I may just go with something simple like this.

Where is the dip stick ?

Can't miss him. He's wearing a white shirt.

Left eye dominant....that explains a lot.

The hood ornament and key ring are touches of genius. I'd almost consider some kind of rail-mounted hood ornament. But the fella really needs more lights on that rifle.

Like a hood ornament for a Mack truck.

I've always thought a Mercedes hood ornament would be perfect at the end of a long rail.  It would make a great front sight...blacked out of course.

Don't pay any attention to him. He makes fun of midgets too. He's a mean man  :rofl:

Hmmm, needs more cowbell.

Do we have an ETA on these yet? Last I heard was "in time for Christmas".

I'm putting mine together right now.

[mikegideon]

I broke one of mine with my trusty framing hammer. I gotta get better tools

[Fourtyfive]

Man i thought i burned that picture...

[RED333]

Who needs hammers or rocks. I just use my fingers to push the roll pins in.

I helps a lot if ya drill out the holes first, then they just slip in.

[Fourtyfive]

But these lowers don't take roll pins ......maybe your gas block ?

That was a big swing and a miss ! Edited October 27, 2013 by Threeeighty

It ain't an AR until you hit it with a hammer. I don't care how new fangled you get :)

Seriously, I intend to build mine in the general profile of an M16. This sight seems to have most of the parts I will need.

I don't know if you'll be happy with that. It's not going to look true to form with a billet lower. Not that there's anything wrong with retro. I finished an A2 not long ago. No way I would have used a billet lower, even if I had one sitting in the safe.

Were you using one of those waffle headed Estwing framing hammers? If not, you weren't using the right tool for the job.

[mikegideon]

I have an Estwing hatchet. That should work.

x2 what Mike said^ the lines on these uppers and lowers aren't going to lend themselves well to building an A2 rifle. If I was going to build an A2 and had another AR in the safe, I would move the billets over to that rifle and use the forged for the A2 build. Of course that's my opinion and I have nothing concrete to base that on, plus a "retro meets modern" rifle might be cool..
