John Dillinger - FTF   Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 14,670 | Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment for your first time out. Under $700USD is a great savings. You got some quality parts AND you got to assemble it yourself so you know how the damn thing works. Excellent job. I am looking most forward to your range report. However, a word of caution - Once you build your first one, they get damn addictive after that.

John Dillinger - FTF Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 14,670 | Very nice Junho - That is "Minute of Bad Guy" in any country on the planet. Looks like you built yourself one fine AR there brother. 50 rounds through it - Any problems? How did it feed and eject? Any problems getting the brass out and away in time to feed the next round from the mag? How was the recoil? All in all - how do you feel about your first build?
