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?
Oof wait did I install the castle nut incorrectly
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.
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
Again registered idiot but I appreciate all of the help tonight guys
Reorganized the safe... took a group photo while I let them breathe
Not bad, looks like a good little family.
This is really fucking cool

Anyone have a list of current manufacturers making low shelf receivers?
PSA used to make one that was marked M4. No idea if they're still in production.
Typical Bear Creek Arsenal mistakes
😤 I posted that yesterday nerd
I mean. At least it's just the laser engravings... How they managed to run it through twice is baffling though.
