***OFFICIAL Ingo Lower AR Build Thread***

[atvdave]

Just got my engraving done, hoping to get it all together this weekend.

Got-R-Done.....

 

[RustyHornet]

Who did the engraving? Looks nice!

 

[Yamadog35]

. . and can you let us know the process you used for your color fill?

 

[lovemywoods]

Very nice!

Really like the color fill work.

On the engraving I found a local gift shop at one of our malls here in Evansville to do it. I wish Indy Laser Engraving would come down to E-ville at one our gun shows, but no luck.

On the paint... there are 100's of you-tube videos on how to do it, but the best & easiest one I found was this one below. I've done 3 lowers like this with great results. However most will tell you to use non-acetone nail polish remover, but I have found that Hoppe's #9 gun solvent works much better & faster. Just have to take some care and not smear paint (ghosting). I also use cotton gun patched to clean the paint.

I will second the model paint and hoppes to clean it up. I have done a couple handguns and my Ingo lower as well.

How can I buy an INGO lower?

How can I buy an INGO lower?

As of right now, you can't! They were on sold out group buys. AFAIK, there aren't any more currently planned. I doubt there are any in the classifieds but you never know.

There have been a few in the classifieds.

Never mind all three have been sold.

I just got my upper in and now #219 has become an AR57. Just need to put sights and probably a reddot and will be good.

That's sweet.

2 questions, barrel length and hand guard length?

I'm looking at doing a similar setup and looking to have the barrel exposed just like you have it.

Thanks in advance

Cool! I've never seen or even heard of a 5.7 upper.

It take standard PS 90 mags that top load and the empty cases eject down through the magwell. Ive got a standard GI mag that I cut the lips off and took out the internals that will catch all 50 spent casings.

That makes it even cooler! Don't have to police your brass.

I'm almost there! I was a part of the first group buy, and just now got the last of the pieces. It's been a slow, slow process...

My only remaining steps are barrel torquing, front sight pinning, and gas tube... the big ones! I'm pretty nervous, and I lack some of the proper tools. Is there an ar build coming up, by chance? Or anyone in the area willing to help by chance? Thanks, ingo!
