Well, I assembled the upper for my new .308, including checking the
headspace with a borrowed "go/no go" kit and pinning the gas tube/block
assembly. Going to drop it off at my buddy the gunsmith's place today
for him to check over my work. Compared to the "bare, naked" lower,
assembling an upper is pretty easy. If the weather sucks this
weekend, I'll start on the lower.

If you really want to challenge yourself and impress your gunsmith
friend, build it with an 80% lower.
I don't have the particular skills, drill press and other tools needed
to finish an 80% lower. Besides, the gunsmith buddy is already
impressed with me, because I tutored his kid for three months for free
and helped the kid go from the equivalent of a C- in English to a solid
B and to raise his score more than 100 points on the SAT Reading Test
and Writing and Language Test. I also helped him start to lose his
southern redneck speaking patois and use more standard English.
Hopefully, he will continue developing his skills and put them to
good use in college.
Harry, you really need one of these. I'm worried about your rotator cuff.
