    stopped by gun connection yesterday with the intention of buying the stock wrench and vise block which would have ran me about 35 dollars. instead i walked out of there with everything i needed to complete my lower that i dint already have and 260 dollars lighter in the wallet. the place is a gold mine i never even knew it was there even though i drive past it a couple times a week for work. glad i found them. great people. thanks again

    Thanks for the Business!!!:D:thumbsup:

    picked up my lower today on my way home from work, got home and had the gun ready to fire within 30 minutes. very proud of myself considering it was the first one i every built. i did waste some money on a few tools though. i definately could have gotten by without the punches and the vise block.the only thing im still waiting on is a rear sight that should arrive tomorrow. ill have pics to post as soon as they come through to my email. thanks to everyone who helped me on this journey whether by offering advice or selling me parts thank you. cant wait to do another one

    so i took the new gun out yesterday to freestate and put the first 79 rounds through it (one jammed and the case was damaged so i didnt want to fire it) other than the one jam it was flawless. however im gonna have to pony up some dough on a decent sight because the 20 dollar one i got on the interwebs is exactly that cheap. you get what you pay for lol i can officially say i am addicted to the black guns now
