started my first ar lower build, finished it in less than 2 beers! way easy... here are some pics for your enjoyment!

parts and tools layed out, nothing fancy as you can see not really needed...

trigger pretty easy, easier than a saiga g2 with bolt hold open spring..

install trigger... ez peezy

hammer time!

mag catch parts

mag catch installed

pivot was the toughest part, that spring wants just fly across the room, be careful!

i didnt tape anything by the way... now to drink some brew! haha!

complete! next barrell, and free float hand guard install...

Sweet! GJ dude!

i loled at your measurement of time

 

what upper are you going with for the build?

not sure yet, still barrel shopping, don't know if I should go 14.5" or 16" barrel, still researching, any suggestions? im thinking 1:7 for twist to use heavier bullets. i got a 12.37" samson evolution rail go with it.

Mmmm Especial!

 

Nice build...would be better if it was AK related though

Which LPK was that?

it was a dti lpk, kit went together pretty easy, everything like pins, springs all fit perfect, no rough or bad edges and the trigger feels really nice crispy. safety clicks into position really nice too. no real serious negatives except the mag catch button Is plastic, that could easily be changed out though.

pivot was the toughest part, that spring wants just fly across the room, be careful!

If you don't have the pivot pin install tool, you can also use a large punch that's the same size as the pivot pin. Stick it most of the way through both holes, install spring and the small pin, push the pin down and slide the punch all the way through. Then push the punch out with the pivot pin. Got it installed first try that way.

for that part i ended up using the razor blade trick, but with a small flat head screw driver, what i think made it hard for was i didnt use a vise or anything to stabilize the lower, so i was kind of juggling it while putting that part in... especial is my speciality! hey recessed you know i did my good deed ak wise this weekend...

nice build!!
