Nice on the all black. Be like me and accidentally start spray painting magazines (which oddly looks OK) to give it some variety.

Lower stuff came in. Still gotta assemble but I tossed it together for my viewing pleasure

Looking good, Cant wait to see the finished product.

Nice, I used the same lower build kit for mine too.

If you are planning to use a sling I would get one of the sling endplates (Magpul, Troy, Noveske, etc) now that way you can put it on while you build it, instead of taking the lower apart later to add one. Personally I went with the Noveske QD http://midwestpx.com/product_info.php?cPath=62&products_id=460

Yeah I'm not assembling anything yet. I'm trying to decide on a sling endplate.

I have the magpul sling adapters on my ARs. Simple and effective. Just my two cents

+1 on that. The magpul asap is a great piece of kit. It's cheaper than alot of other ones as well. Also, I have a pivot detent tool I'm not using, so if you want I can lend it out.

Yeah I'll be ordering a Magpul ASAP, as well as a rail for the MOE handguard and a magpul BAD lever

I have BAD levers on all my ARs. After using it you'll never go back. Just so darned intuitive even the new rifle designs have something similar. That new beretta that is suppose to rival the ACR comes to mind.

AR Upper is in - gotta get that brake pinned. I have my lower sitting in my GF's closet at her house while this thing is at my house. Stupid laws. Thanks to Old School (Frank) for helping me get the Upper from JSE. Will definitely need some cleaning and a lot of lube. Thanks also to DestinyDog who helped me pin my Magpul MOE stock!

I understand lubing a new upper, but cleaning? Was it really dirty, or just what's left after they do their test shots?

Just what's left after their test shots.

niiiice...

know where you're going to have it pinned?

I think GlennP is going to weld it on for me.

i'll be following this

what are you considering as options for your upper right now?

 

think you'll have it together by the dix AR shoot?

 

 

When is Ft Dix Ar Meet? I am almost done with my build.

Excellent, I am hoping I get mine done and broken in by then.

Mine should be done by then. Will be breaking it in and sighting it in at Ft Dix

Vortex SPARC, Rail for the Magpul MOE Handguard, Magpul B.A.D., and Magpul ASAP are in. Upper is out for brake pinning. Hopefully will have everything together this weekend!

will need feedback on that vortex sparc, and hopefully it pops up again on dvor.

what was the price you paid for it again?

Bought it through Frank (Old School) with his competitive shooter's discount - came out to $181.99 before shipping.

So I assume you got the stuff and the order was correct?

The stuff arrived at my office (was gonna PM you, Frank). I assume it's correct - will stop by the office later to pick it up

 

Lower is mostly built. I'm missing the bolt catch roll pin - hopefully can pick one up tomorrow if SS or BA has it. Anyone know a place around the area who has one?

 

Magpul ASAP is the sling attachment point. Magpul B.A.D. Lever is there - I may hold off on attaching it for a bit. We'll see.

 

Picking up the upper tomorrow

Thats the frakking pin that caused me trouble in my build also. I had to use the one in my spare kit to finish the build, and have yet to replace it. Hopefully you can find a place that carries them. You may want to try Sayerville Sportsman, he might have AR parts.

I called up Sayreville Sportsmen - They only have full parts kits...

Isn't that just a stock size 3/32" roll pin? If you measure the length, I would think you could get one from Home Depot, Lowes or a Ace hardware store?

No clue but I'll try that!

I lost my pivot pin detent when I did a lower a couple months ago. I feel your pain. I have a complete pin/detent kit. If you are eager to finish assembly PM me-- I will give you my cell. You can pick up now and replace when you have a chance. I live near Keyport.

Shore shot - Nothing. Brick Armory - Nothing. Blargh. Thanks for the offer, Brisco. I sent you a PM
