Yea I wasn't planning on buying one just yet but it was a great deal. But now I'm doing research and am really excited for it

I'm looking and watching videos on all this build stuff

 

[Ace43809]

I've been watching some. Building the lower shouldn't be a problem. I think I can manage it

 

[Blaze]

Ok ace and anyone else. Lets have pics and updates on the build.

Oh man I almost forgot lol. I need to take the time to type out what all I did. But here is a quick update. So I started with a Palmetto state lower and parts kit. I had zero experience with ARs. However I found it very simple to put together. All you need is a set of punches, and a non marring hammer. Most of the pins were very simple to install. The one I seemed to have the most trouble with was for the trigger guard. But eventually everything went together just fine. I was amazed at how simple building the lower actually is. Here is a pic of what I have so far. I have ordered a buffer tube but still no stock yet

Looks very good. ... It's something to be proud of for sure ... I can't wait to join you in a build if I ever get my lower

 

[Ace43809]

You will get it. Mine is gonna be a long process. But like you said it will be something I'm very proud of

I can't wait to get it. And later I'm going to get a matching 1911

 

[Ace43809]

That will be one sweet set

I have rebuilt motors, built a Banshee, completely dissembled sleds and put back together adding my own finishing touches, Builts drag sleds, "carb guy" in the neighborhood and tuned in clutching on a sled...but I have never built an AR. I really want to one day and hope to in the future. Keep us updated on the build.

You know, if I keep coming on here and reading this my wife isnt going to be to happy with me ...Yes Youtube is a great tool. I dont even know if I want something that will reach out and touch something - like a .308 with tri-pod, with a 6x40 scope, 20" SS barrrel or something for more close range like home defense - red dot sight, short barrel, quick/smooth trigger pull, green laser???????

SO many options, so much to choose from???????? Now I know how little girls feel in the Barbie isle looking at accessories :cheesy:

 

[Ace43809]

The only option is just to build one of each! Lol

 

[krss144]
