Just got my first lower receiver from spikes tactical. Very excited to complete.

...and pretty easy if you're the least bit mechanically inclined.

Thanks fellas. It looks really easy. Just have to get ahold of some parts.

It's like Legos for big kids.

Only more expensive!

What started as a father and son build, turned into another expensive hobby...............cars and guns! Good luck with your builds (because another is coming, you just don't know it yet) and have fun with all the tempting emails with sale items.

Your pretty close to me, if you have any issues feel free to holler.
One spot that is a bit tricky and you don't want to FUBAR- the roll pin for the trigger guard.

Bert has a cool garage, come hang out and you'll learn a few things. It's not the roll pin he has to worry about, it's the damn ear for the roll pin!

Thanks for all the advice and help but I have it completed now. Been trying to post pictures but sight won't let me do it from phone. The roll pin for the trigger guard was easy. It was the front takedown pin that was a pain. Got it though thanks to my step dad's nifty tool.

I built 1, then 2,3..... Yep, gets addicting for sure.

I actually put together a Star Wars Lego kit for my son on the same day as I assembled an lower for the first time. The Legos took longer.

If you have a friend and want to mess with him, buy his kids a 500 to 1000 piece lego set. My buddy did that to me several times while my kids were too small to do it themself. He meant well, but my weekend was shot.
