INGO AR15 Build Party 1/27/2013!!!!

[dubsac]

It was definitely fewer people that I expected. I was, however, a complete first timer.

Many thanks to all who helped, especially Mr. Bobcat Steel himself (shameless plug).

Kimball, I intended to pay you for that set screw too and I spaced it. I'll buy ya a coke at the next 1500 or something.

have you priced soda's at the 1500

I had never seen that set screw trick but it makes since and Ill prob do it on my next build.

techres...I was in the black hat & at your left hand thru much of the day. I have never seen the innermost parts of an AR & found the day useful. Thanks to all who answered my various questions.

You are welcome. I swear my build went better last time and it's all the lower's fault...

Spent the last hour making it worse and then got it back to... acceptable.

When parts free up I am going to do a new safety spring, detent and lever.

Don't get discouraged folks! The low turnout had to be at least partly due to parts availability and pricing. I know I would have been there otherwise, maybe with a tag along or two.

I blame the low turnout on a distinct lack of lovemywoods' homemade cookies.

Hmmmm, food was needed huh??? I might be convienenced to bake a few things if you guys don't mind an ole lady looking on and asking a bunch of questions next time.


Just saw the pictures, and there were ladies there

INGO Is great, they never exclude the ladies

Looked like fun. Had the upper, but no barrel. Next time.

 

[jontheturboguy]

lets do this again in the spring when the prices return to normal (hope.)

Ill even bring my tig welder and give a tig welding clinic free for all that build a lower.

That way y'all will know how to tig "other" lowers in the future

Sounds like it went well even though it was smaller than expected. I'm sad I had to miss it, though as mentioned its crazy here after getting everyone back in the US for the year. Though got crazier, woke up Saturday to fine 3 kids and wife in varies states of colds, not and easy weekend to get through. Luckly I don't get sick easy.

I'll have to mark the next build party on the calendar, I still have lowers that need building. Plus its funny helping people build their first AR.
