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. === If you want to engage in manly pursuits with manly weapons, you should first acquire some manly tools and skills. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com My "manly skills" are sufficient for the task I've described. I have no need for a jig or drill press to build an 80% lower, and I don't want to waste a couple of weeks spraying, heating and curing a durable finish on the aluminum parts. My goal was to teach myself the innards of a nice rifle and then shoot it. I'll take your advice for what I think it is worth, which is, of course, nothing."It's always funny when a bankster makes ad hominem remarks."It's even funnier when the hominem in question responds with more bull**** to show his 'manliness'.===Especially when we all know that the hominem in question is nothingbut a pussy at heart.

Are we talking about Fat Harry? He has asserted that he is manly
enough to tinker with guns. The fact is there are many girls and
women that can out shoot him, and field strip guns, any day of
the week under any circumstances, including combat.

You're right. Fat Harry is a pussy, heart and soul.
