Nothing wrong with slow and steady the first time

Yeah!  I had my book and read every step at least twice to make sure I understood it before completing.  It took me a particularly long time to get the Damn holes lined up for the gas tube!

I think my next project is going to be an a1 build.  Kind of a trip down memory lane to my first experience with a gun ever...basic training.  Of course, being left-handed, I'm going to get an upper with a brass deflector, so it won't completely be an a1.

Ahhhh............. I remember my first time..............  Oh, we're talking about guns, yep, guns.

Is there something wrong with leftover parts when you are finished? I thought that meant that I had won or something.  ;D

I took my time, took union breaks, and had the lower complete in less than 2 hours. I was kinda surprised "that was it".

The upper was even easier.

Like a good old American car,....keep it simple.

Same with my M1 Garand,.. Designed to be serviced, torn down, rebuilt, repaired, in the field with tools the soldier would have access to.

My teenage son, had my AR and M1 disassembled, and than reassembled while listening to my old Emerson Lake & Palmer albums...

Oh, What A Lucky Man, He Was....

Good shooting BAC, enjoy it.

Went to the range with the family.  My wife shot the AR (her first time) and did very well.  I may never get it back.  Told her I'd make her one in any color she'd like.   ;D

If she has problems with it jamming, you may want to get her 20 round mags so that the gun is not resting on the mag when she shoots.
Just a thought.

Thanks, I already told her I was getting some 20 round mags for her.
