And so the addiction begins...
« on: November 03, 2011, 08:59:41 PM »
This came in a few days ago...:)



And this was the blemish... :o



I cant believe that little bitty nick is what dropped the price to what i stole it for:)

Already have a list of exactly what is going on it, total build cost to firing status should be around $605.

(You cant see it but i have this HUGE childish grin on my face)

OH NO!  YOU'VE CAUGHT BLACK RIFLE DISEASE!

There's no going back. 

By the way, if you want to cover up that blem I have some Alumablack that will hide it.  A light shot of semi-gloss black spray paint will do it too.

Rob, no SBR in the immediate future, gotta get this built first (but if PSA does another $50 deal i may be tempted)

BK, It just adds to the character lol

Nice!  I was looking at AR lowers in some Omaha shops.  The cheapest was $199.  I need to pick up an inexpensive lower so I can build a new rifle and spread out the cost.

I hear ya.  I am going to jump on one of these deals here sometime.  It will still turn into a very long build on my budget these days..

Ha ha welcome to Black Rifle disease anonymous! I wonder how it transmits... :o
I will be working on a few projects this winter. Got a couple lowers on the way (223 and 308) I am in no hurry to get them done. There is enough that i can use to put lead down range. I just want to do it right.

BRD is highly contagious and is usually picked up at gun ranges or through the interwebs.

I am temporarily immune: my wallet recently suffered an acute attack of the Milsurp Virus..... Commiegun strain...... it is not terribly serious, as brass, bullets, some loaded ammo, and dies did more damage to the wallet than the guns did......

Don't do that.  Grabbed 2 Palmetto State Armory lowers for $160 total, including shipping about 8 months ago.

You can always buy the upper a piece at a time and spread the cost out.  I have all the tools to build it if you want to use them.

Seriously, if you're capable of changing your oil you can build an upper.  It's that easy.
