I finally did it!!!!


Recommended Posts

I have had the TGO lower sitting in the safe look at me every time I open the safe. I was at the show this weekend and found a builder there that built me a pistol upper for $275 otd. So I figured it was time to use the lower. I headed to another vendor that had complete blemished pistol tube and buffer for $20. I did not pick up a LPK because I figured I could find one for the same price at a LGS. I was running out of time so I passed on that and went home. I had some free time so I went to my new favorite shop and picked up a RRA LPK.

I got home and was a little tenitive to start on it because I had 4 kids to take care of and I usually only have 15ish mins before the Screams of daddy start. This was my first ever lower assembly, I figured it would take me longer my first time. I started by following a write up on how to assembly it, before I knew it I was done! I did learn 2 things: 1 take off rings before starting. 2. ARs are insanely easy to build!

I can't wait to start the next one. I will have pics up in the next day or so.

Awesome! I just built my first lower a little while ago. I think it's actually easier than an upper. One of these days I'll figure out what to do with my TGO set. I keep drawing a blank on what to build.

The hardest part of building a lower is dealing with roll pins, especially if you don't have the right tools. The TGO lowers are especially easy, because there are no roll pins.

My TGO upper and lower are still sitting. I bought a barrel, lower parts kit, furniture, and a gas tube. I was only a few parts away to get it built  and ran out of money. I'll get to it soon. I had kinda forgotten about it until your post. Can't wait to see your pics!

I'd never built an AR before my TGO lower either.  I bought a complete upper but the lower build was easy, even if I had to do it twice.  Now I just need to find time to go shoot it...

I'm slowly accumulating parts for my TGO build also. I plan on building a 300 Blackout rifle that I can hunt with if I want. I've got the LPK, buffer and butt-stock, and recently picked up an ARStoner stainless barrel...just got to get the rest of the upper parts and then optics. It'll be a while.

Very nice.  Not to hijack, but the 'wife's phone' reminded me of a funny story:

 

Used to live in NY state.  Had a company phone.  Left company, no longer had said phone.  Brother in law (in TN) texts me a photo of his new AR build, but mistakenly sends it to the old company phone number.  Gets phone call from NY State Police investigating harassing pics of a 'machine gun' being sent to a fearful libtard who took my place at the company.

I hope he has nightmares for the rest of his life.

Don't worry LI0NSFAN, you're not the only one. My TGO set is still sitting in the safe too...along with a couple of other stripped lowers. I have the LPKs for all of them, just haven't taken the time to build them.
