Thanks everyone.  As an update, I've got some upper pieces from diamond back coming...and an aerotrend upper (splurged!)  Now I need a lower parts kit, pistol tube, charging handle, sights and grip.  My research indicated that Magpul is American made so I'm looking at the MOE K2 grip.  Supposed to be closer to vertical and better for shorter weapons so it seems like a good fit for this build.     The pistol tube and charging handle are next.  Ambi charging handles are crazy priced!  I actually gave away a pistol tube a few months ago because I thought I'd never build one... :wall:   it wasn't padded though, and I think I want a padded one.

That's kind of my goal but I"m having a hard time getting there for less than $400.  And that's at 50 for a lower.

Thanks guys!  I"m looking hard and making notes.   Any comments on Diamond Back products?

Hey guys, I'm putting together an AR Pistol, my first.  I've already got a lower and a barrel (7.5").  I'm looking for recommendations on the rest of the parts to completely assemble the pistol with parts made in the states.  I also am looking for best value stuff.  This is a budget build.  Any manufacturers you guys know of I'd appreciate hearing about them. Thanks!  

either way, it's just a form and stamp to be covered according the the Man.

  Digging up bones here I know...just noting that I've referenced this for a few friends recently.   Sticky maybe?

Ron, I noticed your location...looks like you're moving on up on the US!  Welcome to TN!  Nice leatherwork there.  I've been slowly trying my hand at some leather myself.  

I like mine.  All my other knives refuse to stay in the safe now that my 5050 moved in.  It's causing quiet a ruckus.

Man, that's not cool at all.

Hi all, I'm looking for options to attach a rifle to the underside of my F150 seat where I've just installed the Sunrise Tactical seat cover.  Basically it's a wall of molle.  Just asking to see if anyone has recommendations on straps and such that might be applicable for this.   Here's a link to the panel. http://sunrisetacticalgear.com/Super-Crew-F150-Molle-Seat-bottom-rear-drivers-side-2900614.htm    

congrats to you sir, and your son!  

Like the axe business. I'm going to try my hand at one.

  I"m going to plant some garlic today.  Can't believe I'd forgotten to.  

Urban gardner here, I've got around 80 4" pots going to sprout seeds here.  Beans, tomatoes, squash, peppers, Okra and such.  Along with a bunch of flowers.  Hoping we're done w/ frost at this point, but it's not mid-April yet...

alright, I sent off the forms last week.  Can't wait to get them back and finally be able to take my rifle to the country!

  Yea, I took note!  I could see myself cleaning for too long easily!

  I guess you knew I was going to read this thread!  Just glad I was able to learn something before experiencing it myself...I've been warned.

I appreciate everyones input.  I'm going to start out tumbling before de-priming.  We'll see how that goes.

What does a color job like that cost for an upper? Did you just mail it to them?

I'm preparing to start reloading for the first time.  Been reading about tumbling media and learning that some folks don't de-prime until after tumbling to help keep pockets clear of debris.  This seems to make lot's of sense to me.  What's the downside of tumbling after de-priming...is pocket inspection very arduous?  I'm thinking about starting with the lizard litter from Walmart (finely crushed walnut shells) as my media.  

What are the five conditions you're referencing?

ok thanks, just wanted to check.  How long a turn-around should I expect?

When filing a form 20 to transport interstate, SBR, who should I list as the manufacturer when it's a Daniel Defense that I SBR'd via e-file?  It seems to me like it would be myself, or my trust.  My tax stamp list DD as the original manufacturer, but now since it's been SBR'd, I'm reasoning that my trust is the manufacturer and I should list the trust as such for the Transport form.  Have I got this correct?  

Ignorant to what heat treatment means. CAn you give me a a brief.
