I'm looking at building my own. And have ordered a parts kit. I'm trying to decide what tools I need to buy, what I could borrow and what I can do without.
-
Let us know your location so we can help
-
Sorry, thought it was already in my profile. I'm in Lincoln
-
You need to build upper, lower or both?
-
I'm building both. I'm waiting on the jig to complete my lower. The rest of the parts are supposed to arrive this week.
-
I have the tools....Let me know when you are ready to build and we can arrange a time to put it all together.
-
That's very generous. Thank you.
-
You're welcome
-
Dan is the man.

Be careful, they have a tendency to multiply. ;)

With the encouragement of this group, my 12 year old (at the time) built a lower a few years ago. Upper was from PSA. I borrowed the roll pin punches and vice block from a friend and the kid did it all by himself just following along with a YouTube video. Nothing to it.
I wonder if the YouTube video has been purged in their anti-gun frenzy.
Edit. .... no it’s still there. Easy as pie. Like building with legos.

Dost thou have a link, perchance?

Easy peasy.

Thank you, kind sir!

Just wanted to publicly thank Dan for his help and tips and tricks. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, and I just have a few little things to tidy up, and have a better idea of what I 'need' to have for a successful build.
-
You are welcome...hope it shoots as good as it looks!
-
I hope to find out soon.

I'd like you to post a range report, always love these builds, kind of addictive.
