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.

If you want to engage in manly pursuits with manly weapons, you should
first acquire some manly tools and skills.

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 nothing
but a pussy at heart.

I'm not sure a bankster's "research" to redline a neighborhood
qualifies as toughness...it's more like racism. Isn't that what you
did, W'hiner?

===

Not even close but believe what you want. It matters not to me.

I do know however, that if you borrow money from a bank and fail to
pay it back, they will make your life miserable. Isn't that what
happened to you, 'Airree? You should try to get your credit score up
to at least your IQ level, preferably higher. And maybe clean up some
of those outstanding tax liens.

Once again, I have had the *same* good relationship with my current bank
and its several predecessors for decades. It's been such a long time,
I'm not even sure I can remember the name of the original bank before it
was "flipped" several times to new corporate whores.

Oh, btw, how many modern sporting rifles have you assembled from 80%
lowers. I'd bet...none.

Maybe, most of us are not the gun nuts you are. So why build a rifle?

Well, if you want to clean and maintain a modern sporting rifle
properly, it helps to know how it all goes together, and I think
building one is a good teacher. Many of the pieces'n'parts may be
upgraded if you want.

Sort of titillating huh?
Makes your little heart go pitty pat.

I consider it a learning experience.
