The build-it-yourself AR hobby is a pretty big deal. Buy a piece at a

Much fun to be had.


When I picked up my bridgeport this april, I looked into the scrap dumpsters
at the seller. Tons of scrap AR upper and lower forgings along with
trigicon? scope housings. I should have asked for a few but I figured they
wouldn't give me any. Still... Something to add to my list of regrets.
