            First build? Just in time before the great ban and the prices go up.

                Yup, first build so processhead no experience but lots of experience in this building so I should hopefully be able to do it without too much issue. I bought the lower about 2 years ago just to have and wanted the rest before anything happens and we can’t buy them or something else gets serialized on it.

                I absolutely will continue posting pics. I am excited for the optics to arrive, I got a good deal on a red dot that I liked. memorial day sales played a large part in me finally ordering the rest of what I needed.

                    Nice! youtube will be your friend. The AR platform is a fairly easy assembly. I’ve never built but have torn mine totally down.

                        Jonathon If you learn about and understand one concept about rifle assembly, it is that of chamber head space. You want this right and you don’t want to take someone else’s word for it that your barrel and upper are “all set”.
