How do these AR Build Parties get started?  I am overseas and want to get together and meet some of the DFW crew and put together a couple rifles that I am ordering parts for.

Plenty of time till April but is there anyone else doing a build around that month also?

I am doing a build in January if you are back by then.  And by build I just mean I am putting together the lower half, it will be my first time to do it though so I wouldn't mind having some more experienced guys around while I try.

I don't really care, I am still looking for a stripped lower but once I do that I am ready to build.  I am in Fort Worth what about ya'll?

That should give me plenty of time to finish my current build and pick up a stripped receiver for an April Build Party  Hopefully this next one will be a SPR type!

I would be up for this. Im currently getting parts together for my first AR, but will have everything for the lower by then.

SPR is one of my upcoming builds, will actually be my first build.  Planning on doing another 16" also.

I should post my list of parts for the SPR to get opinions on my choices.

I need to get a good FFL who will accept a few lowers for me and hold them till I can do the transfer in person.  Looking at some POF 415s would like to get three of them but may start with two this time around.

Jon David Whitson, d.b.a. JDW Manufacturing Company, Inc., sells Shark Suppressors, and he also sells his own line of lowers (made for him by Superior Arms).  David is based in Plano, Texas, if that helps...

So - do people still want to do this?  Is there enough rifles to be built that people want to get together?

If so - we can do it at my place... sat 19th?  Sun 20th?

I am open for this event too..

This is great when we get folks together, reload, build rifles and just share knowledge and experience..

I love this place...

I was joking on my part Fal, it's a little far for me to drive to play with ARs......

I would like to attend if there is room.  I have built a few AKs, but dont have any ARs yet.  I would like to learn a bit more about them from those in the know, as opposed to reading conflicting opinions on the internet.

[#19]
Whats your location?  Isn't it south DFW, or out east?

I'd be interested in attending.  I'm wanting to put an upper together, but don't have a vice or an armorers block and or any other necessary tools here.

Thinking about something like the LaRue Stealth... not 100% yet.

I'll help out - I dont have a build to do but I have all the tools and portable vise to handle any normal build.

I dont have a place to host it all but if you guys can come up with a time and a place I should be able to bring my stuff for you to use.

Plano.  Everyone would be welcome to come.  I have all the tools necessary.

WoW, Sure would be nice to get an LWOP and make it to put my stuff together this build party.  Don't think that will be a wise descision, besides I need Denny's to open so I can drop some hard earned money tomorrow.  Buying two builds less lowers, a SPR and a 16".

I didn't think that a build party would go together that fast, I will have to keep the board up to date when it is closer to me getting home in April.

Hope you guys have a good time.  

Now to give Denny my order and wait.

Well lets postpone it for a while then.  I have an AR10 barrel I need to get threaded for a supressor, when it comes back, I will be ready to assemble it.... that should be a good starter.  I'll post back when it gets finished.... see where people are at.  If anyone wants to build theirs before then, and would like some help, just shoot me an IM.

I would be up for this. I want to take the FF off my 458 Socom and replace with a standard forearm setup.
