AR parts kit

[nupe]

Ok so I'm off and running again with the build.  I put a DPMS lpk in.  After I get the paycheck tomorrow I will have an order coming from Bravo Company with their BCG and Gunfighter charging handled along with a Vltor stock and a H buffer.  Then in a couple of weeks I will be placing my final order to DSA for their mid-length fluted upper, a mil-spec buffer tube and a buffer spring.  As far as I can tell everything should have a pretty good fit and finish, and I'm gonna be one happy kid by the end of the month. If anyone can see anything wrong with my selection let me know.

I have been able to sale most of my extra parts thru ebay and Texas gun trader...But I also like keeping a few extra springs and etc. around just in case of a failer...

Check out palmetto state armory: http://www.palmettostatearmory.com/ I buy their kits with the Geissele Trigger, Daniel Defense internals and Magpul MOE grip and trigger guard. If you shoot them an email with what you want, say the full MIAD grip instead of teh MOE they'll put it together custom for you and give you a good price. I buy at least half my AR parts from them and have never had an issue. In fact they sent me the wrong item once, it actually cost a bit more than what I ordered. They sent the right part overnight with a pickup tag for the wrong part.

I know I'm jumping the gun a bit, but when I home tomorrow night I will finally have my upper and thus complete my first AR build.  Just a little excited I guess, but I will post pics and range report after I have broken it in.

Glad to hear it

alright I know I keep teasing you guys but I'm finally posting the porn.  I still haven't had much of a chance to break it in, but I did get a mag through it and got it roughly sighted in.  I don't think I could have planned for a better fit and finish on it.  I ended up rounding off the back corners on the rear lug just a hair so that it would slide into place.  Other wise no slop, all of the lines match, finish between upper and lower match perfectly.  All in all I'm very happy with my first build.

Congratulations!   Lookin' good.

Sorry, haven't been following your progress, but looks like you got some good advice and encouragement along the way.

If you haven't done so, you need to check out the operation of the disconnector and safety, before you go to the range.
(Am I being redundant?  Did somebody else cover this?)

Making sure the chamber is empty.  Cock the hammer (cycle the charging handle).  Pull AND HOLD the trigger back, dry-firing the weapon.  KEEPING THE TRIGGER BACK cycle the bolt and re-cock the hammer again.   THEN RELEASE the trigger and then dry-fire again.   IF the disconnector worked the second dry firing should work.  If however the disconnector failed, the the hammer will not stay cocked but will ride the bolt home.   Repeat this a number of times to insure yourself it works.

And of course, cock the hammer, put on the safety and make sure you can not pull the trigger.   Cycle the safety a number of times testing its function.

Have fun at the range.   Targets porn is good.

I've got 4 lowers that I've had since 08' and I've bought a couple LPK's for them so far. I"m slowly getting every thing I need and I hope to get building soon. I would like to get at least one of them complete this year. I have plans to do an M4, a pistol, a 6.5 or 6.8, and a standard A2 when all is said and done. Time and money is all I need!

[tombogan03884]

I would go with the 6.8 since it seems to be catching on better than 6.5.
