AR Newbie first AR and build

[Jimb]

Is that lower milled? Very nice.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Looking good! Wish I had the skills and tools you do.

Thank you.
Yes, it was a billet 80%. I used a mill to do the engraving. I used Jigs to do the rest of the machining.

 

[AllenM]

Looking good.
I see you are in Plainfield, if you want help putting color on this when you are ready I would be glad to help.

 

[Deene Vanmeter]

Jeremy, just curious, what software are you programing with. I am a machinist/ toolmaker also and am always interested. Thanks

That is my plan. I have a couple of ideas for it.

I use Delcam / Autodesk PowerMill for CAMing. I use their PowerShape software to for the CAD portion.

I would get a metal lower but this is your first build so have at it. AR's are like Legos you will change stuff over time.

This lower with jigs was $115. Big brother doesn't know that I have them unless they do some work. I like to make things. I hope you follow this and like what I come up with.

Brother knows it now. And whey will be watching you build it if you keep posting about it.

Patriot brown Cerakote.

 

[Just Jeremy]

Mooolan Labe.

...and the full assy. Allen M. did a nice job with the Cerakote.

 

[AllenM]

Looks good.
Glad you did the hand guard brown too

Nice work . Just a little fyi ARs are like the Tribbles from the old Star Trek . At some point when you open the kitchen pantry they will come tumbling out . They just somehow multiply

Love the brown cerakote. I'm getting ready to do my first build once the INGO lowers come in. I've seen the firing pin sold separately on various websites, but is this normally included with the BCG or in the lower parts kit?

I bought a bolt carrier group. I came with the firing pin. A firing pin will not be in a lower parts kit.

Here is the BCG I bought:
Bolt Carrier Groups : M16/4 Full-Auto BCG - No Hammer

Me too, that was good advice. Thanks again.
