I've accumulated what I believe to be (nearly; everything but a lower receiver) all the parts to complete an AR. I was originally planning to have an acquaintance help me assemble the rifle, but that has fallen through. I live in an apartment, so I don't have access to an adequate workspace nor the tools to build it myself.
I was hoping that a kind soul in the Olympia area would be able to help me assemble my upper sometime in the near future; perhaps for a small cash reward?

Thanks,

If you bring it up to Lake Stevens, we can build it over at Razzal's Bar & Grill.

It's possible that I'll have to take you up on that offer Bunneh... Hopefully I can find a resource where I don't have to leave this crap hole of a town.

Just called J&S guns; quoted me @ $40, but said it will cost more if he has to do anything "special." Which might be the case, as my upper is a VLTOR MUR..

I've built several ARs without the neccisary tools.  You can too.  Skim the build it yourself forum and see how easy it actually is.  Pick up a no-mar hammer and some punches and you have most of the tools purchased.

Does the MUR require a barrel nut?

I have a hammer that will mar, and several punches, but no barrel wrench or action block. You can swing by my place in Lacey and we can mess up your upper together


ETA-- I have plenty of shop space to work in

Sounds interesting; howmany builds have you done with that setup Kooter?

Bunny- My only problem w/ meeting you up in Lake Stevens, is that it's outta my range, as I'm a hippy who has no drivers license. The MUR requires a barrel-nut, the VIS does not.. Or atleast that's my understanding

If Koter shows up at my place tomorrow, I can loan a barrel wrench, action block and no-mar.

It's not the same action block we used for my pistol build, is it?


I'll be up there tomorrow evening sometime, but I can't stay too late since I have to work Saturday morning.

Crap I forgot about my pistol build. That makes 2 uppers I have put together

Heavy weight, low reps.

Oh, wait, that's not the kind of upper you meant...

I should undoubtedly do that too, but too busy with work & school.

Four posts from now, we need a build report with pictures.  Get my drift.

You aren't really a hippy are you?  I  mean you bathe and don't blockade ports and stuff, right?

3 Posts left: No, I'm not actually a hippy. Hopefully the build happens tomorrow.
