Well, I assembled the upper for my new .308, including checking the
headspace with a borrowed "go/no go" kit and pinning the gas

assembly. Going to drop it off at my buddy the gunsmith's place

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.

Let's see. Earlier you told us that some landscaping guy you hired
spontaneously and unilaterally just "happened" to proudly show
you his naturalization papers. Funny. Never heard of a naturalized
citizen carrying their papers around showing them to everyone without
being asked.

Now you tell us you're a modern day Professor Henry Higgins
transforming
a male version of Eliza Doolittle in culture, speech and the arts. To
think ... born the son of a gunsmith of all things.

Amazing.

No. Try reading for content. When I first met the guy, he showed me
his green card. We talked over the years about his working and
waiting for the opportunity to become a citizen. When that happened,
he proudly showed me the certificate he got.

The kid in question wants to go to a decent college. That isn't
going to happen without a decent SAT score and a good personal
interview. Language skills help with the latter.

Do gunsmiths make good money? Now-a-days the ability to pay the tuition
is more important than SAT scores or your diction.

He's retired from the military. Gunsmithing is a part-time thing with
him.

You must hate that he's drawing a government pension even though you
don't pay taxes to contribute to it.
