by tightening the knob all the way.

If you loosen the tension knob down all the way. then spin the middle section around to lock. That will get rid of the pan on the bipod. Nice rifle.

I may have missed it…barrel, contour etc?

Definitely check out Arisaka 18650 with Malkoff EX2L head on it for the best light for the money while maintaining modularity. Comes in almost 100 clams lower than Modlite and is literally just between OKW and PLHv2 on performance

Not my generation's saying - Vietnam veteran. I installed Vortex PST 2-10x FFP/MOA, TRIGGER tech trigger AR Diamond, and butt stock RAPS. Now, where to go or what to do with this rifle? A word about the selection of scope: old eyes don't see too well, which is why I put the Vortex 2-10x scope parallax adjustment that 1-6, 1-8, and 1-10x don't have, touch all the bases so to speak. Next, maybe a suppressor? Griffin Armament?

Also, different companies parts fit differently and can cause a headache.

Build, assemble, install all are fairly interchangeable words unless you really want to get semantic about the exact meaning. Now if you were to say you bought parts to manufacture a rifle then I would question your choice of words. Don't worry about the people who try to fault you using the word build, they are confused and I'm pretty sure they've never taken or been educated in the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning even though there is subtle shades of meaning.

Very articulated point. I hope you stick around thank you.

The whole “build” thing is kinda ridiculous. Do you build a LEGO set? Yes. If you take an engine block and buy a bunch of parts off the internet and put it together did you build the engine? Yes. The term doesn’t insinuate that you forged the metal or machines the receiver, but in some cases when building a rifle there is some machine work required. But not every case. Sometimes a “build” is just a synonym for assembling from parts. Trying to own people on terminology is just a vanity flex for folks in the know. Instead of flexing on each other, “build” each other up.

Typically a house is “built” from base components, if it was prefabricated than we would describe the installation process as “assembly”. Personally I would consider putting together a rifle “assembly” unless there was a high level of hand fitting and gun smithing to which I would then refer to it as “building”

You're building unless it's a complete upper and lower and then you're assembling. I don't understand why people play this semantic game when it comes to firearms. When you're building an engine or anything else you don't hear people saying "I assembled an engine". This argument has quickly become a pet peeves.
