I got a lower I could build just to get in on the fun. I can also help some build lowers as I've done a couple previously.

We need to think about a location to do this... I was thinking about my man cave, but it would only have room for maybe 4 people max before it was elbow to elbow. I could get out a few tables and do part in the basement family room next to the cave

i could ask my wife. i got a somewhat big downstairs. all we would need is tables and maybe some chairs.

how many people are going to be able to make it?

We really need a vise to hold assembly blocks

Darn it, I wish I'd bought another lower when they were $50. Not that I need another, I just want in on the fun.

haha my plans for an AR got nixxed by the financial advisor. He apparently thinks i need to save money...

So i'm looking harder at a CZ instead. I guess i could show up and take pics, maybe build a DIY for the site.

gsd, you have to approach this the right way...start with a stripped lower and let the disease progress naturally

bkoenig · « **Reply #28 on:** July 06, 2011, 07:45:40 PM »

Yep, both of my AR's I started with a stripped lower that I found at a good price, then bought everything one piece at a time until I had everything. Took about 6 months for each of them.

gsd · « **Reply #29 on:** July 06, 2011, 11:40:24 PM »

Unfortunately i am one of those guys that goes all out. If i start with a stripped lower it will be only a short matter of time before a LPK shows up, and by short i mean probably within a week.

RobertH · « **Reply #30 on:** July 06, 2011, 11:52:21 PM »

if PSA told me right, i should have both of my lowers and my LPK late this week or early next week!!! im super pumped for this. ill get my upper later.

RobertH · « **Reply #31 on:** July 14, 2011, 10:19:40 PM »

ok. let get this party started..... if we can't all get to gether, i guess we can do a couple of parties or i can attempt to do it myself.

Dan W · « **Reply #32 on:** July 15, 2011, 07:30:00 PM »

OK you addicts... I have some free time the weekend of July 30-31 if you want to have a build party at my place.

Space is limited so maybe 6 builders max. I have a room with a vise and two benches, then I can setup some tables in another room for simpler procedures.

I have some specialty tools, but feel free to bring whatever you think may be helpful.

Not many rules here, but 2 are No smoking and no alcohol on the premises.

Let me know if this works, or if we think we need a different location.

One last thing, you gotta be a registered NFOA member to participate

RobertH · « **Reply #33 on:** July 15, 2011, 11:40:08 PM »

hmmm... my bday is on the 29th, so the 30th prolly won't be the best since i might have a party at my place on the 30th and work the 31st. crap, i may be doing this myself... if my plans change, ill let everyone know, but that isn't the best weekend. what about the second week of august?

gsd · « **Reply #34 on:** July 15, 2011, 11:54:52 PM »

Guess the NFOA part counts me out. I still haven't got around to getting that taken care of.

Rich B · « **Reply #35 on:** July 16, 2011, 09:23:01 AM »

Dan,
If the interest is there, count me in. I don't have anything to build, but I do have a bunch of AR tools. Action blocks, panther claw, gas tube pin punch, armorer's wrench, FAT wrench, various punches, etc.

I finished building my 3-gun AR before I moved... still haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Between unpacking, my second job, and tending to the "new and improved" honey-do list for the house, I've been too busy.

The 13th of August would work for me. The date I laid out was just an attempt to move things along.
