I just did a trade with a guy from Fl Gun Trader. He builds them as a hobby. Its a flat top upper, very similiar to the ATH varmint/predator model offered by Rock River. I shot him a pic of what I wanted and he built it for me, its all top shelf stuff. Its carbine length with a 1 x 7 twist. I did some research on twist rates last night and that way I understand it, the 1 x 7 twist can shoot any grain 556/223 bullet offered. The heavier the better, all the way up to 80 grains is possible. Here is a good link that I read last night that explains twist rates:

If you have any interest in this type of setup or similiar shoot me a pm and I will put you in touch with him. He's right around Disney.
