Got a call today letting me know my lower receiver came in.  Went and picked it up and couldn't wait to assemble it.
This was my first time building an AR and other than a few nicks I think it came out great! Lower when I picked it up, http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4752/stagpackage.jpg Upper Half that was waiting to be matched to lower. http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5169/upperhalf.jpg The Finished Build! http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6833/rightofrifle.jpg http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1966/angledshotofgun.jpg I had trouble putting the bolt catch roll pin in.

That's really nice... How do you like the MBUS? I'm not sure if I love it or hate it... The external shape of the aperture is square... And it makes the ring look sort of funny. I guess I would get used to it... But it is the biggest reason I am reluctant to buy one... PS: Nice job with the clone stamp (Or did you use healing brush...? Looks like clone stamp.) on the SN... I almost didn't notice. |

I almost didn't notice. This being my first AR I can't compare the MBUS to other BUIS, but me presonally, I like it. When I look through the aperture I don't really notice the square outer shape so it doesn't bother me at all. It feels pretty sturdy and goes up and down very nice. And I used the healing brush.

You know.... If you had taken the healing brush after those nicks around the bolt release... You could have impressed everyone with your mad skillz.

Haha very nice. You see, if I had done that then it wouldn't be my rifle that I'm proud of building, even with the nicks and dings in it!

As I was putting together the bolt catch got a couple nicks.  Whats this healing pen? are you refering to the magic marker thats all I can think of. Dammit it doesn't match the spikes color.I wanna cry.
NJSTINKSWhat we were talking about was a healing brush tool in Photoshop to enhance/touch-up pictures. If you are looking to get rid of the nicks in your rifle I would suggest looking at aluminum black. Such as located Here. |
