So yeah, potato AF pics but they are all I took
 functions, feeds, and fires flawlessly so far 
All this for one out of spec piece... 
Tigtigtig and moar tig 
Xtreme metl AF potato pic of the trigger in and the side plates doneish 
Using the upper to assemble the magwell, slightly less full potato 
And the mostly finished product! Needs a the buffer tube stuff still attached but thats for another day, in the mean time I'm gonna start attacking it with a file and sandpaper. I totally skipped/not going to do the LRBHO/bolt release or safety on it and just going to fill in the void/holes. 
Oh and did I mention I put 5 rounds though it without a hitch using my 12.5" SBR upper?  And just to share with the class, yes it is scetchy to fire an AR without the buffer or anything back there
Total investment: $43 + an afternoon The plan is to do a kinda combination of these two builds by Proto Ordinance with the Fallout NV Service/Survivalist Rifle mixed in. It'll most likely be a 7.62x39 dissy, all wood furniture, exposed gas system, finned barrel, muzzle cone, and side charger A1 upper (yeah yeah yeah, weird but I think it'll be really punk rock )

Awesome! Needs more gears and gubbins, though. I was actually talking to a friend about one of these builds but haven't gotten the gumption to start.
Where'd you get the templates, or did you free fly it? |

Spacing is probably the issue. |
