Following a gourmet dinner of Antelope steaks, pork loin, red potatoes & green beans my pal Dave assembled his 2nd AR15. The first was a 20" target/varmint rig back in December. He bought two stripped lowers from RB Precision on my recommendation before the prices went up. This time he chose a 16" carbine with adjustable stock. We followed the sacred guide contained at the top of the forum & it went together flawlessly. Not one spring or detent was launched.  We used a Superior lower, DPMS lower parts kit, a lightly used 16" upper from EE & a retractable stock purchased at a local gunshow. The mag catch then bolt catch were in place in just a minute.  Trigger & pin went in quickly.  The hammer pin a was bit testy but with a tap from a hammer it slide into place.  The grip & safety detent required a couple tries then we once again realized the Superior lower has an over travel adjustment set screw that needs to be screwed in before the grip will fit into place.  Add the retractable stock.  Slap the upper on and function test for safe operation.  Last step was to step out to the back yard range and take it for a test drive.   A slight adjustment was needed to bring the holes down to the center of the 50yd target. The cabine functioned properly without a failure. |
Where's his vision protection when shooting? Does Dave think ARs never kaboom (especially new builds from used EE parts)? Buy that man some safety glasses! 
I bet it has something to do with that horrible hat on his head hurting his brain |
Dave's "not impressed look" pic was snapped as he was in mid sentence as he was asking about the proper trigger discipline/ARFCOM etiquet. He settled for two in the pink & one in the stink  Ol' Chief your in MONTANA! For GOD'S sake I've been there often & would love to relocate to SE MT. Surely you can find a place in that paradise to cut loose with a few rounds without the neighbors getting their panties in a wad. Heck, my little 40ac hunk of dirt here in Michigan allows me that "luxury" occationally. |
Hahah I fought for about 10min trying to get the grip on until I realized I had to turn in that damn screw...tell ya what, though, those Superior lowers have hair triggers with that adjustment screw all the way in... |
get a bit excited over that rifle?  Naaa, it looks good, I just can't help myself sometimes |
