Re: First Firearm Thread.
You will love it.
I have tried both the J loop and the over the belt loop and seem to like the over the belt better. Best is the one you have to put belt throu it but no one you can readily put in and out of concealment/pants. It's with you until you unbuckle your belt.

It's a plain Jane century wasr. All I could really float right now. Bought it local. Has none of the issues than arise from time to time with the brand. No sight base cant and the mags fit pretty well.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
I just want to openly thank Mark C and lostark374 for posting the links to slickguns and gunbot, respectively. I have spent the last three months checking those sights constantly. I picked up a lot of ammo at reasonable prices thanks to gunbot. And yesterday (drumroll please) I orderd my first AR lower receiver complete kit! Not my first AR, mind you, but my first project build. I actually have some extra uppers that I've been swapping around on the same lower but I want to have complete rifles eventually.
It looks reasonably straight forward to assemble one from what I've been able to research. Any tips or suggestions would be welcome though. I'll post pictures when I get it and hopefully as the build progresses. |

You're welcome! I've got more ammo than time to shoot, happy to share the links I found this link useful for building the lower. Some tips: Be careful not to scratch the finish. Installing the bolt catch assembly seems to be the highest risk of a scratch. Try taping up the side of the lower and/or your tools to prevent that, and go slow. The front pivot pin install is a royal pain because the detent pin has a habit of launching itself into oblivion. There are lots of different ways to do it without the fancy tool shown in the link above, I used a razor blade to hold it down while I slid the pivot pin in place. Watch some videos for this step to get the idea. Also try doing the work with the lower, your hands, and tools all inside a large clear plastic bag, that way WHEN the pin launches itself, it's captured in the bag. That trick saved me a lot of four letter words at least twice. The rest is a piece of cake. |

Finally cut the weld off that held the stupid muzzle nut on the ak. Ordered up a tapco muzzle brake for it.

Due to current climate, I can neither confirm nor deny...
