It is a flat top, I installed the detachable carry handle it already. The lower from Anvil Arms. I also got a Ergo Grip replacement for the standard grip shown.

This finish is a little different, I think, but it is not as obvious as the picture shows. The lower is dry, no oil, the upper has a nice coat of oil on it.

Next step, putting it together. Might use the vice grip, turning the knob technique.

Congrats on finally getting it, you had been waiting a while hadn't you?

Enough out of you.

December 30th. In it for $725. Probably could have paid $60 bucks less on the stripped lower, but I guess I like to buy things at the peak of pricing.

I did the same thing with my lower

All I need now is the complete barreled upper to complete my build. I am torn between the M4 style and the midlength handguards. I am leaning towards the mid like yours. I think it would be a little better if I ever use it to hunt with.

I like it. Looks great!

I figured that would happen, but it's fine with me .

I hope the prices go even lower.

Ok, some updated pics of the AR, with new and improved trigger....

I did manage to launch the pivot pin across the room, bounce off my computer bag and land on the floor, thanks to my wife, we found it. One issue with putting hammer/hammer spring assembly in correctly, didn't position the spring correctly so it would not fire....The way the spring bends and the pressure you have to put on it, doesn't seem right...it is. Putting the Hammer pin in was not hard, but it was a bit of a PIA to get everything all lined up, especially when it was in wrong. No shots of the actual build, those would not be that exciting. I used the ar15 website, there is a "build your own" thread that has a great write up. So here is the finished product. The grip is an Ergo Crip. Nice upgrade.

What trigger did you put in it?

[Guest db99wj]

That curved one in the pic....oh wait, just kidding.

It is Del Ton's standard trigger.

[strickj]

What is that,a pink flip flop?

Nice!

[Guest db99wj]

Yep, closest thing I could find to support the lower while I hammered a pin in!! Don't tell my 10yr old.
