Hey Geronimo, myself and Kaila, pictured below will be putting together her lower and maybe my sbr lower if I can get Nikita @ Noveske to find me another "chainsaw" Gen II lower.

Or (stock screw, lower sling swivel, sling swivel screw, and fixed stock)


Upper half includes:

One upper receiver ( uppers will usually have forward assist, and dust cover installed, if you buy a stripped upper you will need to buy those parts)

I'd rep you but I'm out. Thanks. Gives me a list of stuff to aim for and slip past the "financial controller"

I thought you were buying ammo, and a free beta mag to all attending?

For you partsless guys:

INGO special: AR15 complete kits minus lower - INGunOwners

Not the cheapest kit I've seen, but it looks like good quality, and most of all it's a site advertiser. I figure it's at least worth a look. Kits have everything but the lower receiver.

 

[Boomstick]

We can do "cheap/cheaper" parts kits, but this one is tricked out. Figured it would be a very cheap way to get into a nice AR, high quality parts, chrome lined, mid-lenght, good 2 stage trigger, nice grip, and quad rail for barely over $800 after sales tax and everything!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[geronimojoe85]

Yeah, I just realized how that sounded.

This is a good kit, with quality parts, and a good deal.

I knew what you meant, I was just posting that we can do a cheaper one, and may down the road for another INGO special, just at the deal we could move these for, why not go tricked out from the start!!!!!!!
We should do a 1911 build day.....I've always wanted to build my own and never have taken the plunge from start to finish.

Hope the classes go well, looks like fun

 

[NapalmFTW]

I can try and document with pictures (should help me down the line once I get my parts).

Sounds fine to me.

 

[Clif45]

Got my buffer kit in today from PSA. Probably pick up a new grip tomorrow at the gun show, maybe another collapsible stock as well. May even start the process of assembling an upper.

 

[Bill B]

Just saw this:
Palmetto State Armory Classic LPK

49.95 for a LPK.

 

[SERVED_USMC]

I would like to attend. I may be purchasing a stripped lower and possibly a LPK this coming weekend. Please add my name to the list and I will update on if i get the LPK or not. Thanks!

Ive got a spare commercial tube and end plate you can use if you dont have one by then.

upper build

I had seen that this was originally going to be a class on building a complete rifle. Has that changed? I just ordered all the parts required to build the upper and expect to bring them to class to learn how to assemble it as well. I used the parts list suppled on an earlier post to oreder the parts. , SS 16" fluted bull barrel, upper, bolt, charging handle, gas block and tube, pins, etc.......

[geronimojoe85]

In the class I will cover the whole rifle. If you have just an upper or just a lower to build you're good.

 

[Newbomb92]

I'll have a magpul moe grip in black, $15 if one of you guys want it.

 

[s&wluvr]

OK, as I understand it, the class is next Sunday 03/04. Is that correct? What time and what address?
