    A quick AAR:

    There were a lot less people there than I anticipated, and of those, only about half a dozen guys actually built anything. It was nice to see some familiar faces I hadn't seen in awhile, as well as meet some new folks. With able (or a resonable facsimile thereof) assistance from bigcraig, me, VUPDblue and Brad from Civilian Defense Co., I think everybody got their lowers together and functional. Hopefully even the people who didn't build learned some things and had some fun. And somebody, God bless 'em, brought a big bucket of homemade cookies. I was happy. :D

    Thanks to VUPDblue for organizing this event, and to MCF&G for hosting it.

    A BIG :+1:

    I really enjoyed meeting everyone and drooling over the big (and small) beautiful black (and white) tools strewn about all over!!! I very much appreciate BigCraig and everyone for all your help! I would never have figured that out on my own but I now feel that I could having put my first together. This was a priceless event and I learned a lot.

    We should do things like this more often. Call it public education of firearms and such.

    I had a great time and wish I could have stuck around to shoot. Maybe next time.

    Very nice pics btw!!

    Had a great time meeting folks and learning how to assemble a lower. I am thankful for those who hosted, instructed with builds, provided tools and ogling EBRs, cookies, parts, and putting more faces with names.:bow:
    Thanks!


    Also: If anyone found a tiny ziplock bag with some detents and springs (the lower parts I can't install until buffer tube) please PM me.:n00b:

    Sounds like you guys had a good time and learned a lot. Regrets that I couldn't be there. Still no word on when my kit will ship, but I'm trying my hardest to be patient!!!

    I did have fun today, though. Got a last minute invite to the Colts game!

    It was GREAT to meet everyone, and thanks to all who helped out, and especially those who brought reasonably priced parts for those of us who needed to do some repair and replacements!

    A BIG THANKS to everyone!
