    Sounds like your off to a good start, took me months to find a decent priced LPK. I'm not familiar with RGuns stuff, but I'm sure it will work fine. Good luck with your build.

    You are doing better than I am. I purchased two stripped lowers in 2007, and still have yet to build anything on them. One was a POF Billet and the other was the ar15.com gulf coast group buy receiver that was laser engraved.

    i topped off my AR build by topping it with an optic this past friday. started with me getting 2 stripped lowers in the beginning of 2005. i sold one of them in 06, didn't have irons on the one i built so i could shoot it until this past summer. you've got time to catch up :p

    Bad night at the poker table gonna slow my build up a little. Next on my list is stock and grip so I can put the lower together, looking for tan color.

    i built my lower using a 12ga snap cap, some channel locks with the teeth taped, philips screwdriver, a small allen key as a punch and a small hammer. needlenose pliers help too and a credit card corner is an invaluable tool for holding springs in while needing to slide something over them and have the ability to slide the CC out of the way w/o losing the spring. don't be afraid to use painters tape to keep from marring stuff up. be patient, don't get frustrated, position yourself and the lower so if you do lose something that might get shot off by a spring, it'll get caught in a towel. yeah, dont put your extension nut on backwards like i did either.

    I went with black on my rifle so i can transfer it around easier. I have to be honest with you though, the AFG isnt a miricle tool for accuracy and comfort. I find a standard VFG works just as good with less training time. You really have to re-train your support hand to be any good with the afg
