My lower build kit finally got here! It went from Oakland, to San Pablo, to W. Sac, back to San Pablo, back to W. Sac, then to San Andreas for delivery. Ugh, lol.
JD Machine Lower
PSA LPK
Magpul MOE Grip, MOE Trigger Guard and MOE Stock...all in foliage green.
Raddlock Gen-X BB
The most PITA part is getting the bolt catch roll pin in. Wow. That was the only part of the assembly that I wouldn't mind never doing again, lol. I couldn't get it all the way in so it sits evenly across the gap, but the one side is at least flush with the receiver. Probably creating panic by not being able to describe it very well. Psst...I promise it's not going anywhere!
No extra Chinese parts either!
All that was left was the real mag release button and it's spring. The MOE stock does have the "wiggles" as some have pointed out, but it really isn't bad at all (that's coming from an OCD person). Nothing that I wouldn't expect from something that simple slides over something else. Once the stock touches your shoulder with any amount of felt pressure, the wiggles are gone. Glad I saved $75 by going with the MOE instead of the CTR. Just need to order a CAR wrench from RifleGear when I get my upper from them so I can tighten the buffer tube castle nut.
Anyways, pictures, right? I followed the CalGuns OLL Build Guide, and this is what I ended up with:
Nothing crazy to see here, but thanks for looking and the help in deciding what to get!!! Also, a big thanks for the assembly write-up so us first-timers can do this the right way!!!
