AR15 lower receiver build party - Hagerstown
Date/Time yet to be determined
I've decided to throw a lower build party at my place once all the lowers from the group buy come in, are transferred, and everyone has had a chance to buy a LBK and/or stock kit. The event will take place at my house, probably in the evening after 6pm, during the week, or on a Saturday or Sunday morning/afternoon, depending on what schedule works best for the majority of attendees.
Beer will be available after the event
Conditions for attendance are that you either have a lower(s) that need to be built-up, or that you have tools/experience and would like to be present to contribute to the overall knowledge of the event. You must also be a MDShooters member, or friends/family with a MDShooters member (PM me to check if with me if you or someone else who wants to attend are not a member here). Membership with the website is free. One final requirement is that I must have at least met you once in real life before you can attend (if I do not know you, shoot me a PM and I can easily make exceptions). I don't want a bunch of strangers in my garage. If you want to meet up with me sometime to go shooting, or just to have lunch, a beer somewhere, whatever, and introduce yourself, that would be great! If you're not sure if you qualify, just PM me and we will work something out. Chances are if you're a MDShooters member of good standing you will be more than welcome to attend. The more the merrier!
This is NOT an official MDShooters sanctioned event.
I have at least two lowers coming from the April 2011 Spikes Lower Group Buy that need to be built up. Attendees will watch me install each parts group, one at a time, and then each person will subsequently install theirs. For instance, everyone will first watch me install my magazine catch groups on both of my lowers, then everyone will take turns installing their magazine catch groups. Once everyone's magazine catches are installed, we will move on to the trigger guard, etc, until everyone's lowers are complete.
What you will need:
Attends that are building up their lowers will need at least one stripped lower. You lower does not necessarily have to be from the group buy. Any AR15 or AR10 lower will be permitted. You will also need a lower parts kit and/or stock kit to complete your build. If you only want to install certain parts, for instance only a lower parts kit, only a stock kit, or just a new trigger, that's fine too. Anyone wishing to attend simply to lend a hand or provide backup/extra tools is also welcome. Also, if you intend to build up a lower in the future you are welcome to attend just to watch and learn.
I have all the tools we will need, including brass hammer, drift pin punches, roll pin punches, AR-15 multitool (mostly for the castle nut wrench it contains), allen wrenches, needle nose pliers, gunsmith's screwdriver kit, etc.
I have built-up several AR-15 lowers and as the event unfolds I will have built-up several more. It's really all quite easy, and if you just want to attend only to watch and learn, you are welcome to stop out, and then build up your own lower later on your own.
If you think you will be attending, please post here in this thread and I will make a list of attendees. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to post in this thread or PM me. At this point, as we don't know for sure a specific time frame for when the lowers from the group buy will be availble to pick up, I cannot say for sure when this event will kick off. It will likely be late May or early June, again, depending on how long it takes for the lowers to come in. If there are any major scheduling conflicts, I may consider throwing two parties at separate dates/times.
If you do not like Yuenglings Lager you are encouraged to bring a 6-pack of your own.
Directions to the event will be provided via PM, no later than a week before the event, to all attendees who don't know where I live.
