[Suprtek]

It's too early in the morning to have a nap.

Well, Supr, I hope that your lunch is at least recognizable.

If its that bad I'll just have my wife smuggle something in for me.

Good morning HP, V8.

I have a question for you V8, really 2.
Was you at the Deer Expo at the fairgrounds yesterday about 3? Never met you, but saw someone that looked like your posted pics.
2nd, when you mate the upper to your AR lower, I know that you push out the front & rear pins, then slide them back in. My question is, should the hammer be cocked or not?

 

[SEIndSAM]

Good morning Gary. Got a shipping confirmation that my AR upper shipped from PSA. UPS says it will be here Tuesday.

1. Nope, I was not there yesterday must've been my double

2. I always have the hammer cocked when I take it a part. I think its easier because you don't have to worry about the hammer being up and in the upper. If you take out the rear pin first though and rotate the upper straight up I'm not sure if it matters. However, if the hammer is down without the upper on it, it will put pressure on the bolt catch lever that it normally doesn't have.

Yep, I will be ready to go by next weekend. Got two ammo cans of XM855LC 62 grain ammo & the upper coming Tuesday, already got my scope last week and the scope mount & bipod will be delivered Thursday. Boy, I hope the weather is nice next weekend.

Don't run for the hills Gary, the last time I was at the range, I hit the earthen berm every time.
