Anyone want to help me assemble a lower?

[slacker]

My delton kit finally arrived and I want to get this thing built. I am sure that I can handle following the ar15.com directions, however I have no tools.

I tried using a screw driver as a hammer and its just not working out

Anyone around the west side of Indy want to help a fellow ingo'er out by lending punches / small hammer / any special sauce tools you might have, or by meeting up with me somewhere.

I live right near Marion county fish and game so we could meet up there or anywhere else that works better for you!

I don't have much to offer, but I can do computer stuff / networking and I always come prepared with some frosty cold Sam Adams

Thanks,
Zac

Hmmm...smells like an AR Build Party.

I'm more than happy to "teach" you, my place, my tools, no charge..

Id love to watch if it turns out to be a group build. I need to learn more about my rifles

I'm on the west side (also proximate to MCFG) and have tools and mad skillz, yo. Hit me off list if you want to work something out.

I can show you if the others fall through.

When did you order your LPK? I have been backordered for awhile now.

I ordered November 8th

you really don't need the fancy tools and punches they say. I got a nail puch set for $3 at Menards which worked perfect, and a rubber/resin face mallet hammer for about $5. Put my lower together perfectly with those tools, and not one single scratch on the receiver.
I am now working on my upper, which will require me to get a barrel/stock wrench for about $15, and a torque wrench for about $25.
If you want some help putting that together, I'm on the west side of Indy, usually have nothing better to do than look at gun stuff on here.

sounds like the start of another group build day.

Looks like I am meeting up with JcJ on Saturday. Thanks for all the offers though! INGO is a great place!

If I would have saw this earlier I would have posted, I am right over by fish and game, and off work all week. If you or anyone else needs any help feel free to ask, Ive built about 5 of them to date. Mike and I have one tool that can be used to attach a buttstock but no barrel wrench, or barrel vice brace

You can do it very easily with tools that you already have. You really just need a pair of needle nose pliers, Hammer and screwdriver. If you tape up your hammer and lower when setting the bolt release pin, you won't cause any damage (scratches). Check out the free videos at Brownells. They will walk you through the steps. You'll be amazed at how easy and simple it is. Just take your time and follow the steps.

First post said he had, "no tools." Not sure if we are to take that literally, or whether he meant, no "special" tools. I can't imagine building one with nothing but my bare hands.

 

[Bronsonbull]

Okay, if he doesn't have pair of needle nose pliers, Hammer and screwdriver.

I would recommend that he buys those first before building any AR.

So if he only has his bare hands, then buy a hammer before an AR

I don't actually own a hammer

Never really needed one either. Apartment living kind of sucks, no place to store stuff, no place for a work bench, annoying neighbors that complain about nothing...

 

[JcJ]

I'm going to send you home with a hammer, everyone needs a hammer, or ten....

You can get an LPK for $65 from M&A Parts - at your door in 4 days.

I can verify that. I ordered one on Monday and received it Wednesday.

Wow, those videos are pretty slick. I knew I could put together a lower, but now I'm convinced I can do an upper as well.
