I assembled my first AR lower today. For anyone who is contemplating it, do it. It was very easy, took about an hour as I was being very careful not to scratch the lower. I had a lower from a special Noveske had when I bought an AR from them. They gave you a 2nd lower that was supposedly blemished. I can't find any blemishes, but not going to argue. I used a video that i found on the web and watched it twice before starting. Here is the link for anyone interested.

Attached is a picture of the finished lower:

 

I used a Daniel Defense parts kit and an A2 stock from Midwest PX.

 

For the upper I wanted to go nostalgic so I ordered a BCM 20" gov't profile and also the rifle length hand guards. I sent it to ADCO to have the evil features fixed.

Attached also is a picture of them together:

 

Hopefully will be taking it to the range this weekend.

Congrats, hope it performs well at the range.

Very nice sir, any other upgrades in the future?

the DD lpk from Midwest was a joy to work with. Thanks again Ty.

 

Jimmy, awesome job... although the only thing I would recommend is an Ergogrip.

Digz, Thanks I am sure it will perform well as I have heard nothing but excellent reviews on the BCM uppers.

 

Ray, no upgrades for this one. I have a 16" m4gery and an 18" SPR Mk12 copy.

 

Maks, Yes DD lpk was great, only thing I had an issue with besides finding a launched spring was the Magpul enhanced trigger guard. It's polymer and the allen screw is hard to get threaded. But it is all top quality even the trigger pull seems smooth.

Really? Noveske gave you a free lower also? Nice!

That looks very nice-- always a fan of the KISS setups. Just curious, what buffer are you running in it? And range report when you do get the chance! I'm looking forward to hearing how soft it shoots.

Ben it was part of the stock kit, LMT. I am sure it will shoot soft. Funny how the old school hand guards and the carry handle feel, just like an old friend.

i've heard that about every noveske blem lower. i wonder if they'll do that promotion again the end of next year. i sure hope so!

Congrats JImmy, nice job.
