2011 DFWmustangs.net lower group buy

[KBScobravert]

I have a few other tips that I have already made threads about. Do a search by name here in the armory. There is one using a 1/4" clevis pin for the front take down pins. And another trick I learned from a member here of taping the rear of the receiver for a set screw to hold the spring in for the rear take down.

easiest thing to do for the bolt catch is to get it started then use vise grips with tape on the jaws to squeeze it in. Just squeze, release, tighten the grips and squeze again, then repeat until flush. Use a punch to tap the last little bit.

This method works great for the trigger guard also. Helps prevent breaking the ear off.

This is the method i used. And it works great.

Nope, I just had to buy a set of punches ($5 for a set of 8 at Harbor Freight).
Just watched the video on youtube and that's all I needed.

Although the one thing I learned was 1 longer punch would be perfect for tapping in the bolt catch pin. I bet I can do the next one in a few minutes.

Jeff,

There are multiple spots available on each time frame tonight, I know you asked for 24 hours advanced notice, and if it's alright with you I can be there at one of those slots.

Motoman,
That is fine, just put yourself on the schedule.

[David]

Thats a ton of lowers.

Whats the scoop on the upper GB? Mfg, quality, etc.

[motoman]

If there aren't any times that fit your schedule, continue to check the spreadsheet as I will be adding days as we go until I have delivered them all.

On spread sheet it says schedule "24 hours in advance", there is an open spot tonight (Friday 4/15/2011 7:15pm) If possible I would really like to pick up then even though it's not 24 hours in advance since I am off today.

Those look GOOD! Any issues with assembly?

Okay, the parts kits just came in today, so everyone whenever you're ready, go ahead and schedule yourself to pick up your parts. There is an upper receiver there at Jeff's house you can look over and decide if you're interested in another group buy for uppers at $50 each.

We will also be doing a barrel, and BCG group buy in the next month from a different distributor. Both 5.56mm barrels and 6.8mm barrels will be available.

Very cool man. Thanks for the update! I'll be in on the barrels for sure.

If no one posts pics by tonight i'll do it after i get home with mine.

[Mr_Fiux]

Got mine. I've never had a lower before so I can't compare it to anything.

I assembled a lower tonight after picking up a punch set from
Harbor freight today.

Everything is great and jeff was excellent to deal with.

Pics or it didn't happen

All the parts kits are in, the upper receiver for the next GB is there for you to take a look at, and we're short exactly 78 lowers, which I'm hoping surplusammo gets in before we run out of the 200 we currently have.

So, has anyone picked up their lowers? I know a few of you guys have - how do they look?
