Went to the fun shop today to pick this up.
Going to be a while before I get it complete. You can't tell, because it's obviously a shitty phone camera pic, but it's a Bushmaster stamped 6.8mm. The start of my first AR-15. DrJester got me hooked. Hope to have it built quickly - honestly don't know how long it'll take to complete. |
Cool!
Don't forget to use the "Build it yourself" forum for alot of great tips. http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=3&f=4 |

Quoted: I've been assured by many - and I believe I even posted the question in the ar-15 section. That it's going to be the upper and the barrel. This will work as a 5.56/.223 AR-15. Correct. I have a Stag 6.8 marked lower on my .22lr AR15, no problems at all. It's actually a nice lower, there is absolutely no play whatsoever between the Stag lower and the Colt flat side upper. |

Nice! Just be careful when installing the bolt catch roll pin and the trigger guard roll pin. Everything else is simple. tape, and channel locks work well. and use a big white garabe bag while putting in the Detent Pins. I did after the 1st 20min in the carpet looking, before I realize my DoulbeStar lower parts kit had extras |

I did after the 1st 20min in the carpet looking, before I realize my DoulbeStar lower parts kit had extras noted - I've put pretty detailed model kits together that had tiny metal screws and parts. I'm pretty experienced with going through carpet with a fine tooth come to find them again. my question is, once I get them in, are they going to stay in? Or should I wait till I have all the parts of my ar-15 build to get started? |
