I picked this rifle up because it was cheap, and I had intended on building my son a starter rifle so it worked out. But polymer is not my first choice for a rifle build. I'm going to put a better lower together so I can engrave it with his name and birthdate. I want him to have a family heirloom not something he can sell for beer money and smokes when he's in college (he is my boy after all :lmfao:) But the point of the tread was to show that you can put a good rifle together on a budget, with very little tooling. Now to see how it shoots and how the lower holds up to the rigors of being a tool in my hands. :lmfao: I think the lower won't last too long but it might. Of course it never will be an ak so...... I'm.. I mean my boy is gonna do his best to break it.

You should get that headspace checked if it's for your son.

The space between the bolt face and a predetermined line in the chamber. Too much and the gun goes boom not bang.

I just assumed he was a dumb ass.

But Bull shitting aside, what tools did you use to install the barrel? I'm assuming a torque wrench but I didn't read that in your list of tools you used. I'm just wondering what tools I would need to buy if I decided to build an upper.

Armors wrench and a torque wrench but there isn't much point in building your own upper its cheaper to buy it built.

For the record, headspace is set on an AR15 barrel at the factory when they press on the barrel extension.

Fantastic right?

What if you buy your own barrel and install it yourself?

And that right there is why you only buy quality parts from a reputable dealer.

A fucking retard could build one.  Just look at Gay Patriot.

Seriously, though, GAP knows more about firearms than anybody ever ever met and talked to, not to mention knows how to basically build them from scratch.  He could walk into a hardware store and come out with some shit that would make a functioning firearm, probably slam-fire open bolt full auto, but you get the point. 

When I have a question, I call him.

Well I started this tread and apparently there were a shit ton of comments. But here is the ar in question as assembled with countless rounds down range. The optics and mount came with the kit I got.

So the remote on the right controls the on/off switch on the assembly machine?
