|
|
Has anyone built one, or are you thinking of building one???
I did one a few weeks ago and it was too simple.
Why pay extra for someone else to do this??
The hardest part was the bolt catch pin.
All the help you might need is available on AR15.com or net or whatever.
(yeah, I'm making you look for it)

Did you get one of those deals where you bolt the lower together and drill the holes?
One company used to sell unfinished castings. You had to mill them out, drill all the holes, thread the place for the stock, etc. That one would have required a machine shop to complete. |

UH, NO.
I guess it would be more accurate to say I "assembled" one.
I used a stripped lower.
