I mean if you can afford better I definitely would
I'd use Vortex over Burris. But if you can save up for Aimpoint or Trijicon or Primary Arms or EO Tech, I would.
Also heard a lot of good things about Holosuns red dots
It seems that my bolt catch and firing hammer are touching, I feel like that isn't a good thing. Leaves the bolt catch feeling rusty when assembled

@JackLAXXX
Your hammer will not touch your bolt catch when it is cocked back.
But other than that, a successful first time assembling an AR15. Honestly...much simpler than I expected
Okay, I see
Also, did you scratch your receiver?
I don't believe I scratched anything
The BCG will also stop that from happening iirc
Hey, for your first build. Using Pony lowers is probably a good choice actually. That was if it scratches, you don't feel so bad
A quick tip for anyone who is building receivers anytime soon is to take painters tape and put it on the receiver where your hammer will go.
(For the bolt catch)
You mean my upper receiver? Only very minor scuffs
But there are some
In otherwords. You did fine, but let's see them pics
Good to know regarding the burris vs vortex. Only vortex I can find right now are upcharged like hell, so just going to stick with shitty ruger backup irons until they start to come back.
This right here with Magpul MOE stock
I have sights and my nickel boron BCG coming in this week
Stake your castle nut?
When you say stake
😳
I am legally special needs so let's be kind
Not really, but definitely a registered idiot
Do you need an answer?
I actually have no idea.
There’s actually a super easy way
He's asking if you pinged it so it doesn't loosen, basically. A more permanent fix.
Hm, no I have not, I tightened to maybe 50lbs of pulldown using the wrench it came with
I just took a nail and hammer to mine
lol
Pshhh This is 2020; Get you a PWS ratcheting castle nut set.
I want to like it so much
But mine already failed once. I re-read the directions and re torqued it, we shall see
@JackLAXXX midway usa has some decent guides on building the upper and lower on youtube.
Those are the exact ones I used!
Apart from having to take my pistol grip off to attach my fire selector it was an easy go
Also, is my fire selector supposed to stay fixed to fire for any reason? When I open up and cock the internals I can freely move it but once I fire it remains fixed
it can only go into "safe" when the hammer is cocked back
