Well. my foray into the AR-15 world just came to a screeching halt. I completed my Del-Ton stripped lower with the parts kit but the US economy (and my DW's income) has abrubtly stalled.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can make the most of my time with my new lower assembly lubricating, tweaking, or otherwise optimizing it until my ship comes in and I can actually buy a buttstock...

Wow, I was just sitting here being annoyed by the back order on the last part I need to complete my build... I don't feel quite so annoyed any more.

Hope you get things going in your favor again soon, but don't dispair your not the only one staring are a perfectly good, almost complete rifle with no end in sight...

Edit: They still pay well for plasma donations

I know yer pain, too. I'm sitting here looking at a box containing brand-spanking-new buttstock, handguard, MIAD, BUIS, and Pmags, and no lower or upper to put them on. (As six weeks may well turn into seven, then eight, then nine...) I got everything paid for. It's just NOT HERE YET! Dammit.

IMHO it will do wonders for your trigger.

How can I help? What stock do you need? I have a like new, standard M-4 collapsible (just the stock) not the receiver extension, spring, castle nut or buffer.

I'll send you it to help through the economic hard times.

IM me.

Pay it forward

Get yourself a the tube from a roll of paper towels, some duck tape and some black paint. Paint the tube, attach with duct tape to your lower. Now work on your cool laser/phaser sounds and you are good to go until you can afford other parts.

HAHA, so im not the only one that will be using my ECONOMIC STIMULUS completely for firearm related purchases.

I feel for you all, but look at the bright side: At least YOU already have the part that will make the rifle. I am in the process of looking, but will have to wait before I am even allowed to buy that. Mayby I can steal the $100+ from the stimulus pakage money to buy one, but I doubt I will be allowed.
