Re: Good Deals Thread/ AR15 Build party in Lincoln
gsd:
I think that is why Dan made this thread, so we can settle on a time/place for the meeting.
Speaking of which...whats the plan?
Burnsy87:
I grabbed 2 PSA lowers and 2 LPK's awhile back. Only put one together. So I'm interested.
Crap, at $50/each, I may grab a couple more lowers just to have.
Dan W:
When everyone gets their parts in hand, we can try to schedule something. It will have to be after Independence Day
Dan W:
Here is a little trick I like to use when I build an AR15 lower.
If you are familiar with the little spring and detent that holds the rear take down pin in place, you know that the spring is a pain in the rump when trying to install the extension tube.
To remedy this, I use a piece of lead shot (6 shot IIRC) as a small plug to retain the spring and detent in the lower. The same thing can be done by threading the hole and inserting an allen plug, but that takes more work. In both cases the spring needs to have a few coils cut off before it is installed.
I do not use loctite on the extension tube threads, because I like to change stocks once in a while, or install a sling plate. So I like to secure the extension tube by staking the nut after it is properly tightened.
In any case , not having a detent spring hanging out the back of the lower while doing this work is a much easier way to proceed. 8)

everyone, i like the idea of doing this after July 4. i won't buy or have my LPK until after the holiday anyways. i would say about the second full week would be best. i work Sunday through Wednesday nights from 245pm to 1245am. so im free Thursday through Saturday.
