I bought a stripped Mega lower receiver (Ambi). It came with the roll pin for the bolt release installed and came with a detent and a large screw in a separate bag. Do you have any idea what thats for?
@pinhigh8iron
I don't place my tools on pedestals
it looks like the lower receiver was run over by a truck.what were you doing to it?
im a noob when it comes to buffers, and buffer tubes, and stuff…. so would this carbine buffer: bravocompanyusa(dot)com/Carbine-Buffer-p/buffer%20carbine.htm work with a 16'' ar-15 with a milspec stock?
not trying to spam just asking
@GunWebsites I might have been mistaken, but I do know that there are vice blocks that fit in the magazine well, and those would probably help as well.
@AnimeFanatic5602
Well the blocks are good for working on the barrel, or adding free float handguards.. but I don't use a block for assembling the lower and FCG parts
I know that there are blocks that you can buy to help with assembling the lower receiver from scratch (I think that they fit into a vice).
I find it very good to build a rifle at least once. You really get to know your rifle much better that way. ARs are a bit tricky though. Of those that I have built, I find the gas system to always be a pain. It is very touchy about getting everthing just right or it will flat out refuse to work.
Good job on this series. Keep em coming.
Great video
@naggingmanity1739
do you think there are parts for these anywhere?
@m18perez
Yup, I liked their vids
But compare them to an actual assembly DVD where a trained armorer / instructor walks you through it.
@excelerater
Doh.. true.. maybe they will make them into a video game somehow and they might be able to relate, LOL
ITS tactical has a great series on how to build an AR
@Mo7Vsta
about an hour I guess, but I am rusty (haven't built one in in a while)
can you show us how to build a magpul ACR masada pppppllllllllllssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
How long did it take you to build completely?
BCM Goodness!
BCM Stripped Uppers have been OOS for Months! gaa, I had to settle for a goddam Spike's Tactical. Yeah, I know I just lost awesome points for that.
@Turdstomper1
depends ..
@M4CARBINE556
it's not the length of the grip, it's how well you use it
@GunWebsites oh i see, must be hard just waiting to get the last parts to finally put it together, i would be too pumped.
★★★★★
How much money do you save by building this yourself?
@2121gcard
It took a long time to save up for this one, and I collected the parts over time (and on sale)
What's the point of the short pistol grip? I can't think of any reason for it.
*makes an innuendo involving the term "lower parts"*
wish i had the money to do a build like this one
gavintoobe has a great build instruction video's for .223/5.56 and 308
@willmarano2
A porno movie of gun love.
love that short pistol grip
Why fast forward thru the assembly? That is the part most of us want to see!
@SpiritofAdventure22
lol
Nice video, you can definitely tell the difference between a gun put together by a idiot, a common sense person , and someone trained how to do it.
@GunWebsites haha, I watch GunWebsites first, then pro DVD 🙂
@ArtisanTony
Yea, I have seen a lot of innocent mistakes made by non-professionals who assemble firearms.
And since there could be the potential for the firearm (and someones freedom) to be focused on in court, we suggest a professional armorer be consulted about any assembly, modification and / or repairs
@willmarano2
gun porn..
LIke,FAve my job is done
What? Watch a professional DVD? wtf 🙂
@GunWebsites
No one cares you noo…oh sorry! D:
