INGO AR15 Build Party 4/18/2010

[MoTown]

If only I could afford to build one of my favorite guns... sigh.. Have fun people!

 

[Cwood]

Will anyone have any extra LPKs that I can buy at the build?

I should have a couple RRA LPK's they are $65 plus tax.

 

[dieselman]

Im still looking for a magpul PRS buttstock and a panther pistol grip... anyone have one they want to sell? pm me.

 

[bbbas55]

i was glad to see its ok to come even though i dont currently own any parts. this may be the place to get started...
thanks

 

[dieselman]

so i got my parts kit today... LPK came in a bag of randomness with no directions... gonna need some serious help.

We'll help you figure out where to put all the springy thingys...

I just assembled my first AR15 lower last night with only these instructions. It was actually a lot easier than I had expected.

Might give these a look,

Assembling your own stripped AR-15 lower -- 56k killer

Good luck, I had a lot of fun with mine!

How late will this run? I am interested in attending but wouldn't be able to come until later in the afternoon. I'd be interested in learning how to put a lower receiver together.

 

[fish75]

[Fenway]

We're usually there for a couple hours. Most of the time we're done by 4 or 5...

I was really sick this past week. Between strep throat fevers and concoctions of over the counter medicine, I thought the build was this weekend. Man, did I get excited when I found out I was wrong. I've got two... maybe three things I want to try and get accomplished, if possible.

1. Take my lower assembled from last time and try to figure out where I went wrong.

2. Assemble my new lower*.

3. Maybe install a free floating rail system on a lower? I'd even be willing to throw someone a few bucks if they walked me through it.

*I'm hoping my order from LaRue gets here in time. I ordered it about 3-4 weeks ago and everything I wanted was on backorder for at least two more weeks.

I promise not to come if I am still sick/contagious. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I bet it was the birthday jerky!!

What is the problem? i.e. what's it doing or not doing?

3. Maybe install a free floating rail system on a lower?

That's beyond my capability. I can, however, help you install a free floating rail system on an upper.

Just so I don't thread jack any further...

And what you did there... I see it! It is the overly large Daniel Defense rail that Bravo Company had for below dealer cost. I think it requires the removal of front site post. I'm guessing I don't need anything else for the install.

I think I forgot to respond earlier, I'm in, and I'll bring my tools.

I can do this but I'd need my lathe and mill that are in my garage and maybe a tig welder. It would be easier to put the freefloat rail on the upper.

That would explain why I felt ill the last few days. No more B-day jerky for me.

The other side of that, the bug gave me these urges to pick up some NFA items. So whatever you do, don't bring any to the build. It might get me sick all over again.

 

[forkliftdave]

you bring a dish and i will bring a fork

 

[kricket37]

I have never built an AR and have always wanted to start. I know some of the others mentioned they would have parts, kits and full builds available at the event. Can someone give me and idea of cost? I have a general idea but wanted to make sure I had enough to cover.

I was thinking about getting a lower parts kit and starting there. Any recommendations on where to start in the build process?

Thanks,

Kris
