Stopped by the local gun shop yesterday, they had 24 AR-15 stripped lowers
for $150 total, including taxes, so I bought one. Picked it up today after
my waiting period, put enough parts in to get it ready to fire. I used the
same upper I used on my DIY lower. Fired fine, no issues.

A friend was telling me about a guy they shot with that could stiff arm a
semi-auto and pull the gun against his finger and bump fire but without a
bump fire stock. So I tried it, after a few failed attempts I got it to
double, then I got a 3 round burst. Sounds like a machine gun and I can hit
the ground with every shot! :-) I don't think it would be a good way to
hit anything, may be useful for gardening, I can plant seeds in the holes I
shot in the ground.

After I torque the barrel on the M-16 upper it will be ready to test fire.

The 4 raw forgings I ordered in early February finally came in today. I
figure I'll try to machine them with my CNC mill to the 80% point so I can
sell if I want or finish the trigger pocket in the CNC when I decide to. I
wanting to build a 30 cal for the 300blk cartridge, that will probably be my
3rd upper but I hear ammo is hard to get for the 300blk. Maybe I can get
some dies to neck out 223 to 300blk and load my own.

Now build yourself an AR pistol, and build your own short pistol buffer
assembly on the lathe


Aren't those a BIG bag of worms?
