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.

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.

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.

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.
