Don't know anything about the receiver but sounds darn good to me. Pencil barrel?

Handguard arrived today.

ADCO took shipment of my upper from DD earlier this week for compliance work.

Shan't be much longer.

 

I'm thinking my first time out with this will be at Shoot NJ's first steps AR class on April 3rd.

Can't wait.

upper receiver came in today from ADCO

look them up if you're ordering uppers and need compliance work done.

turnaround was very quick- less than a week.

 

AR is basically done just waiting on the LPK

It was supposed to arrive with the upper but I guess Daniel Defense botched it up somewhere.

 

I'm happy with how it's turning out, though.

 

I'll be posting more detailed pics once it's complete.

For the record, ARs are 'never' quite done :icon_razz:, you'll find out.

 

ETA: Forgot to say that it looks good, so far!

Duuuuuuuude >>> love the stock !!!!! Looks sick .

So as the rest of the rifle of course. Good job!

I'm pretty sure you're right, already.

I may just put fixed irons on this one and KISS.

Which means I'd need a 2nd AR to put that scope to use.

and so on and so forth.

Thanks!

I got a pretty good deal on it from another forum.

It's an A1 length but VLTOR's buttpad makes it A2 length- so I have some kind of "adjustability."

I still want a sully stock too.

Lower Parts Kit arrived yesterday.

Put everything together and it all seems to function fine.

But again, I've only handled something from the AR platform once so don't completely know.

For example, the safety can only be engaged if the charging handle has been charged, correct?

Otherwise, I did something wrong.

 

The process of putting it together was pretty straight forward, but it certainly wasn't a breeze for a first timer.

I put a few tiny marks on the receiver trying to get the bolt release pin in.

 

The front takedown pin is really tight compared to the rear one.

I still need a solid 1/16 hex key to finish tightening up the magpul trigger guard.

 

I followed the vid posted in the first post on this AR forum my walkthrough and used the arf.com build page just to decipher which parts were which.

 

Now I can't wait to shoot it.

Hopefully at the first steps AR class that shootnj is holding this weekend.

Thanks, Nick.

I was a bit concerned at first but figured it to be that way.

Got an ETA on your assembly?

Lower build kit should arrive today. Upper should arrive later this week or early next week.

 

There are a few spring loaded parts that can launch across the room if you're not careful. Just make sure you are in a clean working space and you're GTG. These things were designed so cavemen could put them together and take them apart.

They're easier to assemble than an AEG :)

So did I. The lower literally took me ~an hour, and that counted about 15 minutes that i spent looking for the takedown detent that i launched across the room.
