ar-15 Lower Receiver Build

[plechatam]

great video! I put my PSA lower together by watching this. Thanks!!

[bradkrit]

Great video. Two questions: Is your grip split near the top? Is it hard to get a flash hider on a barrel with no threads?

[brandyn737rr]

@bradkrit The grip has a replaceable backstrap. Flash hiders don't go on barrels without threads. But any good gunsmith should be able to thread a barrel for ya.

[MrMugstone]

is this a semi fire mode only?i noticed the way you put the parts inside...

[brandyn737rr]

@MrMugstone I'm glad you were able to deduce this from the way I put the "parts inside." I was only able to figure it out by the linear ratio of bangs to squeezes.

Also meant to say, like the color combo, said you were painting it camo-? Im not a camo guy mysef, but I see the appeal of it, looks great also - blacks been done to death-lol I see now those are "Knipex" pliers, have to locate a pair of those, very useful for clean hammeri free roll pin installation - im an ex mechanic, surprised ive never seen those before. Another handy thing to hold that front roll pin detent and spring is a utility knife blade - worked good for me, as does your method. 

[yambo59]

Nicely done, ive only just built my 2nd AR and I love the simplicity and reliability of the design. I actually wanted to press in the pins as you did, but all I had was channel locks and was worried about breaking an ear as they wouldnt press in a straight line like those pliers you have, >what brand / kind of pliers are those?<-- I'd like to find a set, theyre perfect for the job. Thats a nicely dont assembly, not a mark on it, I didnt want marks so taped everything before using drift punches

Great video. Awesome tip on using a mag instead of buying a block.

[brandyn737rr]

@WinThePennant They certainly work. While a bench block is best a Pmag does the trick :)

[ShooterBob55]

Great video - did you paint the parts for the lower green, or did you order them in green?

[LRAFB]

Great video! Starting my first build-up and this is by far the best video I've found. Really appreciate the close-up views.

[brandyn737rr]

@LRAFB Thanks for the kind words :)

[skatincriss27]

[brandyn737rr]

@skatincriss27 You, sir, are welcome :)

[bobsolla]

[brandyn737rr]

@bobsolla Thanks!

[morreon]

[brandyn737rr]

@morreon negative...Google

[Mrmicpolock]

just dropping in to say thanks for the great DIY vid, I used it for reference and it made my job easy

[brandyn737rr]

@Mrmicpolock No prob! glad you could use it :)

[Wulfmancala]

Also, putting teflon tape on the buffer tube thread works wonders as well. Lock-tight works too. I don't stake anything and everything works fine.

[Wulfmancala]

Nice color choices for the rifle, man!

[brandyn737rr]

@Wulfmancala Thanks dude! I wanted to do something a little off the beaten path

[NIKON777]

Youll be sorry you lok-tited that castle nut. Been there done that. Best to stake it.

[brandyn737rr]

@edd217 Thanks dude!!! That's sorta what I was going for :)! Sub for more.

[abarms11b]

[michaelwinne]

Nice job man that finish is looking good! How's is the upper build going? I would like to see a video of the finished product with the gun-kote.

[brandyn737rr]

@michaelwinne Stay tuned my friend. Everything is done and the video is just waiting to by edited by my lazy butt.

[goodinplenty1]

[mofireman37]

Nice vid man! You were very deliberate and your instructions are easy to follow. Looks like your on your way to a nice rifle. Thanks for sharing.

[brandyn737rr]

@mofireman37 Thanks, I really tried to make everything close up and simple.

[benbangui]
