Step by step video on how to build your lower receiver (Page 2 of 3)
Between eating dinner, chasing down a dropped detent, dealing with a bent roll pin punch and then a bent detent spring, it took a lot longer than the 23:41 vid, but I got it done! Thanks a bunch! 
12/31/14 Update: Finally took it to the range yesterday, and it worked!

Thanks NSZ,
Great video! Just built up my 1st lower, and I'm stoked! It took longer to watch the video than it did to do the work. While I did NOT scratch the receiver, getting in the bolt release retaining pin was probably the hardest part. All in all, a cake walk -- |

Thanks for a great video. Built my first lower today, it took me 45 minutes, mainly because I couldn't set my laptop down by my bench and had to keep pausing the video and running back and forth to the living room through each step. The utility knife trick for the detent worked great, nailed it first try with no unscheduled launchings. I won't have any trouble swapping out the FCG later either if I'm not happy with the current one.
Now I have 3 more to build out and can't wait until the parts come in. |
| Love all your videos. I have used them several times and its especially nice to see someone who takes pride in not only building quality rifles but also great documentation for the purpose of helping others. Much respect to you and please keep em coming, I'll watch just to watch. |
Great video, worked excellent for me.  It's been about seven and a half years since I built my first AR so I definitely needed a refresher!

I'm sure it's been said tons before, but thank you for this video. I've tinkered with the AR before but have always been into other platforms more. I took it upon myself to build up a new rifle from lower up to see if I can get into this one more. The video was great. Answered all my questions. Assembled the whole thing with a wooden mallet/hammer, a screwdriver, and a couple allen wrenches.
Wish I had my punch set handy, but I'll get at it later to tap those in a bit more. I did make a couple marks getting the bolt catch pin in place, but that was my fault for only using 1 layer of tape
If anyone had any doubts about it, this is a great video to watch and follow. |

A few days ago I didn't know a thing about AR-15's and now I have ordered everything I need to build my first lower for my first AR-15 pistol.
With this being said, I searched around the web for some real good tutorial videos on how to build my lower. Your video was one of 2 videos which I have been watching many times over, as I await my parts. The other video being this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sbCGW7Pqbc4 I thank you for a great tutorial, well videoed with a great narration. And I also want to thank the author of the other video. Both have been of great assistance to me and are very well appreciated for your time & patience it takes to produce, in addition to your willingness to assist others. Jobs well done....... |
