Wow, what a day yesterday/today. Left for work 1545, picked up my new lower from my FFL on the way. Worked all night, got home 0555. Pulled up the instructions on the 'u-build-it' forum, found a screwdriver, pliers, tape. Put together the lower, attached the upper....voila my first AR15 time finished:0735. Man this isn't as hard as I was worried it was.Lower: Superior ($85 shipped from Kiser) + $25 FFL Upper: Lightweight flattop 16" CAR ($489 shipped from J&T Dist) Sight: A2 clone ($24 shipped Ebay) .....I know but I ran out of $$$ for now Total: $623 all brand new.....  To top it all off, today is my birthday!!! Happy birthday to me  I have pics, but don't know how to put them on here... can someone e-mail me the easiest way... I am not very comp-literate Mike ETA: pics      Note the toes are present |
I think you did quite well. The only comments I will make, I think you could have done better on the price of the upper. |

Thanks everyone...BRD is great!!! The socks ARE NEW, that was only the third time I wore them, oh well what do you expect for $1.99/3pair??? Getnlwr: The $489 is for the whole kit... upper, bcg, stock, and lower parts set. Delton was a few $ cheaper ($8) but their shipping ate into that, and I really liked Nick at J&T he took a lot of time to answer my Questions....I had a bunch I also got 300 rnds of the Ultramax from Midway while they had the "spend $150 get $20 off" christmas sale on. Also in the box came: power measure, calipers, dies.... But dang, I didn't realize I need the powder charger die too!!!  Well I guess I need to make some 'empty' brass first anywayThis morning I gave it a cleaning to get rid of the manufacturing crud, did a mechanical function check, went out in the back-yard(13 acres) and made '1 empty brass' Everything works !!!!!!
