    Some of you know I’m new to owning ar’s, and after purchasing my first I decided to try my hand at building. I was going to wait until all my parts came in and do series about my first build, but if I sit and wait for these upper parts to process and get to me it will be 2024. So for now I’ll just start off with my lower parts and add pics along the way. Don’t mind the clutter.

    I decided on the following parts
    *Aero M4E1 Enhanced Lower
    *BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 pistol grip
    *Strike Industries Enhanced Lower Parts Kit
    *BAD Ass Pro Ambi Safety
    *Milspec Buffer Tube
    *H2 Buffer
    *Rise Armament Rave 140 DTOM Flat Trigger

    The only part that’s come in for my Upper. Chose the Odin Works Rune 12” which actually is 12.4 even though they said it’s a 12”. Guess once my upper parts and 12.5” barrel comes in we will see how this fits.

    If you have a torque wrench, dump the locktite. Even if you don't, there's no need for locktite on an AR.

    Oh nah I put that on the anti roll pin screws on the trigger. I don’t plan to replace the drop in Ra140 so I just wanted to make sure them screws don’t come out. Only thing I need to do is stake the castle nut.

    Just in time to have a new build completed and under the tree to myself for Christmas.

    Went with
    *Rosco Manufacturing 12.5” 5.56 Sauce Pack
    *Aero Forged Upper to Match the lower
    *Breek Arms Warhammer Charging Handle (FDE) cause I love them.
    *Odin Works Rune Handguard. Was suppose to be 12” but it’s 12.4 so it’s going to be interesting.
    *Strike Industries Venom Flash Hider
    *Trinity force Barricade Handstop

    Will be transferring my optic Sig Romeo5 and flip ups from my Zion. Will post pics once done. First thing is to lap this receiver. Stay tuned!
