AR-15 BS Thread

i also used an aluminum tray to catch everything as i dropped them

 

When I installed the take down detent, I did it inside of a gallon sized freezer bag so if it went flying it would be caught in the bag. This was after the first time I tried and it launched into orbit and I spent 10 mins searching my floor for it.

 

haha yeah one of my detents luckily bounced off me and back into the tray once

 

There is nothing to building an upper. And if you do this long enough and didn't build it the way you wanted first, you will end up changing out the rail and barrel anyways so at that point you have learned to completely disassemble and reassemble a complete upper.

If you can put together a lego set, you can build and AR with minimal tools and youtube.

 

Took me a half hour to get the pin in an extended charging handle latch.

 

I tried to put together a lego set, kept stepping on the pieces.

You sound encouraging tho, thanks.

 

wear slippers

 

Thanks, had to look up the acronyms.

 

take your time, you’ll have 4 years to decide...

 

I love building uppers and probably make it more involved than is practical (squaring the face, shimming the slop out of the barrel/receiver interface, headspacing). Good tools make all the difference. The one thing I haven't purchased good tools for that drives me insane: Getting that pin in the gas block that holds the gas tube. I hate that MFing pin.

@CurtB As to the lower build, the roll pin starter punch set is the biggest quality of life improvement for anyone who might shake, quake, or otherwise lack perfect fine motor skills.

 

I enjoy putting AR’s together, gas block pin is my least favorite also. I’m really bummed everything is gone, can’t buy shit for gun parts anymore.

 

I'd rather be Blown .....

 

My new ride long story but Toyota bought my 19 T4R back because of the fuel pump issue and I got this 21 SR5 Premium even up...

 

Thanks. I ordered the roll pin starter punch set and a regular punch set while I was at it.

 

To you Sir. Everytime I look at buying a vehicle I leave feeling like I was violated

 

Well decent fed to start organizing some ammo. I found a few 22mag rounds I forgot I had and a couple boxes of 12ga 25 round boxes I forgot I’d put away.


lol at least I have some of this

 

Chris if you do not have time to mess with it I can come and get the 68, I am retired I can mess with it everyday
