    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.

                So, these are from righttobear.com and the rest from palmetto state armory should arrive in about a week, then we shall see what I have ordered incorrectly!

                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”.

                                      Austin I am 100% down for this, obviously, I will have to shoot with mine a bit first though! On a related note I had an enormous victory yesterday. My wife and I were talking and she said “what was the small pistol that (a friend of ours) had when we went shooting” It was a .38 glock and when I asked her why and she said that “all the news about shootings recently has me thinking I don’t want to be unable to defend myself” I cried in pride and we are now pricing .38s for her! All of my 2A subliminal messaging with her has started to pay off!

                                        Austin “Id hate to embarrass jonathon” I have about 6 years of data that would fly directly in the face of that statement!

                                          Jonathon After you get the gun, be sure to get extra ammunition and get out and get your wife familiar with the gun. Only problem I see is if she is like my wife, you will be doing less shooting and more loading of magazines.
