I just got done undertaking a project to complete an AR15 (actually a 16" M4 clone). I bought a stripped lower receiver and a parts kit and assembled it myself. With a Democratic controlled congress, a possible Democrat presidency, and a AWB renewal submitted earlier this month, I figured it was time. Purchased mostly with funds from my parents for graduating college. Now to purchase a 6.8 upper and use it for deer hunting (or custom load some Barnes TSX bullets). HI-RES

Things take time, especially when you have lots of choices to make. I assembled the whole lower in under 30 minutes, minus having to construct my own detent pins (yay for complete parts kits!). Not bad considering I've never seen the innards of an AR first hand. Field stripping takes no time.

Yep, we'd all be sad if the grass died due to an ND. Got to shoot it for the first time today. Ah, I'm in love all over again.

I'm on the same track. Buy while you can... while we still have rights.
