AR-15 Build

**willis68** · 09-09-2009, 07:39 PM

Finally, after a serious amount of frustration, my lower receiver is complete and functions perfectly! I will still have to get it engraved and go through the NFA process before I order the SBR complete upper but after several learning mistakes this thing came out perfectly, thanks to all of you who gave me advice it sure helped out especially the vice grip roll pin install. Oddly enough the easiest thing on this build for me was the front take down pin install, I used my Kroger card (key chain) to hold it in place and it was simple,

anyway parts:
Stripped DPMS lower receiver
RRA lower receiver kit with 2-Stage National Match Trigger (same as my RRA Pro Government DEA rifle)
Magpul CTR collapsible butt stock
Magpul MOE pistol grip
Magpul Trigger guard

Since I traded away my RRA rifle, I have decided to build this one with a N4 Light Carbine Low Profile Upper 14.5 inch Noveske and not SBR it, I have this upper on layaway and once I get it out I will post pictures of the build, here is a picture of the Upper assembly I will be using

--Made of Mil Spec M249 Machine Gun barrel steel, with heavy M249 Chrome Lining,
(appx. 2 times as thick as an M4 or M16)
--Extended Feed Ramps

--Same weight as M4 barrel, 1 lb, 9 oz, but improved contour for maximum
rigidity, no M203 notch
--MP HP tested barrel
--Carbine length gas system

Low-Profile Configuration:
