So I go stumbling through the door of my local gun pusher. Wait...no.....wrong story. (you long time members will get that)
So I'm finally getting around to building this thing. I've been sitting on the majority of the parts for a little over a year. So I figured that today is the day to get this bitch together.
All I gotta do is make this.........
...........turn into a functional rifle. Seems straight forward enough, even for a window licking, cherry flavored crayon eater like me.
So, it's been a while since I built my last rifle. I almost forgot how much of a bitch those damn trigger pins can be sometimes. Of course, the first time they damn near fell in. Then, following the typical R2 pattern of luck and stupidity model,. I forgot to put the safety selector in first. No biggie. So I Pop the pins back out and slap in the selector. Trigger pin slides in like butter. Then I proceed to fumble with the F#*@ing hammer pin for 15 minutes. Walk away, take a couple of deep soothing breaths, get a drink of water and return. Hammer pin slides in. FUKER!
So, at this point, the lower is complete. Yea!
So I go to start working on the upper. NOW. Take a good look at that first picture and tell me if you see what I'm missing. I'll wait.
(insert jeopardy music here)
OK. I'll let you in on it, since I can tell that you're on the edge of your seat? The FUKING gas tube. How do I not have a fuking gas tube in stock? You've GOT to be fukin kiddin me. Un-Fucking-believable. Can't really get too far with the upper build without the gas tube. It's kinda like an important part if you weren't aware.
So, it looks like I'll return to this later. Where's my fukin beer at?
Armalite SPR lower, Armalite upper, Armalite LPK
Standard A2 stock, Hogue grip, Toolcraft BCG, Geissele SSA-E trigger
Ballistic advantage 18" 1 in 8 twist stainless 6.5 Grendel barrel, with NO FUKIN GAS TUBE!
PRI gen 3 handguard, PRI top rail, PRI flip up sight/gasblock, PRI flip up rear sight, PRI charging handle
Did I say no fukin gas tube?
Atlas bipod, AAC compensator (going with this for my cans)
And still no FUKIN gas tube.
I haven't decided yet on what glass that I'm gonna put on top of this bastard yet. I've got it narrowed down to about 4 different optics. Shocker.....somehow I always seem to pick expensive $hit. Fuk me four ways from Sunday. I'll let you all stew on which four they could possibly be for a while.
That's enough for now.
As you were ladies.
